Hi, I have a TCS M1 decoder in the first edition of the Hornby Class 50 (With the reverese circuit board) I'm struggling to get Sprog (if it is sprog at fault)...
I have had similar problems with a Hornby Class 50. In the end I by-passed the circuit board altogether - hard wiring the pick-ups and the motor to the decoder...

Anyone have any ideas on the QSI decoders. I have been hoping Andrew or Bill C. would have some insight into the situation. If when using the sprog for...
I always have this problem with lights and Sprog, Andy. Either they won't come on at all or else thay come and and can't be turned off. Tony ... data ... ...
Rick, I obtained a QSI (BLI F7s) and tried them out last week, with none of the issues you saw. On checking, this was a version 6 chip, but definitely...
Bill, Thanks for your efforts. I am going to try again but was waiting to hear what you or Andrew might have to say. I was at Maine Trains on Friday and Gerry...
Bill, I just tried a BLI/QSI NW2. The Sprog was able to identify the decoder/locomotive ok. But when I read the basics it read CV1 as having a value of 1 when...
Rick, Are you using paged mode? If so, this part of the sequence for paged mode programming, the SPROG will be writing to the page register before every read...
Andrew, I have no luck at all with paged mode on these four QSI decoders that are giving me a problem. I have a little luck with direct byte. Can read some of...
Rick, do not re-install SPROG; it will not make any difference to this. Your separate message to me shows that you are having more success with the new V7 file...
Hi All, Following on from my "problem" of not being able to test lights, I came across a real stumper the other night. Trying to find the CV of a LEnz Silver...
Andy, In DecoderPro, open a command monitor window and a send command window (on the SPROG menu). Send an M in the send command window. What result do you get...
Andrew, Do you think that using an MRC power pack would be OK on a sprog 2. I think some of my problems with the QSI V6 and V7 decoders is not enough power. I...
Rick, I don't know these power packs so cannot comment definitively. So long as you can be sure that it is smooth regulated DC and not half-wave or some form...
Andrew, Thanks for the heads on the possibility of the pulse power from the MRC PS, I do not want to make the results more confusing. Do you think the JMRI...
I have just spent most of Sunday playing with DP and SPROG and have run into problems which seem unusual enough to post here. Straightaway, let me say that I...
Andrew, Sorry, not ignoring the post, been away from the computer for the weekend whilst I have been exhibiting in West Sussex (long way for me!) Everything is...
I just uploaded a new decoder definition file for CT Elektronik SL-decoders to the JMRI files area. It works perfectly in direct bit mode with my SL74...
Andrew, What are the current and voltage limits of the sprog 2 so I do not overdo my research into an alternate power supply. Thanks, Rick. ... From:...
I was happily sprogging two tsunami decoders I have installed in Bachman locomotives, fine tuning DDE,hyperdrive and the sound equalizer today when I felt...
Rick, 12V should be sufficient for programming, 15V is the limit for SPROG II. If the decoder draws more than 250mA, 100ms after power up then that is declared...
OK. send the command "M h800" followed by the command "W". Now see if the functions work correctly. It seems that a fix I thought I had applied to all new...
Andrew, Nope that just locked F0 on and can't switch it off. Throttle works but still noting on the other Function keys. Andy Posted by: "andrew_croslanduk"...
Andrew, I have not tried the resistor in series with the track feed yet. Can you make a suggestion as to the value of the resistor that would be appropriate ?...
After hearing from the author of the JMRI decoder pro files for the QSI V6 and V7 decoders that they work fine with his power pax set up I took a look at the...
The current draw problems only occur when the decoder is powered up and you will not capture it on a DVM. You would need an oscilloscope to see the inrush...
