Locked Getting ID info (was Re: 1.0.3 test installer uploaded)


 

Wow, what a quick response! The miracle of time zones...


New organization for Digitrax decoders. This should work for
existing rosters, please check and let me know the specifics if
it doesn't.
It found my previously configured decoders ok but when I did an ident it
failed to find my DN149K2s.

I guess there must be more than one DN149K2 version, so here is the trace.
Thanks for the trace. I can read the reply from that. The ID of that came back as 129 (digitrax), version 241, which is a new code I'd not seen before. I'll add it to the list so the program will get it right next time.


Can I ask other people to spend a few minutes gathering that info? Specifically, I think we can make the automatic ID work much better if people will send me the CV7 value(s) that they see for each decoder type they have. This is easy to do with the "simple programmer" from the tools menu; just put in 7 as the CV address and click "read" for each decoder you've got.

Even better would be if somebody would volunteer for the task of accumulating that info. I'd be happy to edit the files, but if somebody else could prompt people to generate it and enter the info, that would let me work on some other stuff. (I do have a day job, unfortunately)

Bob,

With a clearer understanding of the need, I'd be willing to take on
the task of compiling the decoder information. I assume you'd want to
know the Decoders Manufacturer, Model Number and Version Number(s).
How do you wan the data collected - spreadsheet (Excel), database
(Access) or other means?

Thanks!

I'd like to match the manufacturer name & their model number (i.e. what people actually call the thing) with the values of CV7 and CV8. A specific model might have several values for these, and we should catch as many as we can.

Any way to store them is fine. I use a spreadsheet plus paper notebook. A while back I uploaded the contents to the "database" part of the Yahoo group



that's a convenient way to enter a line or two, or search for a particular model, but it's an inconvenient way to work with the whole thing.
