Reply to "John's C&O Yellowbelly Hudson Upgrades"

Do you have the RS24S24 PIC?  I'd like to find one and see if this works out.

I can provide an RS25 S24 PIC. Have a spare PIC in the RS27 S23 family to trade?

So does the CV Rs2.5 board have the correct PIC chip for this to work? When I upgrade my yellow belly, I’d like to change the sound board to the CV board since I like the NYC whistle much better than the whistle used on the C&O board

No, the CV RS2.5 board has the same issue with an RS25 S12 PIC. It will recognize a direct chuff trigger just fine -- microswitch, reed switch, hall effect sensor, etc. -- but doesn't see the chuff along the serial line as these locomotives were produced before the first wireless tethers. The RS25 S24 PIC was created for the first wireless tether locomotives in 1997, and therefore recognizes a chuff in the serial data.

The PIC substitute will work for your CV as well.
