  Re: LDCC and Boosters
 
Ok, I think I have it fixed. Apparently, nqc doesn't like .srec files that have gaps in the memory sequence. So, I just added some zeroes in those spots to makes things copacetic... :-) I tested it with the Win32 version of nqc 2.4 a4 and it seems (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: LDCC and Boosters
 
1.04beta isn't working with nqc 2.2r1 for Linux :(. After the download completes I get a SOUND_FAST_UP then the LCD goes blank and the RCX is completely unresponsive. I have to pull the batteries to reset it. This happens with both lacc104.srec and (...) (21 years ago, 7-Jul-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) you (...) Yep, I just tried it: I fed the track power straight into the RCX 1.0 power input jack (and to the lamp brick "sensor" attached to sensor port 1). The switch motors do operate slower, probably because they're seeing something like 7V (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: LDCC and Boosters
 
(...) I was wondering if there is a DC component to the DCC signaling such that you could actually draw the power from the track to power the decoder RCXs? SteveB (21 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: DCC party? Was DCC and Boosting...
 
(...) K, tested the new firmware of Marks in 2 RCX's--one 'master', one 'slave'. Used the lamp bricks as the resistor as well. Works mighty impressive. My problem is I only have 1 AC RCX right now so the slave was running off of batteries. I can see (...) (21 years ago, 7-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains)

  Re: LDCC and Boosters
 
(...) Yes, that's correct, the decoder RCX still needs to be powered, but it doesn't have to be AC, you can use batteries since the switches aren't drawing lots of continuous power. (...) That would be great. They're not cheap, though. The ones my (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jul-03, to lugnet.trains)

  Re: LDCC and Boosters
 
This is great. I have one question. I assume that the DCC stationary decoder does need to be powdered and it can be powered by either batteries or AC/DC 9 volt adapator. Have you thought about using a soundtraxx decoder to add sound to the engines (...) (21 years ago, 4-Jul-03, to lugnet.trains)

Hi all train fanatics. I just received my first electric train: the metroliner kit (10001 + 10002) :-) I quickly scanned through the contents of the box. (I usually only buy Technic & Town) A few questions: 1) Why are the boxes black and white? (...) (21 years ago, 4-Jul-03, to lugnet.trains)
