Why have the TTS profiles been listed in the HM-DCC App?

[Pendragon Sailing]

I note that the sound profiles listed in the HM-DCC App now include a large number of the old TTS profiles. Does this mean they have been adapted for use in HM7000 decoders?

Is it perhaps related to the now availability of the legacy Dongle?

Yes - see here . . .

Exactly what BrewMan says. 

The dongle is now available to buy  so users will soon be happily loading the app with their non TXS equipped locos. Each of them with their own unique functions.

When setting up a TXS decoder,you will see that it loads both a sound and a function profile. It is the latter that sets up the function buttons on screen. When controlling a non TXS decoder via the App and dongle a function map needs to be imported to populated the function page.

Hornby have now provided those function maps for their TTS decoders so users can add the correct function buttons in one step rather than have to create function profiles from scratch.

Good to know, thanks. It's good we have the freedom in the App to effectively create our own function maps for "unknown" decoders.
