Thanks Yaasan,
just noticed that in the latest version of DS, the space bar in the PC keyboard is mapped as shut-off.
Great!

Hi all,

It's long time no see. I'm developing new hardware and software now!.

- Desktop Station http://desktopstation.net/play.html

I often update Desktop Station software. The latest version supports variable window size for high resolution display.
Of course, small bugs are fixed.

- Mint tin controller http://desktopstation.net/wiki/doku.php/mint_can_controller
Very small and cheap command station. this board can place to ALTOIDS tin (Candy tin).




The above url page describes to support DCC only. But internal software supports Marklin Motorola 2(MM2).
Small change is required if MM2 support.

- DSmainR5(now developing) http://desktopstation.net/wiki/doku.php/ds_smile_decoder_dsdecr3
High power booster is installed.




- Smile decoder R3 (It's not Marklin compatible decoder. It's customizable DCC decoder based on Arduino.)



This decoder supports many many features. Because the software is customizable. For example, if you connect sound amp, the decoder becomes sound decoder. The following is a Japanese train at Keikyu line which installed SIEMENS's propulsion system same as Austria's Tauras. It's not use any speaker. The melody sounds from motor. Same as the real train.



Best regards,
Yaasan

Hi wolfgang,

Is the mfx loco working fine when you control manually?
Also check the protocol. Do you typo DCC or MM2?

Hello Yaasan,
Today I have got another MFX loc from my freind for testing. But now, the new locs I have set it to MFX protocol and MM2 protocol with the second MM2 adress, these locs can not control with desktopstation. With the MS2 no problem all controls (ibclude funktio 1-12)works. On the desktop station it will happend nothing on control speed and functions. The adress is 16 first and 17 second adress. On debuging window, desktop station send for speed following :

This is a dump from desktopstation box com

Maybe this will help you

I just last week purchased from Yaasan last week the new DSmain 5.1, had it shipped here in New York, Shipped Thursday was at my door Monday. I'm excited that his original posts from 4 years ago came a long way, and that this cool tiny box is going to put my old 6036's and k83's to shame. Time to dust off all the electronics components I built back those years ago and get my turnouts powered by an Arduino Mega. So much to do!!! Turnouts clean, track laid, wiring, and firing up the trains!!

If you're still following this ...
what cable are you using to connect from the CAN shield to the Märklin control box, and where could I get such a cable?

Thanks

Hello Community,

i have a problem with Railuino and Maybe you can help. I can't find a solution in all the Posts. First of all english is not my native language. I hope you understand me. I was searching in many Forums but still got no solution.

I tried to run my maerklin model Train with Railunio. I have installed Railuino v0.9 and i get this error:

!!FF
!!init error
!!emergency stop

I have an Arduino uno and this can bus Shield: http://wiki.seeedstudio.com/CAN-BUS_Shield_V2.0/.

The can bus can communicate i tried several Sketches from Can Bus Shield and thee communication is fine. So it Looks llike the communication between can bus and Control box (60113 from maerklin) is corrupted. But i dont know why.

I connected the d Sub 9 from the can bus with a d Sub 9 cable and connect this with a Adapter https://www.amazon.de/De...id=1577876497&sr=8-8

I connected the Adapter with Control box in different ways, but no success. Control box -> Pin 8: Can Low, Pin 4: Can High, Pin 2: Ground, Pin 1: Vcc
I tried also only to connect Can H and Can L, and Can H Can L and Ground.

The d Sub 9 Adapter (OBDII Standard pinout): Pin 5: Can L, Pin 3: Can H, Pin 2: GND, Pin 9; Vcc. (Also tried only Can H and L, and also with Ground without Vcc).

But i alwas get the error shown above.

The only part in the Code where this error Comes from is:

if (!can_init(5, mLoopback)) {

Serial.println(F("!?! Init error"));

Serial.println(F("!?! Emergency stop"));

for (;;);

}

But i don't know what it means but because the can bus is ok it must be the Connection to Control box.

Is the Can Bus Shield i used not correct? Do i Need an other one? The Version of the Control box (60113) is 1.39, should be compatible.

I hope you can understand me and can help :)

Edit: The Arduino is connected via USB to a Laptop. And the can bus is just stacked on Arduino.

Thanks
Schmiddie
