Hi all

 

I would like to try a Hornby TTS sound decoder, does anyone know whether it has or can have stay alive functionality?

 

cheers

Cathy

I always thought this was a bit too difficult but looking at the pictures it doesn't look much harder than soldering to the solder pads on a Loksound decoder, I might have to give it a go!

I tried it on one TTS chip - worked very well until I blew the chip :D havent tried any others since then but it wasnt down to the stay alive, it was static from me - I now use a soldering band when working with TTS chips to mitigate it and wrap in kapton tape to make it safe to handle afterwards.

Yes, it's absolutely doable and really quite easy. I did a video on it last year, plus a number of diagrams, in case they're of use/help...
