Have to say it's brilliant. Easy to set up and the 37 project downloaded with no problems. Really enjoying running the loco from my phone. Well done Hornby. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few sceptics out there but those that try it (and follow the instructions 😀) find it to be a very simple and versatile system. Lots more bells, whistles and dongles to come. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it works, it is great, but I've had 10 of these chips so far and 4 were dud (one only worked in one direction before it died and I cannot get shot of the thing from the app, one made made whistle pop sounds on the speaker when connecting and refused to work, two have had no bluetooth signal what so ever). In 40 years of buying Hornby products, these seriously affect my confidence. The potential is there but reliability has not been in my case.

I’m on 26 installs now, only had one dud, so sorry to hear your problems. I think it’s a vast improvement over any current DCC system, let’s just hope the sound files further increase in diversity.

That has to be done thru’ the rails either PoM or by service track programming. In response to JS there is a force delete. Delete the bogie decoder three times and force delete option appears. That will shift it. Also contact HM.customercare@Hornby.com and ask for replacements for your duff ones. Give them your decoder ID numbers as proof of ownership. HM7000-xxxx.

Chrisr40 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 When the dongle arrives and we can control non hm7000 decoders via the app will we be able to add descriptions to the function buttons in the app as there will be no pre set list of which button does what to upload ? Would save having lists of functions or cheat cards like I have now. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In practice you allocate a function (spanner) the function number to operate, pick an icon for it then overtype the function name. Having set up all the functions then you can export and save that profile, then import it to a similar class loco later.

RMweb Premium NFWEM57 Posted October 7, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 7, 2023 OK, apologies in advance if the answers to my simple question are somewhere in this length topic. As I understand it, with HM7000 decoders you can: Install and then download the correct sound using a phone/tablet via Bluetooth with the locomotive powered from a conventional DCC track. Switch the decoder to DCC mode and use on a convectional DCC track thereafter; ESU ECoS powered. Switch back to Bluetooth for sound upgrades, if available. I have several HSTs to add sound to need to confirm the following: You can set 2 HM7000 decoders to the same long address, as you could with any other decoders, eg TTS, ESU. No need to adjust wiring for dummy power car, simply adjust CV29. Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Kaput Posted October 7, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) Yes to all the above except whether you need to adjust CV29 on dummy power cars depends on the model. Fairly sure the 8pin Hornby HST's had the wiring reversed on the dummy car so CV29 changes weren't needed, no idea about the newer 21pin ones.

equaliser Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 The Hornby super detailed HSTs all have the dummy car wiring reversed so no need for any CV29 changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAF96 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 HM7K decoders are simply normal decoders with an aerial. Take them out of the box and do whatever you would normally do with a dcc decoder. Yes, you can use the same long DCC address for both power and dummy cars and run them as one from DCC. What you cannot do yet is control 2 Bluetooth addresses at the same time under one hat, but it is being worked on. Ref dummy car and CV29 - no need to fiddle as the wiring is correct out of the factory for running pointy end last. Once masking is set as required then lights and sounds follow direction of travel. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
