Paul-1213410 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I have purchased a Black 5 with TTS, but the only thing the chip will do is respond to commands on address 3. I cannot read the existing setting, and I cannot write any setting, plus there is no sound.So I could still use it to simply run the loco on address 3, but that's not good. Can it be re-flashed, or do I stick it in the bin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rog RJ Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Have you tried resetting it by sending a value of 8 to CV 8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-1213410 Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 Have you tried resetting it by sending a value of 8 to CV 8? I have, I use JMRI Decoder Pro and I have tried just writing the single command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jane1707819582 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Some tts decoders had an issue where you turn the loco round to face the opposite way.You can try this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Given you may have just purchased it the obvious thing to do is invoke the TTS warranty by calling Hornby Customer Care and let them know about your problem.Sometimes a decoder will respond if programmed in Reg Mode (register mode - google it to find the list of 8 registers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 You don't say whether you bought this Black 5 new or secondhand. I know it is a long shot but if you bought it second hand check to see if someone has added a Stay Alive circuit to it. Seems very weird, I have had other makes not accept the reset command but TTS is usually pretty reliable. Sometimes though, you have to do it twice.
