Excellent, I will give it a try tonight. What are the differences in the later firmware ? Is it compatibility with various decoders ? If so are there decoders...
Well I gave it a try and was able to use the throttle control to run a train on my programming track but when I ran a cable (2m) over to the actual train set...
To answer your previous question, the later firmware is compatibility with certain sound decoders, so it sounds like you are still OK. As you can see from the...

Hello I've just purcahsed the ESU decoder tester and wondered if anyone has used Sprog II to program decoders on the ESU Profi-Prüfstand (Decoder Tester)...
