Cannot load sound files from HC-2b to LM-3S

<< < (2/7) > >>

nodcc4me:
Ken, yes the files are very slow to load. Have you tried moving the second locomotive a few feet just to verify that this is the cause? I have not had that experience. You should be able to copy files no matter where the locomotives are.

William Brillinger:
I have also experienced the connection lost issue randomly with the larger ULT files. I never thought to move the locos apart when this has happened, and come to think of it, this has probably only been an issue when I am programming in pairs.

I will have to try that.

Sadly I have a RailPro system coming back to me because of this issue too. I'm going to follow up with Ring Engineering on this.

robert.h.giffin:
FYI, I tried both, having both locomotives on the track and also with only one.  Still had the issue so doubtful this is the answer.  The files are just WAY large.  I note that when downloading them from the server they come in two parts (or it does it twice), so there is a three part process.  1) download from the server to the Assistant; download from the Assistant to the controller, twice (or two files or a UDP file transfer being done again to recover bad packets), 3) download to the locomotive (only success was the GE 7FDL16 file, ULT file always failed and the last time I tried it it caused the decoder to go a bit kaddywompus - never did figure out what happened).  When you get my one working decoder back you should look at it.

William Brillinger:
Robert,

Tim Ring suggested in an email today that he is confident he could have helped you overcome the issues you were having. If you still have your product, I would encourage you to followup with him and see if you can get this working for you. Failing that, I will have my first return.

Again, I'm sorry you had such a tough go of it.

All the best!

Alan:
I wonder if it is possible for Ring to provide a flash drive solution. Can't get it working on the web - request a flash drive be sent.
