STEVEHEAT

Thanks again for your help, how do you know all this is it all self taught?

Wow Big cheers. Took a chance and followed your instructions using itrain ( the only thing it didn't seem to be able to do was read cv357 so I assumed it was ok and carried on) and hey presto F6 and F7 now work my cabin lights. I would like to thank you on your clear instructions especially to someone who isn't familiar with any of this. May have ago at making them come on directionally (I assume that is possible) thanks again Steve

thank you for your reply I am using Itrain Pro and it looks like it could read up to 1024 cvs. If that is the case would I be able to use this. I will ask Howes but the person who fitted the decoder was not very impressed with their technical help to put it mildly. If I cant get the advise in which to change cvs can I go down the hit and miss route with trying to change F17 AND F18 for F6 and F7

hope this is in the right area. Have recently purchased a Dapol Class26 with a sound decoder from howes. the cabin lights are on Aux1 and 2 which is F17 AND 18, These work fine as I understand in most controllers and can confirm the cabin lights turn on and off using railmaster. I am now using Itrain and unfortunately it does not work the same, It is odd and I think function 11 may be stopping any function button from 12 upwards. Is there a way to change this at all using cv values. As you can tell I am not that clued up on this but any advise would be welcome I can confirm Itrain works fine on using a non howes decoder and cabin lights work fine so I don't think its all itrains fault I don't mind if the cabin lights are on all the time that would be better than none at all

I watched your video with interest and was trying to see what feedback modules you were using I am now ready to order my command system at the moment i have itrain installed, track in place and wired for current drop detection ( 2 rail ) and no other equipment so free to choose what ever is most suitable. I will be going with the DR5000-ADJ DCC Multi-bus central which has a power supply and usb cable but cant work out for sure what else I need for current drop detection from Digikeijs i think i need the following i will be using 60 points so i was going to purchase 2 DR4088LN-CS_BOX LocoNet Complete Starter Kit with 32 reporting points which contains 1x DR4088LN-CS 1x DR4088CS 1x DR60890 L.NET cable 1 meter 1x DR60881 STP cable 1 meter my other query is i have 2 reverse loops both use a reverse loop module so dont think i can use current drop method I was thinking of using 2 optical sesors on each loop but again dont know which module i should get for that. have tried contacting Digikeijs but there is no phone number and have yet had no reply from a sales ticket any advise would be welome
