model-trains Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 Iain I only included the image because you said... diagrams would make your posts much easier to read - whilst in your minds eye you understand what you describe, for those of us at a distance the words are difficult to comprehend. I agree with what you said and am going to remove all others and start from board-1, the second or bottom picture above. I will have a look at this later... look in your dr5000 program and set all the S88 to zero Thanks for your guidance Paul 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
model-trains Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 I have stripped out all wires to all feedback modules, run a live to the first DR4088LN The settings were as follows, but it didn't work, same issue as before? I include all these to at least make sure settings are correct before replacing and adding another DR4088LN I went into DR5000 and to ext88N IN, in this section have I set the following... SETTINGS Number of 16 input modules 1 Number of 8 input modules 0 Number of contacts 16 First contact in feedback space 0 Report all contacts after power on 1000 ext88 modules Number of control modules 1 Type Dr4088 Channels 1 - Pair - Throw Ticked - 1 2 - Pair - Throw Not Ticked - 1 3 - Pair - Throw Ticked - 2 4 - Pair - Throw Not Ticked - 2 up to 16 (1 ticked 8, one not ticked 8) LOCONET 'T' Programming Left as no DR4088 in options Module address 1 CV number values 0 Settings purge time 0 Fast clock rate 0 Enable slow module timing not ticked Baudrate tuning 110 Comparator tuning 1.80 RailCom Sense direction OFF Thanks for any help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMorrison Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I went into DR5000 and to ext88N IN, in this section have I set the following...

model-trains Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 Hi Iain Before finishing, with just 4 feedbacks in a single outer loops, everything else is stripped out, wires, codes the lot, I gave it a try. They all worked! I wish I had asked about the settings first but as you said to many things going on, also time has dragged on somewhat. Anyway that initial test was encouraging, hopefully now I can get this first board pulled together and get started on board two in a weeks time. I will add a final update, hopefully no more issues, 27 feedbacks to code, wire and test. Many thanks for your help 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
