problem with uncoupler

[andel1]

hi all

new problem today, Iv'e fitted an uncoupler to my layout opperated by a wee surface mounted point motor which in turn is connectected to a hornby decoder,  Iv'e also put the said coupler onto my track plan and programed the decoder, now when I click on the test button of the program pannel everything works but when I click on the track plan nothing happens so what am I doing wrong ?????

regards

Hi Andrew, Have you tried setting it up as a point to test that the motor (solinoids) work first?

As the test function works, it would seem that you have set it up correctly.  You have then exited from Design Mode to try to operate it though?

 

Assuming you have, close down and restart RM, attempt to operate it from your layout, then go into the Help window and send an email to HRMS from there and report the problem to them.  You should get an immediate auto acknowledgement and they should then be back to you in a day or two.

 

It's important to do it in the order I've said as the email to them will contain a file which reports to them exactly what you did so they can see where it might have gone wrong.

Found my problem,  stupid me forgot to allocate the port number to the uncoupler on the design track,  idiot

No andel1 you may have made an ID 10 T error but unless you deliberately went and did the opposite of something you were shown or told you're not an idiot. You have merely had an opportunity to learn.
