Helpful as always, Bruce

Seeing the LokSound decoder used as an illustration prompted a question: Would that LokSound decoder fit as well as the type you show in your how-to for installing sound into a Proto 2000 Geep 9? Looks at me as if the LokSound's footprint is identical or nearly so. So with the milling of the frame that you show, Bruce, I should be good to go, I think. But I await blessing from the master. .

I believe so. Don't have the loco to compare, but the LokSound decoders are smaller than the first generation Tsunamis.

From Lokprogrammer SW to DecoderPro

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for this excellent review.

May I add an extra feature between Lokprogrammer SW and DecoderPro: DecoderPro can import the CVs from ESU's Lokprogrammer software and inject them to the decoder. From the Lokprogrammer menu, you select Tools then export CV list as a text file, then from DecoderPro , you create your new engine with the right ESU decoder, then import the lokprogrammer CV list file.

It will save a lot of time when trying to read a full Loksound V4 decoder.

 

Cheers from Paris.

Thanks, Alain

Or should I say, "Merci, mon ami."

I haven't had the opportunity to do a lot of work with the LokProgrammer since I sold Litchfield Station. This feature was added in the meantime.

Avec plaisir :D

With pleasure Bruce.

I'd love to have those kind of DCC articles in the French RR magazines.

Well, Alain

MRH is an INTERNATIONAL magazine available on the WORLD WIDE web?

Loading sounds

Can I use a LokProgrammer to load sounds and CVs to a Digitrax or QSI decoder?  And vice versa?

Dear Rock, Short answer,

Dear Rock, Short answer, no. Slightly longer answer: the lokprogramer _may_ be able to program CVs for other decoders when driven by JMRI, but cannot be used to load sounds to other brands. (When user-loading _sounds_, you are obliged to use the matching brand software and interface/programmer for the brand of decoder in question). Happy Modelling, Aim to Improve, Prof Klyzlr

Rock The lokprogrammer, used

Rock

The lokprogrammer, used with the Lokprogrammer SW can update CVs of many brands of DCC decoders, but AFAIK cannot be used with JMRI.

 

Regards
