Locked What NCE Decoder model is in Atlas N scale MP15DC?

 

Hello all,

I would like to configure JMRI for my new Atlas MP15DC.? When I purchased the unit it came with a NCE decoder.? When I try to identity the decoder in JMRI it lists all the models.? Does anyone know which model I should choose??

If you need further info the Atlas item # is 40 003 817.? I am using JMRI 4.13.4 on a Windows 10 laptop.?

Thanks,
Felice
 

I don't have the answer for this situation specifically, but what is a good general strategy to identify a decoder in Decoder Pro if you get several options?? I've purchases a few locos on ebay with no info on the decoder.

Thanks for the help,

Felice,

Is your decoder identified by JMRI as an Atlas (CV8=127) or an NCE (CV8=11) ?
What is the value you read in CV7 (version number)?

Atlas are branding the decoders by asking the manufacturers to change their number to Atlas manufacturer number. The rest of the decoder is unchanged.
You can manually select 'North Coast Engineering' > 'Silent Running w/ Torque Compensation' > NMP15.
We'll need to clone the NCE decoder to an Atlas decoder at a later stage, if need be.

If DecoderPro can't uniquely identify the decoder, there are several possibilities:
1) The manufacturer doesn't provide enough CV-readable information to uniquely identify the decoder.
2) We don't have the decoder in our list of known decoders.
3) We have a definition for the decoder but your example has a versionID outside the range we were aware of.

If you can tell us the manufacturerID (CV8) and versionID (CV7) DecoderPro reads, that is a good start.

DecoderPro is showing that CV7 is 38 and CV8 is 11.?

Felice,

All these NCE decoder share the same software, therefore the same CV set. The only difference between them is the form factor, but this cannot be known by JMRI. So you can use any that is listed by JMRI, but using the NMP15 will obviously list the appropriate decoder model in your roster.

Thanks all!! I am using the NMP15.
