QUOTE (upnick @ 31 Oct 2008, 03:19) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hi All,
In my locos i have several manufacturers models of decoder which is ifne if you've fitted them personally, one loco came from a recent purchase with front headlight and cab roof beacon which flashes but only in reverse.
I know it was chipped in America from the buyer, on the programme track i get a reading of manufacturer 129 and 36 for the decoder version, is there a table to give the decoder version numbers ? i already have one for manufacturers ......... this would help if there is such a thing to look up the decoder manual.
Many thanks.
The meaning of the decoder version is manufacturer specific. Some manufacturerswill use the same version in different decoders where they are closely related and share the same firmware (e.g. just a different number of function outputs or differnt physical shape). There's a useful table at http://jmri.sourceforge.net/xml/XSLT/pages/DecoderId.html which is generated from the DecoderPro definition files and will narrow down the possible decoder types.
