Re: DDW-DDL-ML Problem with SRCP



Hi Andrea,

 

The only programming options that DDW supports, issued through the normal digital signals. This means, an if you like, baud rate of 38K4. There is now way to change that, because there is now need for it.

 

I believe Prolok uses an different way to program the decoders. However, if that works well, why not use it? When using Prolok, you don?t need DDW and when you are running your trains you don?t need prolok.

 

If, after programming with Prolok, the train doesn?t run well with DDW, this is most likely caused by the decoder how does not like the DDW signals. Something, there is now solution for.

 

What I still don?t understand, how you want to program the decoders with DDW?? Witch program do you use, that uses DDW to establish a programming sequence?

 

Fred

Dear Fred,

I use a homemade system that is present on the dccworld web site.

 

This is the link to the booster that I use with the ddw server.

http://www.dccworld.it/index.php?page=dccpratico/progetti/zdcc_booster.html

 

The booster is connected to the PC with the ACK Detector (serial port rs232).

Please find here further information or better for you figures (sorry, but the site is in Italian language)

 

This is the link to the ACK Detector, that allow you to connect the serial port to the booster.

http://www.dccworld.it/index.php?page=dccpratico/progetti/srcp_collegamenti.html

 

I use 2 different systems as software:

1.                  Ddw server with rre, railprog or  emu for marklin and traincontroller (prefered).

2.                  only to program: prolok

 

The system works good with Uhlenbrock loco decoder and tam electronic switch decoder, but only prolok works with this fleischmann decoder (prolok works only with the 16457 bps option on, otherwise the loco doesn?t make the short movement).

 

The loco doesn?t respond when I use ddw server, in the whole configuration (railprog or traincontroller).

I ask you for the 16457 bps because I?m  able to program the fleischmann decoder only with this option on.

I hope that the system that I use is now more clear for you.

I?m awaiting to receive some tips.

Thank in advance,

Andrea

Dear Andrea,

 

I believe you are trying to do something impossible.

There is no reason to change any baud rates with DDW.

I guess you try to connect something with the serial port of your PC and than run DDW to control it??

That?s not the way things are done.

I really would like to help you, but I need more information to understand what exactly you are trying to do.

 

Fred

Dear Fred,

I tried it already. I think it?s strange that nobody used ddw server with a Fleischmann decoder. Have you some experiences or positive feedback?

Which baud rate does server use? Is it possible to change it to 16457 bps?

Thanks a lot,

andrea

See my previous reaction.

Your decoder is a twin decoder (DCC/FMZ). Perhaps this decoder is not very pleased with the DDW signals (DCC/MM).

You could try if it helps any, if you disable the MM signals in the DDW-server.

If that doesn?t solve the problem, I have no further ideas, except the one I already gave, the decoder does not respond to DDW signals at all.

I tried to program the decoder:

with prolok with the baud rate setting to 16457 bps there is no problems, but with the ddw server and railprog the decoder doesn?t respond. I found out that the decoder is fleischmann 6839 twin.

Could someone give me a solution/tip?

Thanks,

andrea

I tried with different translations, but nothing it happens.

I wait further tips.

Hi Andrea,

 

DDW is only for 99% compatible with all kind of decoders. The 1% that do not work, are caused by the fact that the PC?s serial port is not able to correctly produce the digital signal as should be. 99% of the decoders on the market have enough tolerance to cope with this.

Although I don?t have any experience with the Digitrax brand, I strongly believe the belong in the 1% group that don?t work.

Have you tried al 3 possible NMRA translations in the DDW server? Could be that one of them solves the problem.

 

Hope I could help out somehow.

 

Regards,

Fred Stevens, Netherlands.

Hallo,

I?m a Italian guy. I?m using the srcp server and I?ve a problem with a digitrax(?) decoder. I explain you better:

Two loco with Uhlenbrock decoder work without problem;

The switch decoder work without problem;

I bought a new loco with digitrax decoder and it doesn?t work.

I tried with locomaus and with lokboss and it works in right way.

I don?t understand why this loco doesn?t work with srcp server.

Have you experience with this brand?

Thanks in advance,

Andrea
