@Cheap&NothingWasted posted:That solved the control issue. I had to turn it quite a bit, maybe 1 or 1.5 full turns, I didn't count. The sound is still just motor revs, no response to commands. I gave it LCRU2 code 1, I don't know if that is correct or affects the Railsounds. I am going to try GRJ's suggestion to pull the chips and reset them. PLCC Puller ordered...
I gave it Code 6 and that started it working again. Thanks for all your help. Now that I have a full LCRU2 and RS2.5 setup spare, I'm going to put it in a Weaver Alco C-628. I saw the other thread about wiring the LCRU2 for DC motors, but I have a couple questions regarding the auxiliary functions. I assume I can just wire the two DC motors in parallel with the 1uF cab across each set of motor contacts.
1. Can I really wire the RS2.5 Diesel Rev Switch to the motor leads? How might I do that without frying the RS board? I don't want to try to retrofit in a switch to these trucks.
2. The C628s have a strobe LED. I see the LCRU2 produces a strobing effect on program code 5, but what is the voltage it supplies? Trying to avoid burning them out.
3. Any room left on the LCRU for a smoke unit? I have spare MTH ones, and it's an Alco Diesel, so constant full blast is all I need. If not I'll wire it to track power somehow with an on/off switch.
Thanks for all your help.
