Re: Bachmann SV S4 Addressing
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI ¡®suspect¡¯ the recommendation was for a 1,000 ohm resistor.? Possibly a typo. ? This is a ¡®common¡¯ solution for programming Lenz, and Lenz manufactured OEM non-sound decoders on a DCS50.? The resistor was needed so the decoder would create the ¡®ACK¡¯ response on the programming track.? ? I¡¯d not heard of this being needed with a ¡®Sound Value¡¯ decoder, but if it works so be it.? I think this ¡®trick¡¯ works on a DCS51 as well. ? Ross ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of

Re: Bachmann SV S4 Addressing
SoundValue decoders are based on the first gen? Tsunami decoders and all Digitrax systems had problems programing them.
The addition of a Soundtraxx PTB-100 was suggested. One work around with the Zephyr was to use it in BLAST mode. This was not documented in the DCS50 but is documented in? the DCS51 manual and applies to both DCS50 and DCS51: OPSW 07=blast mode. The layout must be disconnected while in BLAST mode as programming is sent out on all track ouputs: prog and main. The safer option is the PTB-100 Marc |

I'm not sure if this will help. Because my experience is with GP7. Sound Value.
I use a Digitrax DCS50. When trying to program a Bachmann, I couldn't. So I contacted Digitrax and they said "add a 1 ohm resistor across the wires to the programming track". I did and that solved that problem. That was the only way I could get the engine from 03 to the loco number. I've heard an alternative is for a 12v light bulb/auto 1156? across those wires. So, it might be as simple as this was for me. -- Morgan Bilbo, PRR fan |

Re: Decoder Pro does not recognise a Uhlenbrock decoder

Sorry, CV 7 not CV 8, is 37.? And the problem is that DecoderPro does not recognise a decoder model from Uhlenbrock with that code. Roger On Fri, Dec 27, 2019 at 9:27 AM <forfoum@...> wrote: On Thu, Dec 26, 2019 at 10:39 PM, <GROMITROGER@...> wrote: --

Re: Bachmann SV S4 Addressing
Bachmann S4? are Soundtraxx Soundvalue equiped. Sound comes up when power is applied to track.
You do not state what DCC Command Station involved. Your issue might be related to CV29 not being setup. How are you going about the address change ? Marc |

calling dispatcher from script
#scripting
#dispatcher
I am calling dispatcher from a jython script. The train starts and rtraverses the route, however I cannot get the train to slow down and stop. I am using a speed profile and the train slows down and stops when called using the normal dispatcher. I am calling the routine using DF = jmri.InstanceManager.getDefault(jmri.jmrit.dispatcher.DispatcherFrame) DF.loadTrainFromTrainInfo('T2_1.xml','ROSTER','diesel') Where T2-1.xml is a normal xml file produced from dispatcher. I presume that the stop command is called from an event when the train leaves the penultimate block, and I suspect I have not set a variable in the train info file which is normally set when calling the routine from dispatcher. If i could be given a pointeras? to what extra variable(s)/routine(s) need to be called I would be grateful. I have downloaded the source and have tried to find the information, and experimented but failed dismally. Thanks Bill |

Bachmann SV S4 Addressing
Hello,
Anyone know if Bachmann SV Locomotives are not able to be assigned 4 digit addressing? I'm trying to address one to 5050. When I do, It has sound of the main engine, but won't move or do any functions. Set it back to 3 and it works great. Suggestions please Thanks David Epling Stockton, CA |
As it's a USB connection you should never cycle the SPROG power without also restarting JMRI. The timeouts indicate that is taking a while for JMRI to receive replies. I've only seen this on slower systems such as Raspberry Pis. I don't think they are the problem.
Can you control turnouts if you set the SPROG to programmer mode? Are you using the correct system name for the turnouts? Andrew |

Decoder Pro does not recognise a Uhlenbrock decoder
#uhlenbrock
I have a ROCO locomotive with a Uhlenbrock decoder (CV8 = 85), but the DecoderPro list does not find a model # for CV8=37.? Anyone help to identify what decoder on the list will match this model number?

Re: Issue with JMRI start up
There is no such device as a DCS150... In a previous post of yours you made the same mistake.
What you need to do is post the System Console log. Go into HELP, System Console. Copy to clipboard? and past (CTRL+V)? to this thread so people can view the log. Quite possibly the answer is in the log. The log will also indicate what other items you are loading. Marc |
