Lenz LZV200 v4 and 63 functions
#lenz

OK, so I now have a Lenz LZV200 running their v4 firmware which, among other things, brings 63 functions for each loco

My LH101 recognises the extra functions, but (so far) JMRI does not I changed a roster entry to use F29 as the sound function, and added a label for F29 to match Neither WiThrottle nor the internal JMRI throttles show F29 - they top out at F28 as before SO....... Is there a setting somewhere in JMRI I need to tweak to get the higher functions, or is this really not yet supported by JMRI?? If so, I'll raise an issue to (hopefully) get it on the list Fingers crossed Phil G On 05/04/2023 21:51, phil@... wrote:

My guess is that JMRI doesn't support it for Lenz LZV200 command station. Maybe even that it isn't supported for XpressNet, but I'm not sure. --- Daniel Bergqvist JMRI developer 2023-04-13 20:04 skrev Phil G: OK, so I now have a Lenz LZV200 running their v4 firmware which, among other things, brings 63 functions for each loco |
开云体育Hi all… I’m also a (very satisfied) Lenz user with a LZV200 running Ver. 4 software that is described on their website as, “Software version 4.0 also expands the number of switchable function outputs.?A total of 69 functions can now be addressed in locomotive decoders (F0 to F68).?Please note: The use of 69 functions requires a handheld controller LH101/LH101-R from version 2.1, alternatively the use of the PC interface of the LZV200 or an external interface.” Although Lenz is presently more popular in Europe than in North America, it now offers a long-awaited wireless throttle available and is a really great product and I would suspect that their newly expanded function base will gain traction with competing manufacturers. ?So I would hope that the JMRI development team would seriously consider revising the functionality for this system as I’d be amazed if other systems aren’t forced to do the same to offer comparable functionality; I would assume that many JMRI users also reside in other areas of the world outside of North America that would benefit as well.

开云体育Thanks. I did mean 69 although my fingers obviously typed 63 for some reason!Also my LH101 at v2.0 DOES support functions up to 69 despite what the Lenz website says
tbh, 69 is a “bit much” but 28 is becoming limited with increased sound decoder abilities (ESU nit Lenz!) I’m finding I’m running out and could do with at least half a dozen more functions……

开云体育PhilCan you access these functions with any Lenz/ExpressNet equivalent of the Digitrax Loconet Function Immediate command? ?Works ( Last time I tried, which was a while back) up to F99. ?I used it when older Digitrax gear only went to F12 and I had a decoder capable of F28. Do you have any decoders capable of F29? Mick ________________________________ Mick Moignard m: +44 7774 652504 Skype: mickmoignard The week may start M,T but it always ends WTF. |
开云体育Not exactly sure what you mean by "function immediate"?? Phil G On 14/04/2023 18:18, Mick Moignard via

Certainly do - and I can operate an F29 on my Lenz handset - i just can't (currently) find a way for a JMRI throttle to activate F29

To anyone else with this same requirement I've just had good news from Bob Jacobsen

开云体育Hi Phil – and Bob… Awesome…and in light of the wonderful support from all involved, it seemed like a good time to pony up and send along my typical annual donation of $20.00! Thanks, everyone! Jim |

All,
Changes have been made in JMRI WiThrottle Server, WiThrottle and EngineDriver to (hopefully) handle the higher functions (or at least quietly ignore them). Can anyone share a Roster Entry or two that have more than 32 function labels in use? This would be helpful for verifying the changes. --SteveT |

开云体育Ohhhh. ?I misread your questionI’ll send you a roster entry later. From a LokSound 5 that goes at least as far as f31. Would that help?

开云体育Forgot to add. WiThrottle is currently quitting at f28. Personally I only need up to f31 though, not the full works (yet) - this is the highest I see in my LokSound 5s….Phil G On 3 May 2023, at 16:47, Phil G via groups.io <phil@...> wrote:

The only decoders with that many functions that I am aware of are ESU and Marklin. Seeing there was a recent thread about using 63 functions with a Lenz controller I assume they have a decoder capab;le of that many functions, Zimo might also have one capable of more than F31.
