Hey all,
So this has only recently been occurring for me, and i thought it was because i needed to update the controller. Well it didn't change the minor but annoying issue I've been seeing.

Issue: from the main welcome screen, and selecting the locomotives button, it brings up the "last selected products" page. showing the power modules, accessories, etc. if I select the next page button, it transfers to the correct screen "Select Locomotive Page 1" and then the next page button takes me to "page 2" and then back to "page 1" it doesn't leave the locomotive selection pages.

It also does this when i press the image of the locomotive on the control locomotive screen.

Does anyone else know why this performing in this way?
The hand held has the 2.26 software updated, but it was doing it on the 2.23.  this issue also shows up on the 2.30 version of the simulator. It only seems to do it when clicking the locomotive image button, when clicking the locomotives button it shows only locomotives.

anyone else experiencing this?

I asked Ring Engineering if the output(s) of the LM-4S-G could be the source to power the LEDs. The answer was NO. The outputs can only sink current.

So to make things work I went ahead and purchased some common anode bi-colour LEDs.
I will replace the ones on the boards and wire them accordingly.

Thanks for all your comments and suggestions.

Tim,

I see, I miss understood what you were saying initially. Okay, thank you for clarifying that.

Maybe i'll just install a second sound module and only hook up a speaker to it, see if that works. Do you think if i set the motor load on a module that has no motor it'll work properly? or should i put some level of resistor between motor leads...?
that would get the two motors to sound from different ends of the chassis, and notch up as they move.

I would have to make sure they're always MU'd together for sound functionality.. does anyone know a way to permanently link two modules together? Like having two dcc engines programed to the same address?

Thanks,
Glenn

As I stated earlier in the thread, the sound file for a DDM45 is not for a DD40AX, they are completely different locomotives, the DDM45 being a narrow gauge locomotive built for Brazil having a single 20 cylinder 645E3 prime mover (same as the SD45 on which the DDM45 appears to be based upon) . The DD40AX has two 16 cylinder 645E3 prime movers.

There is currently no way that I know of to utilise dual prime mover sounds until Tim Ring invents a way.

I spoke too soon. After drawing out the circuit I found out that the LEDs used are common cathode. So the circuit will not work using the +5V supply through the LEDs and to the output.

Gibs you are correct. You need common anode LEDs to make things work.

I have another thought.
Can you use the output to supply power through the LEDs and connect them to the Common pin?
Can this work using an LM-4S-G? If so then I could use the existing common cathode LEDs.
