Guest Half-full Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Hi I've been using a Megapoints DCC Module with my NCE PowerCab system for a good while with no problems at all, reprogramming it numerous times. Recently I've bought a Roco z21 and I've tried to reprogram the DCC Module to accept commands from the z21 with no success, I've taken another unused module and programmed it with the z21 and it works fine, plugged it into the NCE controlled layout, reprogrammed it no probs, moved it back to the z21 layout and nothing!!! Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to reset the DCC Module to factory settings? I've emailed Megapoints a couple of times with no response (which is odd as I've always found them extremely helpful) HF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMorrison Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 you have probably fallen foul of the fact that Roco by default starts the address 4 digits higher than other people, so when you issue think you are sending 1 you are sending 5. You can change this by logging into your z21 and changing the option to set the addressing in the same way that other people interpret it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your reply, is there a quick/easy way of doing this? Bit of a DCC luddite! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
