Locked Which Dapol Imperium do I pick from the JMRI list? #definitions

 

Dear All,

I have just placed my Bachmann MPV on the test track to let JMRI read the information to be able to add it to my Roster.?

I have fitted a Dapol Imperium1 21-pin inside and have been running fine before hand. ?My question please I which decoder do I choose from the JMRI decoders listed under Dapol Limited > Imperium Decoders > 2 options are given either 860015 or 860019? ?What is the difference please?

Kind regards
Duncan
 

I am just wondering if 2 are been offered as the lights in one end without the motor and decoder still need to communicate as I’ve only fitted the 1 decoder on the motor and which housed the blanking plate.?
 

Either will probably do. They’re actually LaisDCC decoders. It may well be
that the two decoder choices both give the same response to JMRI when it
interrogates them, which means it can’t tell them apart. That means you
have to make the choice instead. What did the decoder packaging say the
part number was?

If it doesn’t show up when you do a New Loco, it means that particular decoder hasn’t been defined to JMRI. To be blunt, that’s because none of the wonderful people who maintain and develop it have seen fit to add this decoder to JMRI.

What values do you get for CVs 8,7,105 and 106? ?8 and 7 are the manufacturer and versions types, with 105 and 106 also reserved for ID values.

Duncan: I think you need to rephrase your comment. How long does it take for a volunteer to gather the correct data to add a new decoder to JMRI? You make it sound like "the wonderful people" are too slow. Your statement "seen fit to add" is not very nice!
I think we owe a great deal of thanks to all those who do the work on JMRI. And have the decency to wait until someone has the time and correct data to do the work to add a new decoder.
Patience is a virtue!

Egads. I said "Duncan" and now I don't know if it was Mick? My point was not to anger anyone. Just to say how much I appreciate JMRI volunteers.

CV105 and CV106 are of no relevance.? They are for end-user notes, so their values are “whatever the end user stored there”.?

?

The Dapol Imperiums are not very common.? Dapol are a niche supplier to the UK, using rebadged from elsewhere decoders, and very limited documentation (long running threads on UK forums about lack of documentation for various Dapol decoders).?? ??Its only going to get updated on JMRI if an end user is interested in adding it.? ?Otherwise, pick the nearest and it will be OK.
