Title: EZ-Decoder in Peter Witt Streetcar
Post by: tractionfan on November 15, 2008, 11:01:49 AM
Does the decoder included in the Peter Witt Streetcar provide CV readbacks?  I can't get a response from several different "CV Reading" facilities, eg, JMRI, Zepher, etc.  (My setups are correct... substituting another decoder (Digitrax) reads fine.

Workaround required for CV read and programming a non-sound Bachmann decoder using a Digitrax Zephyr.

Workaround --- Place a 1000 Ohm, ΒΌ Watt resistor across the programming track. Remove the resistor after you finish programming the Bachmann decoder.
