Follow up for John C.Pulled the decoder from loco- double checked all wiring and found no errors nor shorts.Soldered jumpers to the decoder and hooked up to my decoder tester.Was able to program- no problems. The only difference between the loco and the decoder tester would be the motor.So for now all is well.Tomorrow, I will install said decoder into the loco- let you know how that works out.
Um, you did that by saying that you hate ESU but like Tsunamis. Liking one and disliking another sounds to me like a comparison. But whatever. . .
Peteski, if you read my first post- I did not say I hated ESU ‘s I said I dislike them, then tried to explain why. There a BIG difference of hate and dislike!I did not even note a Tsunami, YOU did.I also explained to you why I was working with this decoder.I do respect your knowledge, but your post did not address the problem I was having.I did look at your link you noted, but have yet to understand all that was covered?
Well one thing for sure is that there was not a problem with the sound file, nor the version that the LP is running on my lap-top.I had a hard time understanding why my Power Cap set the address and operated the loco? But I could not program, with the LP?Maybe it is a power thing, the Cab using more power in the program mode, the LP puts out less?Would there be a way to measure the difference?AND yes share the information with all interested.And yes I do prefer to work with the Tsunami’s over the ESU. Mostly be cause of the time it takes to program them.
Someone on MRH was having the same issue with an installed Select and v5.0.10 of the programmer software. When I suggested using 4.7.2, they had no troubles loading software into decoder. Clearly, the newer versions of the software are more susceptible to issues in the connections.
