816	I'm new to this group and since there hasn't been any activity for a week or so, I'm posting this so that the system will send me a digest so that I can get my...	g_schreyer	May 6, 2009 7:17 pm
817	Greetings ! My superb Sprog has arrived with thanks to Andrew. One of my locos - a Swiss 'Om' beast has a Loksound decoder (according to the manufacturer and...	rhbbob	May 6, 2009 8:21 pm
818	Hi Bob loco lights blinking is usually a symptom of speed steps in decoder set to a different rate than for the controller. Check and see that both decoder and...	Ozemail ahjay_rej	May 7, 2009 3:17 am
819	Thanks, Richard I am still confused by the differences between the controller and decoder settings. The controller is presumably my Dynamis E-Z which offers me...	rhbbob	May 7, 2009 9:47 am
820	Bob, If you use 128 speed steps (which you should be, really) there's no problem, assuming the decoder supports them, which any modern one should. If you...	andrew_croslanduk andrew_crosl...	May 7, 2009 11:27 am
821	Thanks, Andrew I shall obtain any JMRI upgrade and see if I can find the ESU variant. It is very straight-forward when you get into it, and certainly great fun...	rhbbob	May 7, 2009 2:52 pm
822	Gentlemen, would those of you who reply to messages please do everyone else a really big favour. DON'T ATTACH ALL OF THE PREVIOUS HISTORY THAT HAS COME WITH...	Peter Brandenburg peterbranden...	May 7, 2009 5:27 pm
823	Are you sure this is the group your rant was intended? The last digest was 4/25 and that had only one message as did several of the previous digests. Martin...	Martin Myers karpetkrafters	May 8, 2009 9:43 pm
824	A small piece of information for the future. The 'blinking lights' turn out to be flashing LEDs built into the Swiss shunting loco so I stand no chance of...	rhbbob	May 11, 2009 8:24 pm
825	Hi Paul, You didn't tell us what you tried. If you just tried reading CVs on a loco decoder or many accessory decoders then were getting timeout errors then I...	grog_polymer	May 12, 2009 10:41 am
826	Hello Everone. Just ordered a Sprog so decided I should get the best advice on it's use from the experts. Glad to be here & regards to all. Tony....	Tony Daly amdaley28	May 12, 2009 8:42 pm
827	Welcome to the group. I'm sure you'll enjoy your SPROG when it arrives. Although I have a fairly old version I've found it to be one of the most versatile...	Bob Blackwell rc.blackwell	May 13, 2009 11:22 pm
828	I just got one in the mail today and tried it out. The experience was underwhelming at best. JMRI 2.5.3 Macintosh PowerBook G4 10.5.7 I installed the USB...	g_schreyer	May 26, 2009 11:28 pm
829	Hi (name?), Sorry to hear you're a little disillusioned with your SPROG. I have one and find it excellent in nearly every respect. I occasionally have problems...	Andrew Berridge r5gordini	May 27, 2009 12:00 pm
830	Your configuration is very similar to mine. I use a 2 Ghz Core 2 duo Macbook on 10.5.6, Seems to me that you have three problems - the DSX, lack of track volts...	Mark Kasprowicz szczowicz	May 27, 2009 1:05 pm
831	Some updates I deinstalled the original driver and installed one version back. At least in programming track mode, this one seems to be better. I think that...	g_schreyer	May 27, 2009 5:41 pm
832	Hi George. and others, I don't have problems with track power. I did have problems with the driver though which I seem to have solved. So for anyone with...	Leon van Perlo lvperlo	May 27, 2009 5:53 pm
833	Leon, The SPROG has it's own USB PID but uses FTDIs VID and the drivers on the CD are standard FTDI, apart from the VID & PID being changed in the .inf files....	andrew_croslanduk andrew_crosl...	May 27, 2009 6:13 pm
834	I reconfigured the SPROG as a command station and played with a large scale loco on the programming track. I could not drive it far as the track is only 3'...	g_schreyer	May 27, 2009 6:19 pm
835	George, Sorry you are having problems. Unfortunately I have no direct experience with MACOS, but I hope the other replies will give you some confidence. As...	andrew_croslanduk andrew_crosl...	May 27, 2009 6:26 pm
836	These are older HO locos and draw more current than the newer stuff. I need 18 volts on the track to get reasonable speed with this stuff. Some of these...	g_schreyer	May 27, 2009 6:35 pm
837	I did a search in the manual for "flashing" and found that it just means that the power is on to the "programming" track. I did not realize that this meant...	g_schreyer	May 27, 2009 7:11 pm
838	George, I really think you need to RTFM across the board. Mark...	Mark Kasprowicz szczowicz	May 27, 2009 7:35 pm
839	Hi Andrew, ... The problem is not with the drivers supplied on the SPROG disk, however these are older than the latest drivers on the FTDI site, so if you ...	Leon van Perlo lvperlo	May 27, 2009 9:27 pm
840	Been there, done that. The info that I need isn't in the manual - gws...	g_schreyer	May 28, 2009 4:47 am
841	... No, the standard drivers will not recognise the SPROG custom PID. I'm wondering if simply supplying the .inf from the SPROG CD is sufficient when the newer...	andrew_croslanduk andrew_crosl...	May 28, 2009 8:31 am
842	That�s true, there�s not much in the way of MACOS support. But it sounds as if you�re almost there anyway apart from the limitation of the voltage. I use...	Mark Kasprowicz szczowicz	May 28, 2009 8:33 am
843	I guess that my expectations exceeded the SPROG's capability. Except for these issues, which are not the SPROG's fault, it seems to do what it is designed to...	g_schreyer	May 28, 2009 5:07 pm
844	... The SPROG will turn off the track power in response to an overcurrent situation. Unfortunately the power icon in decoderPro is not updated (I need to...	andrew_croslanduk andrew_crosl...	May 28, 2009 7:45 pm
845	Hello GWS & All Just thought I would add my money's worth. I bought my Sprog only to program with and use the JMRI software. I have a short section of...	Chris Marrable borg2657	May 28, 2009 7:54 pm
