Re: Digitrax SDXH186MT Decoder CV's
Hi Marc, I have redone my loco with the Extended Series and now can adjust the CV's. Thanks again for the heads up?

Thanks, Bob.
It would be great if that fixes my problem!
I must need a newer manual. Mine was printed 3/27/2000. I looked at the index and thumbed through all the promising parts. Nowhere was there anything about setting the command station to default to 28 speed steps.
It's probably time anyway. The tethered throttle information is out of date, mine have pushbuttons for the function keys, and lack the illustrated rotary switches the older ones used for setting the decoder address being controlled.

Re: Digitrax SDXH186MT Decoder CV's
CV169 is listed in the Extended series6 definitions added by John McMasters back in 2015

Hi Steve,
I closed the throttle of the locomotive and changed the controller to a different address. Before that, I checked that the engine responded to turning on the headlight. I also closed the control panel; only the Speed Roster menu was active. Then I changed the Speed Profile settings to match yours.
Still the locomotive did not move after pressing the start button. The light on the PC did not indicate any new activity. The LEDs on the NCE USB interface blinked steadily as usual. The computer had been restarted and other apps were closed. The block sensors were working okay.
Thanks for your help. I don¡¯t know what to try next.

Digitrax SDXH186MT Decoder CV's
I notice that Digitrax only list up to CV157 in their specs and JMRI lists up to CV160. However using Digitrax Soundloader program, one can go higher.
Is it possible to get an update as I am interested in altering CV169 for some sound projects?

Hi Patrick.
Firstly: It will not work if there is a throttle in use for that loco anywhere, jmri or wifi or what ever.
Secondly: Don't try starting at 1, increment by 1, it will take all day and if the loco don't move at all on speed step 1 nothing is ever going to happen.
For a first go at it try, for a 128 step decoder, Start Step 63,end leave blank and? increment 63. This will do a 2 point table? Mid and top.
Check the monitor to make sure? the speed step is being sent.?

Re: Decoder Pro 4.16 opens with Roster Screen Instead of with "Menu" Screen
When I try to make a custom shortcut for the legacy interface by copying
and pasting the new target script I get a pop up window that says what is in the
target box is not valid ¨C to make sure the path and file name are correct.
Either I¡¯m doing something wrong or it¡¯s broken.

Bob,
The "new" DecoderPro3 is just a different "look"
and accesses the same underlying code as the legacy DecoderPro interface.
Like you, I much prefer the legacy interface and have created an icon to
launch it, using the directions located here:?

I made some more tests.
Copied the sound files definition in config.xml--since there
aren't any other to use, just doubled them up. Example:
<s1notch-sound>

<notch-file>sounds/engine/Speed2g_1.wav</notch-file>
???????????
<notch-file>sounds/engine/Speed2g_1.wav</notch-file>

???????????
<notch-file>sounds/engine/Speed2g_2.wav</notch-file>
???????????
<notch-file>sounds/engine/Speed2g_3.wav</notch-file>
???????????
<notch-file>sounds/engine/Speed2g_3.wav</notch-file>
???????????
<notch-file>sounds/engine/Speed2g_4.wav</notch-file>
???????????
<notch-file>sounds/engine/Speed2g_4.wav</notch-file>
???????????
<notchfiller-file>sounds/engine/stille800.wav</notchfiller-file>
??????????? <min-rpm>18</min-rpm>
??????????? <max-rpm>65</max-rpm>
??????? </s1notch-sound>
Tried this with 3 and 4 cylinders, no crash but also the chuff
sounds are now far too rapid. Not sure how to approximate BR96
sound with this system, but this particular hack didn't work.

Looks like the code isn't expecting a value larger than 2. Not
sure about hacking this myself since I don't know what
side-effects might be produced by messing with the array size.

I¡¯m having trouble with Speed Profile in the Roster menu. I want to use them for warrants to make the train start and stop at the same place in the block.
?I followed the instructions to set up the profiling session, but when the start button is pressed, the engine does not move.
?I verified the configuration and updated the software. It¡¯s an NCE PowerCab with PanelPro v. 4.16 on a Windows PC
?Other functions of Warrants work properly, after much help from JMRI volunteers, but the Speed Profiling feature does not.
?Any suggestions would be appreciated.

As it turns out, my old style is no longer relevant.
I have replaced the run/skip style with a program address style.? The actionTokens list is now treated as a computer program with control actions modifying the current address index.? This simplified the implementation of nested IF and GOSUB logic.
Thank you for the push to make this change.? It was time to re-think how it runs and therefore this will be version 2.0.
Before releasing this on the world, I would appreciate if you could verify with your setup that I did not miss something important.

Klaus,
Nice thread.? however, i've always been confused about the speed vs rpm system:
"VSD gets the speed from JMRI as a value of 0 - 1. Then VSD calculates the speed as revolutions per minute (RPM). Here is the formula:
speed = % of topspeed (mph)
RPM = speed * ((inches/mile) / (minutes/hour)) / (pi * driverdiameter)
With the calculated RPM VSD can choose the suitable sound files."
Maybe I'm math challenged.? With 75mph top speed and 60" drivers I get? ((75mph)(12in/ft*5280ft/mi)/(60min/hr))/(pi*60in/rev)=420rpm.? This is much higher than the maximum last step of 178rpm.? What am I missing?? ?For every 1mph I get 5.6rpm using the above.
I'm interested in this because of my success with the "steam1" file in adding stop/start, coast and half-speed plus many additional sounds, i.e, long & short whistles, crossing gate, and radio chatter.? Now I would like to take this to a USRA 0-6-0 slope back tender with a top speed of 40mph and 51" drivers. My "0-6-0" file does respond differently than the unmodded "steam1" at low speeds but I would like to spread out the low speed chuffs to better match the switcher.

Decoder Pro won't open decoder windows
Decoder Pro is acting very oddly.? ?
DP opens OK.? But when I select a locomotive from my list of locomotives, nothing happens.? No new window opens.? This behavior is the same whether I'm trying to program on the main, programming track or only edit the locomotive.? I've tried downloading and installing a new version of DP but there was no change in the way it acts.? I can't seem to install a new version of Java, probably because of the age of my computer.??
I am running Windows XP.? The version of JMRI I downloaded is 4.16+R6f9aced; it seems to have installed correctly.? I'm using Java 8, Update 31.??
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hello group,
With an Arduino switch based decoder you can create a sketch to keep everything off until after start up...I had to do this with relay based switch actuation and some times servo based as well
