bigbonce Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I am seeking further help regarding the addressing of the early hornby decoders r8216 using the prodigy controller. I was referred to flash bangs thread on this subject in which reference is made to charging the decoder on the main track for approximate 20seconds then after that to connect to the program terminals on the prodigy advance controller and follow the instructions in the Manual. I do not appear to have had a great success in this regard and failed to address. The prodigy makes reference to using specific value 513 which seems perhaps to apply to most accessory decoders but I do not know the what this cv value refers to. The manufacturer implies that there may be some difficulty in addressing these old decoders and suggested using a select to carry out the addressing without the need to buy what will be a number of new decoders. Does anybody have any thoughts on this and thanks in advance for any info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poliss Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 The 513 is not the value but the actual CV itself, CV513. See https://www.hornby.com/profile/1055491/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashbang Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Hi To use the PA2 to programme a Hornby PAD (Accessory decoder see the PA2 manual page 17. Connect the decoder to the Programming track output. The manual states .... PROGRAMMING ACCESSORY DECODERS WITH CV #513 1. Press PROG until you reach “Prog Prog Track” 2. Press ENTER until “CV #” displays 3. Enter 513. Press ENTER. 4. Enter the Accessory Decoder address. Press ENTER. Read your Accessory Decoder instructions for proper addressing. Note: The decoders address would normally start at 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
