I had to program it first to 4 digit number then reprogram it to a 2 digit Fri, 10 Jul 2009 03:33:55 GMT csxrobert http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ndcc/message/22537 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ndcc/message/22537 ... I guess you're not looking to hard.  Here are a few of the topics discussed on the NCE-DCC list over the past few days: "Macro not operating" "Power Cab Fri, 10 Jul 2009 01:28:31 GMT saccajoseph http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ndcc/message/22536 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ndcc/message/22536 Hello to the group, I have tried to find information on how to program the light decoders in the unpowered Acela cars. I can program the powered car fine.

Why doesn't this list rename itself to ndcc-digitrax, or get the Digitrax people to join the Digitrax groups for their Thu, 09 Jul 2009 22:29:21 GMT Phil Agur http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ndcc/message/22534 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ndcc/message/22534 Yep pretty much. Designed by a committee of electrical hobbyist, restricted by backward compatibility so long all that's left is backward, and still targeting Thu, 09 Jul 2009 20:43:14 GMT Freddie Bell http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ndcc/message/22533 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ndcc/message/22533 ... Just like it used to on DC :-) As for the BEMF messing with the LED, well, the DC loco's all came with the LED wired to the motor didn't they? As long as Thu, 09 Jul 2009 20:38:05 GMT Robert Myers http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ndcc/message/22532 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ndcc/message/22532 ... Hmm. First, since the motor power is pwm and will vary, the brightness of the headlamp will vary. Second, LEDs (particularly white ones) can be sensitive Thu, 09 Jul 2009 19:23:35 GMT John Wood http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ndcc/message/22531 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ndcc/message/22531 It seems (at first blush anyway) that the CV 29 solution is the one. Here's what TCS Tech Support have sent me in reply to my Forward to them of the original Thu, 09 Jul 2009 14:42:47 GMT datalasse http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ndcc/message/22530 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ndcc/message/22530 Hi. I think the main reason the NMRA DCC is what it is comes from the fact that it's based on a system developped by Lenz. It was then altered some to better Thu, 09 Jul 2009 14:16:17 GMT David Eaton` http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ndcc/message/22529 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ndcc/message/22529 John, Your premise is right on. I can not understand why the NMRA went the way they did. Obviously, they had some technical guidance, but from what I could Thu, 09 Jul 2009 12:48:08 GMT George Hollwedel http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ndcc/message/22528 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ndcc/message/22528 No reason except that you still have that totally crappy Kato MARS light.

In my opinion there would be no reason why you couldn't or shouldn't do this.

I don't recall seeing many of the SAME Thu, 09 Jul 2009 10:11:41 GMT datalasse http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ndcc/message/22524 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ndcc/message/22524 Hi.
