Hi, I bought a Sprog2 a couple of years ago to use on my first DCC layout unfortunately my son 'borrowed' my laptop and it was never tried. Last week, with a...
Vista and USB. And yes, the laptop does recognise the fact that the Sprog has been connected. Not sure why my actions are to blame for a product that fails to ...
Maybe I did not make this fact plain enough however it must be rather difficult to read through the posts but I did write 'the response from Sprog was to visit...
Yes,I think that was made plain in my first post.....is that a problem? The response was to refer me to their website and download the latest drivers which I...

My mistake- not Vista, XP. It still does not work and I haven't got any further with the problem. I suppose Ebay is the next stop as I really am unimpressed. ...
... Tim, It's difficult at this time of year to be at the keyboard 24/7. We had some contact a few weeks ago but then I didn't hear any more from you. I've...
I advised you to download and read the manual as it is a brand new manual with a lot more information than was available previously, including step-by-step...
Tim, Are you connected via Broadband? If so it might be possible to utilise the "Remote Assistance" feature within Windows XP. Are you familiar with this?...
Finally, thanks to this forum, it works! The Sprog2 works beautifully and there was no need for new drivers etc. and I managed to programme my first loco and...
They're functionally identical. The only real difference (apart from the physical size) is that the SPROG I includes the voltage regulator. It can run on DC as...
Hi Tim, I'm very pleased that you have managed to get all working. Was it a case of RTFM (Read The Flipping Manual)? I am sure that you will still have...
It was more a case of the curse of Bill Gates. The computer identified the presence of the Sprog but did not know which com port, Bill knew the method to...
has anybody tried this? does it help solve the problems with the reluctant sound decoders? especially as regards READING the decoder? I know Andrew is...
Michael, I don't know the answer regarding the PowerPax, but can tell you that the new firmware is tested (thanks to Ian Birchenough for his help) and seems to...
Michael, quick answer, yes I have tried, and no it makes totally no difference. The issue with the SPROG was not the same issue that standard DCC controllers...
I'm installing on a new laptop running XP SP 2. Decoderpro is working fine, now I want to install the FTDI drivers for my USB Sprog. This is an early V3...
... BTW: You always want to use the VCP (virtual comm port) drivers for these things if you want JMRI to work with Sprog. The D2XX drivers are for "other"...
... NO! You need the VCP drivers. ... FTDI now only provide one set of drivers which include both D2XX and VCP, the correct ones being loaded, depending how...
Hello All I am Bill Zettlemoyer I have a serial SPROG3 v3.9 I am using it with an optoisolated booster and Visual basic. Will there be a firmware update for...
Hi Bill, No firmware upgrade required (that was the original plan), but please try DecoderPro version 1.9.2, or later. Configure the connection (edit - ... use...
