richard yes it can be done but i use train controller and have done it on several layouts tony

hi i have a factory sound fitted one and i noticed that one ends cab lighting wasnt working ...what i needed to so was just tweek the contacts to connect better

it does worry me this is a new fetish i dont klnow about

hi simon do you get an error message .. how are you tring to program them?

can you give more details? also is the throttle on the lastest firmware?

absolutly useless for peco code 55 unfrog points ive gone to servos where i had them installed where there was a lack of space

hi there nice to see another dcc'er local to me .. yes northampton also ... i can try and help with answering some questions over a coffee etc ... i use a digitrax system and have done since 1999 . im in the middle of a huge upgrade of the railway from z to n so bit are working and bits arent tony

....i now know it can .......the issue is the software not being able to as mixing the 2 systems is not the best idea and can cause issues tony

the number of slots for me isnt reallly an issu what is an issue is running advanced and legacy throttles mixed and as the one software that has replied isnt supporting the extended at the moment then you have the mixture i know the dt 402 and the 500 can turn off the use of the expaned slots but im not sure you can do that on the 602

well i have found out one (as i suspected) of the 2 main players does not support the expanded slots on the dcs240 but ive had no reply from the other one which i find dissapointing espcally as the the other replied back within a few hours

Hello all you software guru's this question has come up in my head while trying to bottom out something else .... and that is the train controll software ... what ever the flavor is ...acts as far as loconet is concerened a clever throttle ... but digitrax with the introduction of the dcs240 intruduced expanded slots (ie upto 400 loco slots in the command station) but the functionality has to be turned on in the later throttles to use the extra capacity....so my question is does the software of what ever flavor use the extended capacity i ask this as there seems to be issues with using both legacy and the new extended throttles you can turn of the extra slots in the cs to stop the issue but i wondered what the situation is with the software implementation of the throttle tony

hi as of the 14/8/2020 Digitrax have released a firmware update just letting you know

now thats interesting as ive had the same issue but .. it really didnt bother me as i dont find the loco images useful as one black steam loco loos like another black steam loco ..i just use the cab numbers

the thing is and maybe this isnt the right thread ... that if Herr Friwald released some basic information on what was updated on each minor update, the end user would have a better idea if the update was needed by them, so they could make an informed decision of install or not to install the update we dont really know what the difference for instance v b1 and v b2 .. so we have no idea if there is anything we should check or to leave the update as there is no gain for a particular person

that is the post i was refering to earlier
