The SPROG user base has grown to the extent that I feel a dedicated group will be useful to share experiences and provide mutual help to other users. Whilst...
SPROG is a computer controlled programmer for DCC decoders which is supported by the DecoderPro freeware. It is available with either a serial or a USB...
No one has posted yet so I'll start the ball rolling and say welcome again to everyone who has joined. I only screwed up one (I hope) by accidentally rejecting...
For some time I have been promising new firmware to allow SPROG II to act as a full blown command station (an external booster may be required). The firmware...
Andrew, Good idea about establishing a "group" for SPROG users and, as I am fairly new to the world of DCC and SPROG, will be looking forward to learning from...
Andrew, I'm please to hear you are battling with CT products. Do you envisage being able to reprogramme sound files as well? Shortly there will be sound...
Hi Andrew and all I have an earlier version of SPROG which I purchased back in 2004 before SPROG II came on the scene. Is there any difference between the...
If sound decoders can have the sounds programmed through the rails then this could, theoretically, be done with a SPROG. Similarly for ZIMOs method of updating...
All versions operate the same way with DecoderPro but the older ones are a little behind in bug fixes. Older SPROGs will not be capable of running the command...
Hi All I would like to buy and use a sprog 11. Will i need to buy any leads to connect the sprog 11 to the computer if so are these u.s.b.?. Also how do i...
Geoff, The serial version requires a serial lead which is available at extra cost if you do not have anything suitable. The USB version comes with a lead. You...
Andrew Thank you for your reply It looks as though It is simpler than I thought. I have a TR100 transformer spare so this should do the job. Good luck with the...
Geoff, If the TR100 is just a transformer then I'm afraid it will not be suitable as SPROG II requires a regulated DC supply. They're available at the same...

Trevor, It sounds like you are doing the right things. Does the SPROG power LED flash when you turn on the track power? Are you certain you put the correct...
Hi all, I just joined. An SPROG list is a good idea, there needs to be a forum for discussing issues related to these devices. As for sound streaming...
Just joined. Reading the messages reveals that the move to sound is as fraught as ever. My biggest objection to commercial producers of programmers is that, ...
... Just to add my two pennorth and probably late, but Trevor, did you remember to a) write all your changes to the decoder and then b) save the roster file...
... then ... Techie question from somebody who does not really understand computer programming protocols. I thought that DecoderPro was capable of reading and...
Hi David, I suspect you were asking Andrew, but I'll try o help here. <snip> ... <Chuck> We need to be careful here. The flow of information to the decoder is...
... Thanks Chuck, A good treatise which gives me some insight into the more esoteric side of DCC. Some explanation of my own stance/attitude. After 59 + years...

Hi Andrew, does this mean a PIC replacement would turn my SPROG v.3 USB into an SPROG II of latest release? If so, which PIC is needed? I now have a...
Peter, SPROG II uses an 18F252 and the command station firmware is written in Microchip C18 (the compiler is a free download). To use it with an old SPROG...
