E-link direction lights.

[alan_french]

Ok.  Trying to get direction lights to work using hornby e- link

The loco's are dcc ready fitted with 6 pin decoders.  Lights work fine on all other dcc controlers.

But 1  is a dapol & 1 is a graham farrish.

So read all the pdf instructions about programming non hornby loco's.

Just can't get my head round changing micro in drop down box  when I go into loco set up.

Any help guys    Alan.

When you say micro, Alan, do you mean macro? If so, you don't generally need to bother with them. If you know the number of your directional lights function, just put something like "dir.lights on/off" against it on the setup screen. The "on/off" part is necessary with all lights generally.

Directional lighting is a standard function on DCC loco decoders and is F0. Also, it is better to think of your controller being RM rather then eLink which just an interface generating the DCC signal according to instructions from RM. 

So as pointed out by Graskie, all you need to do is make F0 an on/off function so that you can switch your lights on and off and they will be directional. You could call them carrots on/off if you wish and you will find there is a red carrot at the back of your loco and a white one at the front (no matter which direction your loco is going).
