Re: ESU "Essential" decoder on Decoder Pro

Gerald, 1) You do not need to write it back. Reading it is enough. 2) Most types of decoders do not require it, that's probably why nobody put in the JMRI startup. I only know about ESU Loksounds that

Re: Failed to get response from command station
#digitrax
If the CS is not responding to the Track off command and others then either its (1) not receiving it (2) seeing it garbled (3) ignoring it. Moving the comm port is part of a fault isolation process.

Gerald, You should read the whole decoder (I use the CV tab and 'read full sheet') to start with. I scroll the list to see if anything got a red or yellow color, implying it didn't read ok. I do a

Nothing wrong here at all. You can move it to COM5 if you wish but since some of the data is being passed along, the COM3 setting is not the issue. There are many retries in the communication as
