paulbb Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Recently bought 2 of these decoders for 2 OO gauge locos- one for a Bachmann J11 and another for a Dapol Western. My controller is a Gaugemaster Prodigy Advance. Although the locos run OK with their default addresses (ie 3), the Prodigy unit seems unable to change the addresses of either of them; I have checked all the connections to the program track, and when I 'send' there is a light flickering (on the Western) and some slight movement with the J11. The addresses seem stuck on a value of 3. After an attempted change of address, when I attempt a 'read' the address value the J11 has the value '01267', but still responds to '3' when off the program track and on the main line. The Western returns a value of '0000' and also works with address 3 still. Have I got two dud chips here? Is there a known fault with the Prodigy? Alnyone had this problem before?

RMweb Gold 96701 Posted January 26, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 26, 2014 Paul, I use MERG Canbus and had to set it to 'Direct Mode' to programme a TCS decoder and the Bachmann 21 pin. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/79870-help-to-programme-tcs-t1-and-Bachmann-21-pin-with-merg-canbus/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
