If your Command Station has the option to select the DCC output voltage, set it to the desired value and from there on never change it again.The steps to take to profile an engine with an external speed measurement device are: And so on.ĭespite the operator interaction, measuring a complete speed profile this way takes far less time than it would otherwise, because the device performs the measurements with high accuracy over just a very short distance. We now press START again to start the next measurement. When done, we press STOP and TC shows a field where we can enter the measured value. Our device performs the speed measurement while the train passes by.

When we press START the engine starts to run with a speed and direction set by TC. Well … that ‘third party’ … that’s us! With our brand new built Arduino speed measurement device described in part 1 and 2. Traincontroller 9 has a semi-automated speed profiling option for use with a ‘third party device’. Part 3: Speed profiling an engine in Traincontroller 9 with an external device I hope this information will be valuable to future users.This is part 3 of 3 on a € 6,- DIY model train speed measurement device. This will depend on the board ID as laid out on page 8 of the BXP88 instruction manual. In the address field, enter the detection section number of your BXP99 for that block. There is a drop-down under DIGITAL SYASTEM which if you selected LocoNet when you set up TC, will give you a choice of several LocoNet connections. This turns the block pink which you must double-click again to access the CONNECTION tab.

In EDIT mode, you double-click on the block, select BLOCK EDITOR, click on the yellow dot (NEW CONTACT INDICATOR). 'I would like to inform you that the BXP88 works with Traincontroller Gold. OpSw9 = Closed (No message sent if un-powered) OpSw36 = Closed (Ignore GPON) OpSw37 = Closed (Long delays for sensors) OpSw38 = Closed (Extra long delay for sensors) OpSw39 = Closed (Verbose mode enabled) OpSw43 = Closed (Filter for transponding disabled) OpSw45 = Closed (Don't send Transponding messages at GPOFF)Ĭonfigure Traincontroller Gold for use with BXP88 Suggested BDL168 Settings for Railroad & Co. Our recommendations are based upon experience with earlier versions of the program: The BDL168 needs to have several Option Switches changed for proper operation with Railroad & Co.'s Train Controller program. is a suite of computer programs for both digitally and conventionally controlled model railroads.
