@NBGT posted:Hello everyone. I may have run across a programming error in the Lion Chief Plus 2.0 Berkshires. I'm hoping maybe someone on the forum can run their own tests to see if they can reproduce my results.
Here's what's happening. I have one of the new North Pole Central Berkshires SKU: 1932100. When using the Lion Chief App (iphone) and when there are multiple Bluetooth locomotives on the layout (specifically, in my case there were two Bluetooth enabled Legacy locomotives on the layout with the Lionchief Plus 2.0 North Pole Central berkshire), when you select a locomotive from the Lionchief App that is not the Berkshire, the Berkshire responds to the selection i.e. I can control both the intended locomotive and the North Pole Central berkshire). This doesn't seem to be right. If I intentionally select the NPC berkshire, it behaves as it should (and no other locomotives get selected).
In order to "deselect" the NPC berkshire: 1. I select a locomotive (that I don't want to operate) and the NPC berkshire gets selected, 2. I then select a third locomotive (the one I want to operate) and it selects just fine (and the NPC Berkshire deselects). The nuance is that if I hit the "deselect" button first and then hit the "select" button to pair the intended locomotive, the NPC Berkshire gets selected.
My NPC Berkshire performs as it should in all other control methods (Legacy, TMCC, conventional) (I don't have a universal Lionchief remote to test that mode). I erased the lionchief app and reloaded and tried multiple phones - all same result.
I'm curious to know if I have a faulty engine, or if there is some programming bug that Lionel would want to address in there next runs of Lionchief Plus 2.0. @Dave Olson any chance you could try to replicate my test?
Thanks!
Actually it sounds more like a LionChief iOS APP bug. I'll check it out.
