Fishmanoz Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 As you know Rob, we are just in the process of having many new HST digital owners running their new locos. The idea that they might need to pull apart at least the dummy car to put the decoder in a tester, or pull apart both and swap the decoders for programming, is not going to be popular to say the least. Then if the same problems persist once the consist problem is solved, there is going to be an outcry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rog RJ Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Put the dummy car & the powered car on the programming track at the same time, do the programming for the dummy car then remove it from the programming track and program the powered car alone. No swapping of decoders or decoder tester needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterM67 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 This is a HM7000 equipped dummy power car being managed by the App. I'm not sure why a programming track would be required as that would imply a traditional DCC solution? I was able to install HM7000 decoders into my power car and dummy power car for a TT120 exec livery HST and had no issues installing both decoders via the android app. When installing the power or dummy power car would have been the only device on the track and I force stopped the app before each installation for the link to work correctly. I therefore don't believe there will be any issues specifically relating to dummy power cars if using the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Programming OTA from the app doesn't need a load, nor should there be any need to pull a decoder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin-369195 Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 Thanks @PeterM67, Just to add I put both cars on my layout before linking both devices and that worked without any issues. My problems started the following morning... Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin-369195 Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 I've got them both working! The issue with the power car was a bug in the Android app. If I tried to load the profile from Locomotive Settings and choosing the profile then Install Locomotive Profile Import Running Profile Import Function Map I can only select Import Function Map. However, if I go to Settings > Profile, choose the profile, then the locomotive then all three options are available Install Locomotive Profile Import Running Profile Import Function Map I installed the Locomotive profile, linked the dummy car and presto! And yes, @96RAF it's a known bug . I found it the hard way! According to HM Customer Care it'll be fixed next week. Thanks for your help everyone, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin-369195 Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 You did. I just didn't understand the difference as I'm still getting familiar with the app. Thanks for your perseverance. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Just to clarify, this known bug also affects the iOS version of the app too; far anyone reading this far 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Noted RM. And not before time as I now have my digital HST sitting on the track and hopefully some time to play over Easter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
