Welcome to the group, you will find there are very helpful members here.
I am one of the cannon-cockers referred to by Kevin, 8” SP howitzers. Retired from the Army in 1990.
Once you digest the basics, Railpro becomes pretty simple and is so capable one wonders why anyone stays with DCC.
Read through the posts, they contain much valuable information.
Please sign your name so we get acquainted with you.
Enjoy.

Those guys are always shooting off something ! They just like to make LOUD noise. I was in weather research for most of my 21 years in the military but was in charge of a Metro Section in Korea & the Nam. All long ago. TOF in Yuma..

Most questions should be asked in a new post under the RailPro Discussion & Help section.

Pleasure to make your aquantiance, even if you were in the Army. :P
I’m just kidding, although i am pleased to meet you. I am not an infantry man, i have a lot of respect for those that do things like you have.
I think i have begun to grasp the general concepts and ideas. I definitely like the way you don’t have to adjust CV’s at all. Although i have been starting to get really good at speed matching the club’s engines via CV changes. I still am unsure as to how the adjustments, or lack there of on the RailPro equipped engines translate to DCC controlled engines. The RailPro speed knob is in percents, from 0% to 100% (i think) but the DCC is in either 28 or 128 speed steps... how does it determine what speeds will be each speed step? (If that question needs to go else where I can ask it again there)

Thank your for your service. I’m not a fan of loud noises. Harriers are the worst. They are so loud and annoying, I’m glad i do not work on them. What does TOF stand for?

RP is 0.1% increments = 1000 speed steps. It is a percentage of the respective loco's top speed as set in the Advanced Loco Setup.
DCC uses 128 speed steps because 128 is a magic number that works well with digital registers ie. hardware is the reason for 128. RP modules are microprocessors in and of themselves and are software driven so command format is not constrained to the physical digital architecture. This fact is what really sets RP apart from DCC. RP is true microprocessor communicating with microprocessor - configurable software on both ends.
