Hi everyone
As you will notice this is my first post so I apologise for joining the forum and asking questions straight away. I did look for an area where I could introduce myself first but couldn't find one.
Anyhoo
As the title suggests I have just received a Zimo MX600R after reading good reports about it on this forum but can't make up my mind whether it is faulty or I am missing something obvious. I have a small layout that uses JMRI & DCC++. Up to now I have used a mixture of Hattons, Hornby & LaisDCC decoders and have not had any problems reading or configuring those using JMRI however when I try to read the Zimo decoder info. on the programming track the motor ticks twice and the headlight flashes at the same time but I get the message " no response from locomotive" To test my setup I have tried the decoder in two locos and have substituted the Zimo with a Hatton's which I can read OK.
Have I missed something ? reading the huge Zimo manual there was mention of unlocking the decoder, I'm not sure if it was relevant to my decoder but tried it anyway but it has not helped, neither has resetting decoder with CV8 = 8.
Your suggestion will be gratefully received.
