W1 is for Q1 2024. Problem with this link is that it has a specific date included so it will probably cease working.p and is already out of date. try the following on the Hornby.com site click on Shop and the HM7000. Then click on the Brochures and Guides icon. this takes you to a page with all the manuals, guides, profiles list, compatibility and trouble shooting. The profile schedule is the first entry of the profile list section. There are gaps in the profile list which seem to be reserved for future profiles included some not yet announced. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Walker Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I've now fitted out two locos with the new decoders, one 8 pin in a class 56 and a 21 pin in a class 73. Both working straight away and with no problems downloading the necessary sound and function files. The one problem I do have is that the lights on the class 73 are working backwards. So I've amended CV29 and added the value of 1 to it, using both the app and my DCC system, but it's made no difference to the loco. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but it's certainly not working. Anyone had the same problem at all? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMorrison Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Sounds like the 8 pin decoder is in the wrong way round. Not sure that you can put a 21pin in the work way round though :( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The missing pin is often catered for by there not being a hole in the PCB. Upside down it has no effect. Edited July 16, 2023 by melmerby 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Walker Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I think you've missed the point here guys. Yes I know the lights are wired wrong. Using the previous decoder I added one (1) to the value in CV29 and it changed the direction of the loco to match the incorrectly wired lights. So no problem. I've added one (1) to the value of CV29 on this new 21 pin decoder but it hasn't changed the direction of the loco, it still goes the same way as before. So adding one to CV29 hasn't made any difference and I don't know why. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot just 'add one' to the value in CV29 to reverse the direction of a loco. You must read the value of CV29 and if it is EVEN you can add one, if the value in CV29 is ODD then you must subtract one from the existing value. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Walker Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Sorry lads but I've been using DCC now for 20 years and know how CV29 works. All the instructions under the sun doesn't alter the fact that by either adding one or taking one away from the recorded value of CV29 doesn't alter the direction of travel of the loco, as it should. I've even tried changing it using DCC programming and that doesn't work either. Yet if I pop in another decoder make and change CV29 so the direction of travel changes then it works. So, it looks like the option of changing the direction of travel with these new Bluetooth decoders doesn't work! Yet if you read the notes under the CV editor it does say "adding 1 to the value will change the direction of travel" or words to that effect.

I believe the original had an internal combustion engine driving a generator for electric power to the wheels.

I'll try to use the HM7000 speaker tonight, instead of the build in. Do I have to physically disconnect the later when I do this? The preserved NER railcar has a new, 21st century engine/generator. So even a recording of it wouldn’t be accurate for a 1910s railcar. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3489gibson Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Found my spare powerbank yesterday afternoon whilst looking for my Costco card, and decided to fit it to my recently chipped 34050 Royal Observer Corps. Refreshed the CV's and there wasn't any notification about static charging of the PB... Is this still being rolled out, or is it just a "we recognise that one's fitted" sort of thing? Nathan...

The static charging is sound profile dependant and being rolled out ongoing. So far the Tornado and A4 00 profiles have it. Others will come along soon. It is being discussed as to how best to flag up if a profile is thus capable and the status list on the website may be the most convenient way for now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
