Locked ESU Select Question

 

Hi all
I am have been looking into the possibility of using decoder pro to upgrade Micro Select V4 decoders to the FUll Throttle version. My guess is that it can’t be done I had considered trying to use a Full Throttle version to clone to an older version with the same prime mover type. My guess is the sound file is different enough that it needs a full new sound file loaded from ESU. However knowing there are some pretty smart people on this list I figured I would ask.
Thanks Brad
 

Brad:

You need the ESU/Lok programmer to download the full project to a Lok decoder. Then you can program the CV with DecoderPro.

If your particular locomotive has an FT project, I think most (US) do.

If you don't have a programmer available check that the sound project you would want is available and let us know with an approximate location and if there's someone who might be able to help we might be able to put folks together.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello Brad,

There are Select micros and V4 micros but there are not Select V4 micros. The
Select line is a "dumbed down" version of the V4. The selct can only be loaded
with ESU sound files, with the V4 the modeller can make their own sound files
and load them into whatever sound slot they may desire.

To install the Full Throttle features you will need a LokProgrammer. In the
files section there should be either a pdf or Word document listing folks
willing to help other ESU users, someone may live close to you...make a new
friend?

ESU uses a proprietary communications method to talk to their decoders, Decoder
Pro can only manipulate CVs within the decoder, it cannot load sound files or
firmware updates into the decoder, again the LokProgrammer is required for this.

Hope this helps.

John

Maybe in the ESU forum but not in here. I searched for it out of curiousity.

The list is in the Files section of the LokSound group, recently moved from Yahoo to

That's the one.

Seriously, sometimes I don't know what or where I am.
