I got a new laptop from Dell just a week or so ago, and found that they had included serial and parallel ports as a standard practice (at least I think it's...
Hello all, Sorry about English. 1. What is your opinion what will exactly and precise happened, with any Digitrax DCC hardware (at IC level) peace, if RailCom...
I think that if any standard than Digitrax is adopted, The NMRA will no longer be relevant in the area of DCC. There is no question that the market has voted...
... Well the standard will be different than the current Digitrax transponding functionality. I don't know all the details but I believe that the RailComm ...
Hi, I spent a difficult hour or so pondering the two posers below today. Sooner or later, the RS-232 route to/from our train stuff will be history. Our...
... That is only if you are using a newish PC to run your layout and you _chose_ to have the USB only version. I saw a whole pile of new ASUS motherboards ...
... Given the huge number of hardware devices still being produced with RS232 interfaces and given the simplicity of USB to RS232 adaptors this doesn't seem...
Hi Bob, If you remember, a few weeks back I asked about the speedometer function being implemented for NCE. You mentioned that I/we would need the BD20 -...
... Correct, my G4 Powerbook has no Serial Port. ... Not Correct! After an installation following Bob's description it's as simple as to select the wanted...
Hi, Aren't semantic blocks fun? I meant that plugging an arbitrary, unknown serial device into a USB hub is rather unlikely to do as plug and play would infer....
Hi Alex, I am certainly happy for your wealth of availability concerning legacy supplies. Locally in the past week I surveyed two large suppliers of parts and ...
Hi Dave, Thanks for confirming my oblique jab. Would you care to comment on the Intellectual effort needed to do a conforming adaptation? ================== ...
... I've plugged four different models of USB-serial adapters into a PowerBook G4 and run successfully. The combinations that I remember are: KeySpan "PDA...
... I'm still not sure I understand your point, but are you say that you would like to see a system whereby: - you have a LocoNet USB device/interface - you...
Hi Bob (and others), I'm boggled but swaying. I haven't said I can't see doing one path like a DCC command unit to a PC. My concern is plugging more than one...
... That would probably work for NCE, as it doesn't use the RS232 control leads anyway. It might depend on the computer hardware (e.g. built in serial vs USB,...
... Well I expect you will start and see COM3, COM4, COM5... From the little I know, each USB device ID is composed of a vendor id and then some sort of serial...
Dave, Try Vutrax or Eagle freeware if your design is not too large. Vutrax (http://www.vutrax.co.uk) is limited to 250 pins. I found it took a while to get...
Ever since I replaced the old IBM laptop with a newer PC, things on the AFTICARR haven't been the same. Problems such as performing consistent configuration...
Well okay I must be going through brain fade here or something. I've been at this problem now for the past several hours with no resolve, so I'm turning to...

Paul, What is the address of the loco? I found out that certain numbers are "forbidden" like #103. I used that for my Stewart FT Demonstrator and although ...
Nick, The address I'm using is 8302. (The sister unit -- the one that works -- is 8301.) All of my XML files are pretty current. I just made all new files ...
Hi Bob, Thanks for your reply. After reading your technical reply about 6 times I think understand what you're saying. I'm not too versed in the pure...
Update: (sorry, this got kinda long) Per Nick's suggestion, I tried changing the decoder address to 302, but the same still occurs. What's more weird is when...
I'm not sure if my problem is related to the previous post but CVP's AD4 programming Panel will not open to allow configuration of a new decoder. From the...
Seth & company... If you want to build something like this, you might want to look at using something like the Basic Stamp.. http://parallaxinc.com/ or more...
Paul, I guess the question is what version of DecoderPro are you using and have you tried reloading the previous version if you are using 1.1.3. Jon Miller ...
