25 locomotive selections is still under BETA testing and public with next update.

Still waiting for Adroid app

Hi Johny
The changelog on the new version is in German at the end of my note.
By first testing the key changes seem to be:
- on memory track routes: added possibility to trigger a route only when a second condition is met (e.g.: normal trigger by entry1 ON or OFF, subjected to a condition ENTRY 2 ON or OFF. This is interesting because it allows the same track contact to trigger different routes depending on another entry.
- on symbols for locos function a small number of additional icons
- it is claimed that a double slip switch (DKW) can be rotated 4 times instead of 2: I didn't found that one
Note: loco selection screen is still 30 locos with a blue background (seems no change there)
Cheers from Paris
Jean

I do not understand on which device did you install MdecoderTool : PC or CS2 ?

What was the "big" improvements with this update after a year?

Now with the new update 2.2.0. / 2/10 you can make your own noises in combination with the mDT-tool. See Märklin homepage under decoder updates.
You can also make cv-registering in the new tool and after that you send the software over the CS2 to the loc.

Yes I think they will also make new semaphores und maybe new decoders for switching. May be also a new system for the S-88 decoder ????

Hello!

To get the blocks in the Train Controller to work with 2.2.0 (1) I have come to do the following:

_______________________

Now when you have had time to play this weekend, I have become more thoughtful, why it is not able to translate and then at least into English

Hello.

I have found a jpg picture un Internet. With Adobe Photoshop I converted it to 128X48 pixel and 72 pix/inches resolution, colour indexed, png format.

I hope you like it.

Here it is. It is showed at low quality but when you upload this file to your CS2 you can see it well.

The only thing I do to upload icons is the following:

1. I use a blank usb pendrive
2. I make a folder named icons
3. I copy the png image to the folder icons
4. I put the pendrive in the usb port of CS2
5. In the SETUP menu>>>CS2 I select USB stick
6. I press the update program option
7. Then CS2 reset and start the upgrade
8. The message I recieve is "update successful"

My CS2 is 60124, HW 4,33 software 2.0.1

If your CS2 is still showing the unsuccessful message then it is possible your software has a bug. You can download the cs2update.tgz file (it is the 2.0.1 version from january ) from maerklin.de and make a new update with this software version

Try to do this. Maybe your problem could be corrected.

Happy new year

It will be update to 2.5 before 'mfx plus' locos will delivery.

Did you create an 'Icons' directory in the root of your USB memory stick, and place the .png files in that directory?

Other than that, try another USB stick. The USB stick should be formatted as FAT32, and be at least 1Gb in size.

Thanks for the icon in the directory. That solved my update problem.

Pat

I have the app installed in my IPOD 4th generation (IOS 6.0.1). It works perfectly. When I start the app it scan the network for a CS2, and a after few seconds my CS2 is found. Then I can play trains with the IPOD.


See this document:

http://www.marklin.com/p...letter_2_11_Vol_23.2.pdf


Kind regards

Thanks Stephen!

Do we know when the Android app is due to be released?

Hi Steven
That is excellent news. Thank you. I was figuring that kind of date since the first MFX+ loco is due in February 2013
For me it is not so much for the gaming with consumables (Coal, Diesel, etc) but for additional fixes like the the screen lock on the LAYOUT screen.
Cheers
Jean

The Br218 with mfx+ is due this month, January.

I don't see why not, as the connections are just tcpip connections, via wifi. The CS should treat any contention over loco control the same as it would between a CS and MS.

The connections are actually UDP not TCP for this interface.

Not that it's critical to the discussion, but UDP is not a part of TCP.

Both UDP and TCP can sit atop IP, but they are different protocols all together. TCP is connection based, UDP is connectionless. Marklin implemented a CAN over UDP protocol for their CS2 interface. With UDP you're basically broadcasting messages and hoping they make it. There's no guarantee of delivery.

No, but it IS part of the Internet Protocol suite, which is the point I was trying to make. When I made my initial comment I was referring to the Internet Protocol in the generic sense, even though pedantically speaking I should not have referred to it as 'tcpip'. But I did, so there you are!

WOW!!! That's great, thanks Stephen!

Btw, to upgrade to v3.0, do I need to upgrade to v2.5 first, or can I jump directly to v3.0?

BR,
Sony

Hi Stephen,

Sorry, I mean v2.2 (update on November/December last year).
My CS2 version is before that update. Can I directly upgrade to v3.0?
Also, could you please provide the link?

from maerklin.de, I see 4 files, but I don't know which one.

» cs2update.tgz (5.694,83 kb)
» cs2update_V1.4.0.tgz (7.106,86 kb)
» cs2update_V1.6.4.tgz (18.308,18 kb)
» cs2update_gfp1.36.tgz (17,38 kb)

Thanks again.

BR,
Sony
