Locked ESU in Atlas
开云体育A friend of mine brought over an Atlas RS-3 to be programmed and I was able to give it a 2 digit address but not 4 digit.? It has the ESU LokSound Select Sound-Decoder.? Also speed curve could not be changed other than readjusting the end value and the linear (straight) line speed is reduced.? Any ideas about 4 digit addressing? ? Gary Ray ? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Wilson ? If those are the ESU Essential Sound Unit model decoders, I dont think they are in the JMRI system yet. I think the developer that is working on that is trying to clarify with ESU some fine points. If they are LokSound v4.0 or Loksound Select, they should be in there.? The Essential Sound Unit model has limited programmability. But I dont know any of the specifics as I dont own any. ? ? |

Gary, The LokSound Select is a very versatile decoder. It should take 4 digit addresses just fine and the speed curve setting functions perfectly for me.? Did you have decoder pro auto identify the decoder as in a new loco? ?After that you need to go to the cv pane and read full sheet. It takes a while. There are over 1000 cvs. Depending on how your programming preferences are set up it can take 20 minutes to over an hour.? Then you can change speed table, etc. If you read Dave Heap's instructions in the same thread you referenced in your question, you can set your preferences following his instructions before reading the decoder and it will minimize the time needed.?

开云体育There is no inherent reason why you were unable to set a long address in a LokSound Select decoder, unless you were trying to do it in Program on Main. Changing long address in Program on Main is unlikely to work. The Speed Table behaviour you see is by design. It is explained on the Speed Table Pane of the ESU decoder definitions and also at this link: <> Did you actually use Read Type from Decoder in JMRI to determine the correct model? You should always do this for ESU decoders. What version of JMRI are you using? Always use the latest version with ESU (or other modern) decoders. Please read (or reread) the entire message I posted a few hours ago: That message has important information about ESU V4 and Select decoders. --?

Gary, You should update from 4.10 to at least 4.12. I personally always go to the latest test release which is now 4.13.2.? ? 4.10 has some issues where it randomly changes your default connection preferences to internal and plays havoc with reading decoders.? ? It is much more stable in 4.12 and beyond. Tom Wilson On Sun, Aug 12, 2018, 11:23 AM Gary Ray <gerber1926@...> wrote:

开云体育As Tom said, V4.10 is too old and has issues. Use at least V4.12, preferably the latest V4.13.x test versions. If you are doing decoder ?programming, the latest test version is always the best. --? Dave in Australia The New England Convention 2018 On 13 Aug 2018, at 3:22 AM, Gary Ray <gerber1926@...> wrote:
