I have the above set up, and just recently, like yesterday, tried for
the first time to program a digitrax TF-4 function only decoder.
What a dismal failure, sigh.
I've never had a problem with this set up before, done Tsunami,
Loksound, Soundtraxx, and Digitrax motor control decoders, all with
no problem.
Don't know if it's a sprog or decoderpro problem. I tried direct to
decoder connections, and various resistor ideas trying to simulate a
motor load, etc. Decoderpro reports an error "stopping due to no
locomotive detected". It's pretty adamant about it. It's not the
decoder, I was able to program one on a digitrax programming track.
Did Digitrax design a decoder that only works on their system in
spite of what the instructions say? Am I doing something stupid??
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Good Day all; I have the above set up, and just recently, like yesterday, tried for the first time to program a digitrax TF-4 function only decoder. What a...
Phil, some motors don't draw enough current for the ACK to be detected by SPROG/Decoder Pro. You may need to hold the wheels or some such to increase the...
Hi Ian/Paul, A function only decoder need to have a resistor (47k?) connected between one output of the sprog and the programming track, otherwise it can't...
Ian, Have you actually had to do this? You're the second person to have said this in two days but I've never had any reports of problems until now. Regards, ...
Hi Andrew, Yes, with certain locomotives I've always had to take steps like holding the wheels, or increasing the weight (same effect) in order to get the ...
Phil, There's a similar problem reported on the Digitrax list, message 104253, where someone was trying to program with an NCE system. The advice was to fit a...
Hi Andrew and other responders; I tried all sorts of resistor combinations, but never across the function leads,,,, wish I would have thought of that, sounds...
