What would you like to see RE produce in the future.
Gibs:
Well Tim, if 14 functions is now a thing, heck why don't we round it off to 20 :)
Still would like there to be at least 2 that are of a dual type as stated before.
As to my WM-1S idea, I think you miss interpreted the concept just a wee bit (I may be wrong here to btw). Its meant to mount into/under a wagon/car of choice like a LM is into a Loco, not the AM that we have now which sits on the side of the track under a building or the base boards. So yes it be a cheaper LM (no motor control) I hope that controls just sounds (random selectable) and light outputs. Don't get me wrong I think the AM is a bloody great idea for where its used, just need a version of some type for rolling stock.
Do you have anything you'd like to see in the future as well Tim?

20 would be awesome but there's not enough pins on a 21 pin decoder for that ;)

Nope, I know exactly what you want in the WM, what I'm saying is we almost have that now. The LM can be loaded with an Accessory Module program which turns it into a mobile accessory module. You can put it in a car or wagon (or guards van/caboose) and control lights and sounds in it. What it can't do now is do random sounds but that would just be a new version of the program to make that happen. Now using an LM as a mobile accessory module for just lights and sounds is an expensive proposition which is why we'd like a version without motor control but as I said I wonder how much cheaper a non motor version would actually be.

- User creatable prime mover sounds
- 21 pin LM with more outputs (I wish PLuX22 would take off, it's so much better than 21MTC)
- Cheaper just lights / just lights and sounds mobile accessory module
- Selling the PWR-56 without the expensive laptop power supply included
- A just plain repeater
- An apology from Tim Ring ::)
- Tim
Gibs:
Nice list Matey.
I thought we could do our own sound files, or do I have that wrong?
Who needs 21 pins, HARD wire it Man! LOL
Seriously though, matching more "decoder" connectors, all the better I say, although I have yet to see a PluX22, what makes that type shine?
Glad you cleared the WM idea up for me, it was just me getting the LM and AM mixed up in your earlier reply I think. Its why I came up with the WM tag, help keep the idea separate from others basically.
The no nonsense repeater idea, it would appear to be quite a favorite so far.
Apology ? Did I miss something or is this one on a personal level?
G8B4Life:
Yes, we can create our own sound files except prime movers, they must still be done by Ring.
Who needs 21 pins? just about everyone. If Ring is going to stay in the game then he has to look seriously at this, just about everything these days comes ready for a 21 pin decoder. Hardwire? Yes I pretty much have to because everything I have either has an antiquated 8 pin or a 21 pin socket (nothing I own came with the 9 pin which pretty much skipped Australian models) but that doesn't mean I want to or have to like it.
PLuX22 is a newer layout similar or 21 MTC. Because the blanking pin is in the center it allows subsets (8, 16, 22 pins) to be used. https://dccwiki.com/PluX_Interface.

Yes, you did miss it (you weren't a member here way back then) and yes, it's on a personal level though everyone who was a member here back then knows about it (it's no secret what it's about). I'm not going to say though, I meant to put a cheeky emoticon next to it as a tongue in cheek list item so if your interest is now that piqued you'll have to use some zen and search this forum (hint: it's about his software and his server) or maybe someone else will pipe up with it; or if you really really really want to know that badly I'll PM it to you.
