Hi Andrew C, OK - thanks for the info - I'll give it a go. I've not had a chance to do any further investigation. Still using XP SP2 - however, I have a ...
If I can stick my 2penneth in, I can't get it to work as a throttle full stop with one exception that I will come to. As soon as I change to Command Station...
Hello everybody. I have recently put together a MERG SPROG kit and then found this user group. While looking for some control software, I was surprised to see...

Just a quick note - I have had quite a lot of success with using an Xbox (original) controller as a USB throttle with DecoderPro - my development efforts are...
Hi Guys, Could do with some advice please - I would prefer to have the JMRI throttle work in 28 speed steps (edit speed controller to show steps rather than...

Good Evening, I am Patrick and live in Spain. I have obtained (via a friend) and built the Sprog kit. Had I known about the smb's I would have gladly paid full...
More info from me. There is no track voltage. Using Hyperterminal I can switch upper LED on and off, I also can get the version number. (3.9) When I type in...

Patrick, Yes, the + command switches the track power as well as the LED. With the track power on, the PIC pins should be toggling. Your DVM may show a voltage...
... Back again Andrew, There is no power at the track or the terminals with LED lit. I got a reading of 6.8ish from the regulator, is that ok ? I deleted msg...
Patrick, The reply of !O in the JMRI log means that the SPROG detected a short circuit and turned off the track power. That's why you can't read any voltage. ...

Andrew, Following on from my previous post. I bit the bullet and fitted R100 (oR47) and in hyperterminal I got 8.89v (ac) on the track. Do I need more volts,...
Patrick, R100 is referenced in section 3.4.1 along with all the other output stage components. It is pretty crucial, as you,ve found. It sounds like it's...

It is worth it - I use a SPROG as a command station - it works really well. I too had teething problems but these were due to my PIC being blank - no-one's...
