Question about a computer for programming locomotives...........
I have an "extra" notebook computer I want to use exclusively for programming locomotives using JMRI/Spog II and Q Industries programmers. I was playing around with it the other day and it is sooooooo slow!
My question is this: Will removing programs I will not use on this computer (I have 2 others) speed it up? Is there a process to do this, such as remove the unwanted programs then do some kind of "refresh" to "re-align" everything to help speed it up?
You can tell from my terminology I am no computer geek.
Apparent loss of signal
Have an aged [probably 10 years old] Digitrax DB150 and had just started a running session when locos stopped. I was using my UT4 throttle. Relative light indicators were lit on the DB150 and green light lit on throttle when I dialled up the loco. No response from loco. I was running an analogue loco on "OO". The loco was " humming" which indicated to me that power was in the track.Any suggestions please? Thanks - Tom
45 ton DCC Sound Installation
Is TMTV going to post the second half of the HO Scale 45 tonner DCC Sound installation video?
A noobee DCC decoder question
I have a very basic question regarding DCC decoders. I have a bit of confusion when I read about sound decoders and control decoders. Do sound decoders control the train's movements as well as produce sounds? Do control decoders only control train movement? If I have a loco with a basic control decoder and I want sound, do I just add a sound decoder or remove the basic decoder first?
Thank you to any and all for their input.
Wire Guage
I'm constructing an 4x8 N scale DCC layout. I have 12 rail joiners positioned throughout the layout. My plan is to run each joiner to a bus under the layout, then run the bus wire to the DCC power pack. My question is what size wire gauge should I use for the bus?
Thanks-Tim
SMA 13 - Update to the 17 Pin Configurable Multi Function Decoder / Accessory Decoder Version Added
Because of the interest in this project (Details can be found here: http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/19446 ) more example decoder variations have been added and some start up timing problems have been fixed. The new libraries and examples can be downloaded from here (Updated November 26, 2016):
