@Jeff_the_Coaster_Guy posted:Well this pretty much answers a question I asked in another thread. Someone on that thread mentioned that the MTH DCC on the PS3 card is "backwards"...did you have any challenges hooking up the BR board to the PS3 card?
Also, does the MTHDCC decoder show all of the features on the BR app like other decoder would? (i.e. the features aren't "proprietary", and they follow normal DCC protocol)? Can the sound files be updated / programmed like other DCC decoders, or do you still need to use the MTH (chain?) sound files for that loco?
I'm days away from taking a stab once I figure out if I want to swap my PS3 board into the loco, or if I should buy an expensive dedicated DCC decoder.
This stuff is so cool, Ron.
Jeff,
Do NOT swap out a PS3 board for another decoder. MTH works great in DCC mode with BlueRail. There are 28 easily accessible functions just like you would see in DCS and further customization by adjusting CV's.
The only annoying thing I ran into is the Startup Shutdown sequence was the same as the short horn button in the App. But this video shows you how to swap it around so it works properly.
The only time I might recommend replacing the PS3 stuff in favor of a Soundtrax board is if you are trying to fit the BR board, ST board and battery all in the same diesel. You will have to remove the large PS3 board to make that happen.
