this is a problem slight problem when the Zephyr remembers them as thrown because it won't send a throw command if it thinks its already thrown. When powered on the Digitrax DS64s which control my switches close them all. My Digitrax Zephyr doesn't do this (that I know of). No turnout monitoring means it won't know the current position of your turnouts. If there isn't one I don't think you can connect a computer to it. There's not a lot to try out until you've got that bit ready :nerd:Ĭonductorjonz: a touch panel for your panel? ooh boy, there goes my disposable income for the next whileĪUI is Attachment User Interface. Since it's Open and Free, it's easy enough to download it and try it out - assuming you can make it talk to your controller. I haven't tried more than two throttles/engines myself - it got a little chaotic trying to stop them all from getting hurt on my baby-sized layout. Kozmo: as dstuard mentioned, JMRI is really a collection of programs there's a core part that talks to your controller via either a native interface if your controller has one or an add on - such as the Digitrax LocoBuffer and then other programs in the collection talk to that core - DecoderPro for configuring your locos, and little throttles for controlling the locos. I wonder if the limitations mentioned stem from the fact that all alone a PowerCab doesn't really have a Cab Bus from that I wonder if adding a Smart Booster would improve things any?

With an NCE PowerPro, it worked out of the box - only one serial cable needed. The user interface is just Java to me - but then, I am a geek
I've fed my whole (DCC) roster into DecoderPro and set up speedtables even. but it is workable, and the price is right.ĭo any of you have experience with DecoderPro? I'd like to hear other people's opinions and experiences with this software. Having taught programming for many years, I have to say that the DecoderPro user interface is not elegant. This worked fine on my old notebook running Windows XP, but DecoderPro couldn't talk to the LocoBuffer-USB on my Macbook running OS X (if anyone has done this please post how). I purchased an RR-CirKits LocoBuffer-USB for about $65 to make the connection to my Digitrax Zephyr's LocoNet. You do have to purchase an interface to connect your computer to your DCC Controller the web site gives details about this. ( ).ĭecoderPro is found at and can be downloaded for free.

It occurred to me that not everyone knows about DecoderPro, an Open Source (free) software package that does the same thing.ĭecoderPro uses the JMRI (Java Model Railroad Interface) code library, a free set of Java programming tools for writing DCC control programs. In another thread someone mentioned a product that interfaces DCC Controllers to a personal computer.
