Well done! and THANKS!

I tried Sunday night to use lacc as both a decoder and booster, but I didn't have
a proper "sensor" (couldn't find my second 9v light), and none of my jury-rigged
versions did the trick. I'll pick up some resistors and build a proper
acknowledgment sensor, then I'll get back to testing.

A question: When I press, for example, P1 on the remote, what DCC command is the
LDCC sending? If my base address on lacc is address 1, then I assume it sends a
message to the decoder at address 1. I'm guessing that it contains a comnand to
set a CV to a specific value (because I don't know enough about DCC to know of
any other way). How close am I?
