RailPro Specific Help & Discussion / HC-3 froze up while using
« Last post by WyldBill on April 05, 2024, 11:32:43 PM »
Hi all,
Has anyone had an instance where their HC freezes up while running a loco? I just had that happen to me on my HC-3 and I can't change screens or even turn it off.
I have already sent an email to Ring. I suppose I'll have to wait until next week for a response.
Anybody have this happen to them? Any suggestions?

Thanks,
WyldBill

Using a reed switch and three magnets on a tender wheel, I succesfully got it to chuff 4 beats per driver revolution.
Works good enough for me.

What is the error message?

Do you have the LM close to the HC or the PC you are copying from?

Is everything up to date software wise?

RailPro Specific Help & Discussion / New prime mover won’t copy to engine
« Last post by Davidbross on March 24, 2024, 12:01:55 PM »
Help appreciated

Brand new lm4sg board. I made room
By deleting prime mover and other files.

I’ve tried to copy over a new ult prime mover. It won’t copy.  After attempting for a while it gives error message.

I then tried copying the same engine but in the older non ult. Same thing.

I’ve tried two different computers that I’ve used many times for this before.


I can get other sounds like horn or bell to copy.


Thoughts?   My best guess is that the original file didn’t fully delete so there’s not room.  I say that because the deletion happened pretty quickly.

For what it's worth, I have added the LGB electric sound module to two of my LGB Electric locos controlled with Railpro.
You don't get to ring the bell or toot a horn , (unless you use a track magnet and the LGB track pickup module that plugs into the sound module)
But you do have good rev up and running sounds.
You will have to adjust the speed setups, etc, with your controller to match.

Yes. The best response is from actual switches Vs some of the optical sensors which require different wiring.

Don't expect it to chuff like a Phoenix though. It seems Ring is using the input to suggest the speed to the program. If you start fast or stop fast the chuff will lag, or continue after you stop!  I've found if I'm careful to start and stop slowly that it isn't as bad. It's been suggested that adding Load will help that. I prefer to run with no load, having absolute control over speed for switching.

Another Newby to AP here.
Could that Chuff input (in green on the diagram) be a reed switch like you use with a Phoenix sound system?

I really really doubt others have done that, and if anyone actually has I'd love to read how they did it. What I think you'll actually find it that people have made a simple single motor rpm loop, like a horn file: Startup -> Single rpm -> Shutdown. To me and I guess most others not what we'd call a prime mover/engine sound as it doesn't have a range of rpm sounds.

So, if your wanting a prime mover/engine sound with a range of rpms (think notches) then my first reply still stands. If you can provide otherwise that we can make these please do so here and I'll stand humbly corrected.

If you just want a single rpm engine sound then yes, that can be done by us users. No one has posted or made reference to such a sound to this forum before.
