The behaviour can not be reproduced, hence no bug. Probably cleaning out all the pre_move data has removed something that slipped into the plan file during manual editing and copying.

8 port DCC servo decoder

Hi Rocrailers,
I successfully build this servodecoder. With DDX/ORD-1 it works very reliable.
With the new firmware Version 4 ( http://www.wedis-basteleck.de/41002.html ) the short move issue is now ok.
With conrad ES-05 servos only very short moves happened. To eliminate this I put a (MLCC) ceramic capacitor with 100nF between positive(red) and signal(white) of each servo. Now everything works fine.

Best regards,
Volker

1.3 Rev 600 SprogII turnout feedback poweroff

ViktorHotel — 03.07.2009, 17:49

Hi Rob,
I have again a little bit trouble with SprogII.
My configuration:
One turnout "W1" (Hardware: wedis servodecoder) with feedback sensor S25. I use the output-switches of the servodecoder for turnout feedback.
S25 switches to 1 when turnout W1 switches to turnout
the problem:
W1 is in turnout position (S25=1)-> after poweroff/shortcut and then poweron S25 changes to 0 -> Rocrail reports wrong turnout position
With DDX/Ord-1 there is no problem, S25=1 after poweroff/shortcut and then poweron.

I don't know if this is a problem of the sprogII. Maybe after Poweron something happens.

Attachment: Traces, Planfile,inis
The traces shows the switching of W1 with DDX and with SprogII.

Best regards,
Volker

another test with SprogII:

1) Poweroff SprogII
2) cut the dcc-signal to the servodecoder
3) Poweron SprogII
4) undo the cut of the dcc signal-signal
-> the S25 remains 1 !

Poweroff with "ESC" instead "-" or both ?

Upon pressing a white exit button, that button turns green. If there is only one possible route from the pressed entry to the pressed exit, all other exit buttons turn black again, the route is set and, when appropriate, signal(s) are set to green.
However, when there is more then one way from entry to exit, the pressed exit button turns green, all other exit buttons, except those in the possible routes, turn black again whilst those in the possible routes remain white (picture 3, compare that to picture 2 and you see that those exit buttons that are not in any route between the two green buttons have turned black in picture 3). From the remaining whites I then select a route, that exit button also turns green, the others go black, the route and signals are set and presto, picture 4.

Although I do not use (a lot of) occupancy detection, it is simple to implement the state of a feedback into the action controls that regulate the activation (turning white) of the exit buttons, so that when a track is occupied, the exit button in that track will not activate.

Setting up all the actions and action controls was a lot of work, my way to do is is to set up one through Rocview and do other ones that are similar by manually editing the plan file using copy paste, since very often only one condition is different.

Happy Rocrailing everybody, Ronald

one more Alternative Relais for FEME VMA00112

Hallo together,

I just started to collect all components for an ORD-1. It was quite difficult to find the relais. The only supplyer I found is http://www.elfaelectronics.com.ua from the Ukraine. They offer the Relais for about 3,50� (without shipping).
Because i doesn't like to order in ukraine, i looked for an alternative.
During my recherch i found some more Users with the same Problem, that they couldn't find supplyers for the Relais FEME VMA00112.

Now i found a similar Relais by Conrad Electronic. It's called 851H-1C-S 12 from Song Chuhan. It seemed to have the same pin warrant. The only difference is the larger strem (7A instead of 5A).
Here is the Link to Conrad-shop: http://www.conrad.de/goto.php?artikel=503990

best wishes to all developers
Vincent
