loco problems

[eebo123]

so A=0, b=0, C=810, D=0, E=0, if I change a to where D is currently, C=100cm is this long enough, are you referring to the acceleration, deceleration values in the loco info, ie if I click on the little wdp symbol in the top right of the train label?

just going off line for 5 minutes, going to layout and have another try

i have rest the measuring track as follows:
A=FEED 71
B=FEED 72
C=FEED 67,68
D=FEED 69
E=FEED70
GOING CLOCKWISE
also when i press start i then turn speed up to full on itellibox for the loco

still not right

Hello Ian,

save and close is not enough. You have to start the calibration. You put a loco on A, select it in that calibration screen in the drop box and press Start. The loco will run several times forward and back and eventually stop. Then you click on Save.

The loco will run the calibration area with different speeds. The first one is very slow, than medium, than maximum speed if you choose the 3 point calibration. More exactly is the 15 point calibration but this takes obviously longer. You should have a look if you have a different area for the calibration. C should be between 150 and 200 cm if possible. Otherwise it will take hours!

How did you program the decoders or did you ever program the decoders?

ok measurement track C is 190cm, I have added the feedback numbers into B & D only, I put loco on A, choose the loco from the scroll down menu, then press start, the loco starts moving very very slowly, then reverses very very slowly, then med speed forward & backward, then full speed forward and back and stops then save, close.

I do not speed the loco from the intellibox, is this correct? I let the system take over however slow the loco starts?

Hello Ian,

yes, that's correct. You do it exactly as you have written.

all done working perfectly

thanks Stefan

stefan i have another problem, i have a point motor on a fleischmann 3 way point, address 1, in the track diagram mode, in test it works perfect, when i go to the main screen and change the point it changes and changes back again to the same direction, if i try and move the point manually it will not move, there is a constant current holding it to one position???

but works fine in the test screen of the track diagram???

Hello,

does it have one or two solenoids? If it has 2 then you need to give it 2 different addresses and find out which position of the solenoids switches the turnout correctly.

[eebo123]

yes I have done all this, it works perfectly in track diagram, solenoid test all ok?? when I go back to the main screen it does not work properly, I have tried different motors same problem, I have noticed that if I change the point from the Intellibox 2, the picture changes and then changes back again??

Hello,

do you just click the tournout icon in the track diagram and you get that problem or do you start a route?

[eebo123]

in  the track diagram and it does the same thing in tours, so the train is turned onto the wrong track, I am not sure if this is a WDP problem or a intellibox problem, but it is strange that it has just started happening after I have set up routes and tours?
it is strange that it works perfectly when I test the solenoids in the diagram editor??

[eebo123]

the other thing that is strange, it is only this motor on address 1, all the other 26 motors I have on the layout are ok??

Hello,

can you try a different address > 4?
