Locked Re: New install of DecoderPro

Sorry for the slow reply. Perhaps you've got it working, at least for write operations now?

If not, there are a couple things you can check to help track down the trouble. First, see if basic communications are working: a) The LED on the LocoBuffer should be flashing with LocoNet traffic, for example if you turn a throttle. This means it's sending something to the iMac. b) Next, pull down the "Debug" menu and select "LocoNet Monitor". This should open a window that let's you see LocoNet traffic. When the LocoBuffer's LED flashes, you should also see the messages in that window. If you get this far, the connection LocoNet -> LocoBuffer -> Keyspan -> iMac -> program is working. That's pretty good... If not, let us know what's happening. Now for the other direction. Try to write to the decoder again. You should see a programming message in the LocoNet monitor window almost immediately, followed by a short burst of replies and other stuff. A few more small questions: What version of MacOS are you running? I ask not because I know of any that are problematic, but I'm just curious, and perhaps it'll be a clue. What version of the LocoBuffer PIC code are you using? Some of the older ones (pre-January) had problems with the long programming messages, but if you got your PIC from John in the last couple months it should be fine. Let me know how it's going, please. Bob At 4:05 AM +0000 5/25/02, vanhovem02 wrote:
