Railmaster SC1 issues

[robhst]

Hi, I'm not sure if its the Railmaster software I'm having issues with or the decoder.

I can't get the eLink decoder to read the CVs of the SC1 at all. It just says no response from the decoder. I know railmaster doesn't support the SC1 as yet but I was under the impression from another thread the Lenz100 can be selected instead.

I've tried it with and without the program jumper applied.

In the instructions it says that it is configured to work with 4 2-aspect signals out of the box but only A+B give me the desired behaviour of the signal, when other signals are connected on C+D it just flashes a bulb and the goes off and stays off. 

As I said it may be the eLink/railmaster but thought I'd ask if I can get any pointers here.

Also, when adding other signals are each of their common cathode wires connected to the k terminal?

Thanks for your time.

Hi Rob

The SC1 should be readable. It sounds like CV4 has a non zero value. If you want the default behaviour you should try an write 8 to CV8 and try again.

If the signals are common cathode then all of the cathode wires should go to the 'k' terminal.
