Someone asked about the locobuffer jumper settings. Here's the info based
on the schematic John Jabour posted:
JP1 Baud rate
1-2 19200
2-3 57600
JP2 Echo
1-2 off
2-3 on
JP3 Operating Mode
1-2 MS100 compatibiity mode
2-3 LocoBuffer mode
JP4, JP5 Programming
1-2 Normal
2-3 Program
Notes:
1. I think that you need to cycle power after moving the jumpers before the
changes take effect.
2. JP4 and JP5 should always be 1-2 unless you are reprogramming the PIC.
It seem that once we learn something, we might be forgetting it too.
Should someone be keeping a FAQ/Trouble shooting Log for each thing we
learn in terms of system setup? Take error messages and translated them
into check actions ect.... I hate to see BOB spend lots of time in the
future addressing common communication problems.
The log should include accessories Q&A such a Locobuffer setup info and
checks. Same with USB to Serial Adapters. You get the ideas.
Personally I do not have the time, but maybe others do. In the end I
hope that this file be included with the install as part of the
documentation.
Just an Idea...
