As I've built my little hopefully, exhibition layout using the EZ-commands, I thought it would be a good idea to be able to program all of the CV's
I've been looking at joining Merg for some time now and when I saw this stand alone programmer kit thought it was the perfect time to go for it.
Yes I have the NCE PowerCab so I could have just bought an extra PCP (powercab powerpanel) and just switched over to using that, but I wanted a completely separate system and anyway where's the fun in doing that?
So for any of you who have an EZ-command, the Dyanmis or the Hornby Select, this could be very useful.
It will program Loco and accessory decoders, so if you have the Dynamis and not bothered about going for Pro-Box, the Select or the EZ-command but would like to be able to program decoders on a program track or just have the ability to read back CV settings this could be just the thing.
The kit is £45 and includes everything apart from a mains plug and the 3 core mains cable.
It arrived today, only sent the cheque and order form off on Monday!
It arrives in a jiffy bag containing these two items:-
I will post more pics as I go along with the build.
I think I'm going to replace the standard box with a bigger one to which I can glue to lengths of track 1) N-gauge and 2) OO-gauge.
This will then be a complete self contained unit that I can put a loco on and program it, perfect.
The current is limited to 250Mamps so no chance of destroying the decoder.
Any questions just ask and I will try my best to answer them.
My electronics isn't particularly good, forgotten most of it from my HND in Mechatronics, but I can ask one of the other members if required.
Mr MOD, is it ok to put this in here or 'in my workbench'?
PS it may take a while as I'm off sick at the minute as my back is destroyed and I can't actually walk.....not good crawling around the house!
Hopefully the mountain of tablets I have, should start to easy the pain soon, not been prescribed Diazepam before though!
Cheers
