Chrissaf Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Helloi have an Elite 1.44 firmware. No issues programming any locos fitted with hornby chips, ez 21 pin chip or Bachmann 8 pin chip. However it will not address a gaugemaster dcc27 Omni loco decoder (21 pin)i have two decoders so I know it’s not a faulty decoder. Weird thing is my select controller will programme it. Ie changed the address etc. ive Been using direct mode, checked the connections and as I say no issues with other locos I’m stumped any ideas.

96RAF Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 As the Select programs at full track potential as opposed to the low power put out by the Elite PROG you may also like to try changing CV in Elite OPS mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthtrainspotter Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Thanks for replies it’s all very complex I see from the previous thread I can just program cv1 I take it that’s page 36 of the manual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Using the Elite menus after you have selected the programming mode it will show address, spin the dial until you see CV, click that and enter 1 (to pick CV1) click again and enter the new address value. Click again to set that new address and then ESC out of it per normal procedure. CV1 is where the short address is stored. If you want to use a long address, say the can number of your loco that is stored elsewhwere and we need to explain theat to you in more detail.

96RAF Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 It just occurred to me that in the DCC29 thread I confirmed that GM DCC27 was amongst the decoders listed in RM force pull down list.As RM works with Elite as well as eLink it seems logical that Hornby has test proven this decoder variant with their kit.
