Thanks Nigel for the tips I have spend a few hours today setting JMRI on my Mac book, and set CV309 to 2 on there, when I read it on the digitrax system it still says CV309 is 130 but the brake function works with F2 now properly as I have reset CVs 124 and 156 back to 0. thanks again Ollie

Hi Be prepared to get confused as I am. Your totally right about what you said, setting CV309 to 2 etc., I was trying this way before hand with no success When I try to change CV309, if I put "2" it goes to 198 after writing - it should only allow between 0 and 28 CV349 does the same. If I change CV124 to 2 and CV156 to 2, set the throttle to 99% the engine will accelerate depending how I set CV3, and if I reduce the throttle to 0% the loco coasts to a stand depending how CV 4 is set, if you adjust these obviously the loco does different accelerating and de accelerating rates. Now, if I hit F2 with this the loco will start to brake a lot faster with me controlling it take my finger off F2 and it goes back into coasting to a stand, hold F2 down, it stops a lot faster Am using the Digitrax evolution express advanced Any ideas? Thanks again Ollie

Hi John Thanks for replying, When I try and change cv 309 it should be only between 1 and 28 ie 2 would make F2 work, when I input 2 it goes to something like 198. I have version 37.22 so should would work. Having pulled my hair out yesterday afternoon searching the net, it seems if you adjust cv 156 to 2 the brake function seems to work on F2, but very rapidly, if I adjust as well cv124 to 2 this problem seems to reduce itself. I will need to adjust cv 3,4,5 now Ollie

Hello I have just had installed (hardwired) into an older Farrish loco a zimoMX617N decoder, I am struggling to set up the F2 brake in CVs 309 and 349, none of the values match the online manual from Zimo and do not work. CV 7 says 0037 so am not sure I have the firmware to do this as the manual says the software for this function is only valid above 33.23 If anyone has any ideas tips for this it would be much appreciated thanks Ollie
