RailPro Specific Help & Discussion / Re: Saved accessory project
« Last post by G8B4Life on February 19, 2024, 05:41:43 AM »
No, they do not get deleted from RailPro Assistant when you copy them to the accessory module so it should still be there in RPA, unless you accidentally deleted it. The only other possibility that I can think of, which is a long shot as it's been years since I've seen something along these lines so I may be remembering wrong is although you "saved" it (you had to to be able to load it to a module) it actually wasn't saved to disk due to write permissions, or the storage file is full. If other stuff you've written / downloaded has remained in RPA after you've closed and reopened RPA then write permissions isn't the problem. Is your storage file full ? (RPA gives a percent free indicator).

Yes, I initially loaded the wrong file. Have recovered from that error, but now  I’m missing the accessory picture and can’t find the one I need.

RailPro Specific Help & Discussion / Saved accessory project
« Last post by Mazzone on February 18, 2024, 08:54:56 AM »
Hi all,
I have created an accessory project for lighting control and loaded it to an am-1S and everything works great, now I would like to edit that project to add sounds but when I open project manager it doesn’t show any project files on the computer. I did save the project before I loaded it to the handheld. Is it removed from Railpro assistant after it’s loaded to the handheld? Thanks for any help!

Nobodies reported that warning here before, but not many here use the AM-1b in either of it's varieties as far as I know.

All I can suggest is to ask if you updated your AM-1b with the correct program; there is the normal program and the accessory program; you need the normal program to control points (that's switches to most of you all reading this).

If you did update with the correct program then try re-saving any settings in the AM-1b and see if it will do the trick. If all that fails then I guess a call to Ring Engineering will be in order.

Would have thought Don Sweet would be there as a dealer?  He's from NH and supports that show I believe.

After updating to Rev 1.20, I’m getting a “Loop Time Warning” and can no longer activate switches. Help!

Does anyone have sounds that would work for a Pacific Electric streetcar? Thanks!

Thank you. I'll just get the lm4sg, I know it'll supply enough current

If the motor in the railtruck can draw more current than an LM-3S can provide (for example, 4 Amps), then you couldn't use an LM-3S to drive the motor directly. What can be done (in theory) is to use the LM-3 to drive a transistor designed for delivering a lot of power, or a pair of them in a configuration called a darlington pair and the transistor(s) then provides the power to the motor, easily supplying more than the LM-3 can deliver on it's own. Something very similar is already happening inside the LM, there is no way the microcontroller inside the LM can deliver 1A by itself.

Unfortunately I don't have a good drawing to post to explain it, nor do I have an explanation of how to handle forward and reverse. Our resident electronics guru would have been able to but sadly Alan has not been here for quite a long time for some reason.

It has no way of coupling to another loco or cars.   I don't understand why I'd want to drive a lower transistor instead of the motor
