Problem with Scaletrains Ditch Lights

(1/3) > >>

Pathals:
Having trouble with Scaletrains ditch lights, don't seem to have problem with Athern etc. What are the RaiPro settings to get both ditch lights to just stay on with ditch lights button? Whatever i try I get none, or just the left light on or right light on but not both. Any help is appreciated.

emd_16645:
Scaletrains sets their ditch lights up so that each individual light is on an independent wire to allow for flashing lights.  When setting up the ditch light function, you will need to choose both applicable wires to get both lights to work at the same time.

William Brillinger:
If you don't want independent control of the lights, I expect you could place both lights on the same output.

Pathals:
Seems no matter which wire combination i try still have troubles, can get right light  to stay on but not left light, hopeless at this for some reason

Not hopeless, just not experienced in all the nuances yet  :)

It's been a while since I've been through the settings for an LM but this is what you need, and I'll do it from the beginning:

* You need to download the lighting effect "On Off 1 Sec Dual Rev 2" to the LM (get it through RailPro Assistant).
* Create the button for the ditchlights (make sure it's not set to momentary action) and select the "On Off 1 Sec Dual Rev 2" as the lighting effect.
* Select the pair of appropriate outputs that are hooked up to the ditchlights.Only the "On Off 1 Sec Dual Rev 2" effect allows turning more than one output at a time on and off, and it's not (or wasn't) loaded on the LM from the factory.

If you want the ditchlights to flash then there is more to it but you said just stay on so I'm presuming you don't need them to flash.
