I am confused.
I have a Bachmann DCC controller.  How do I assign decoder CV functions  to the functions on the controller?
Many CV on the decoder have a range. How do i set the  value in the Controller.

Hi KPAnTX,

Unfortunately, the E-Z Command and E-Z Command Plus controllers don't have the ability to program CVs. You will need a more advanced command station or programming software to set CV values and assign functions.

I just rediscovered the basic Dynamis system has the ability to write CV registers.  I was confused and thought I needed the Pro for that.
I have the Dynamis Pro on my workbench and a basic Dynamis on my little 4x8 layout loop.
It requires the Dynamis Pro to be able to read the CV values back.

It's too bad Dynamis can't be re-engineered with better workmanship.  The software is solid.  It looks like they made too many jumps that seemed wonderful that set it back.

Get rid of the IR interface and go with RJ-45 since we can buy that stuff cheap at Lowes.

I just discovered now that there is a 'Dynamis Ultima' system (12 years ago).  It runs off a self-contained USB serial port.  Maybe someday I will tear into the Pro box port and build a PC adapter.  Some of this interface information stuff might be out there.
I may not be good, but I'm slow.
