No pictures because… frustration.

I finished re-mapping all my DCC sensor boards and points and updated JMRI so that it has all the new references, and so the old references are deleted. I think I might have two or three point sensors back to front still, but I’ll work that out next time.

After a very long and frustrating evening testing LocoNet cables for faults, and LocoNet boards for faults, and making new cables, and testing those, and going round in circles… I finally worked out that my LocoNet boards are picky about the order they physically appear on the network 😡 (the DCC command station has three network ports on it, they’re all in use, and two have multiple devices connected in an essentially random order).

Yeah. Go figure. Who knows, there might be a reason. But I’m not thinking about it tonight.

#ModelRailway #LocoNet

Auf meiner #Modellbahn gehts endlich wieder weiter.
Mit neuem Licht und Elan hab ich letzte Nacht die #Stöpselbuchsen für das #Loconet in meinen Modulen des #Bahnhof #Agonitz eingebaut.

In den nächsten Tagen sollen noch die Kabel, Stecker und Kabelprüfer kommen, dann steht der Fertigstellung der Elektrik nix mehr im Weg.

Noch ein paar Bäume drehen und schon kanns grün werden in Agonitz.

It is critical that the type of RJ connectors match the type of wire it will be crimped on to. Stranded wire needs a plug meant for stranded wire.

Plus a good set of crimpers. Cheap ones often don't work well.

Have fun with your DCC #ModelRailway .

Multiple Unit Consisting isn't that complicated, is it?
