To work with the MRC decoders you have to use the Direct Byte mode. In this mode you can even read the little beasts and while you can write you'll get error...
Walt, Bob, Two questions: What is the difference between an internal sensor and turnout and a regular ones and where and when should they be used? Thanks, Ken ...
Robert, When you state "you have to restart the decoder" do you mean RESET as in reprogram it? I ask because I witnessed an MRC-equiped engine "go dumb" right...
... Basically, internal sensors and turnouts only exist within the software. i.e. they don't correspond to any physical device on the layout. There are a lot...

====================== HOW to ask your question ====================== One of the most common questions about JMRI is "How do I get it to work?" This isn't...
Paul, I guess there is something here that I don't understand. Why not just use an LS sensor or an LT turnout that has no physical device on the layout to set...

This past weekend I was asked to do some programming of a decoder that does not seem to appear in the decoder list anywhere. The decoder ID'ed as the MRC 1627...
Ken, One thing I can think of is that the internal turnouts, signal heads, and sensors to not add any traffic to your command bus. On a small system this is...
I meant exactly what I said. When you first acquire the locomotive you have to press one of the function keys to start up the locomotive before it will respond...
Thanks for the clarification. The engine I spoke of would not respond to ANYTHING until its address was reset on the programming track. M2 From: "Robert Doss"...
Hi Jack, ... You can enter in the entries manual. What you'll need to do is startup the service mode programmer and select the decoder from the list manually. ...
John, I indeed used the GE evo As it was the only choice under SoundFX. I downloaded and installed the new definition file and now have 4 choices. I created...
Just a question Would you please share some light over one point that I do not have it clear. I want to modify the chuff rate of a BLI 4-8-4 using Decoder pro...
I am asking this question on behalf of a MRR Forum user of Decoder Pro. The DCC system is a Lenz Set 100. When programming in OPS mode, Decoder Pro reports a...
HI Carl, ... There should be a more specific error message reported. In fact, "Programmer Error" should never been seen by itself. You should see "Programmer...

This sounds like one thing that I would eventually like to do: Have an automated train for the "background," as you said. One that would stop at the Passenger...
Don, It sounds like you have one of the older versions. Download test version 1.7.5. It has all the latest features, and had proven to be stable since its...
Don, The USB devices for JMRI use what are called VCP (Virtual Communications Port) drivers. This means that they appear to be serial ports to JMRI. You can...
