@gunrunnerjohn posted:I've never seen any mysterious behavior of the PWM outputs, they're operation seems very straight-forward. Ditto for the lights, couplers, and smoke, at least for the C08 version. I've looked at the serial bitstream and can see the change with the chuff, but I never actually setup the scope to properly decode the whole bit stream. Usually, I'm just looking to see if it's getting to the serial data if I'm having a problem with chuff getting to the tender. It would be an interesting experiment, just never find the time. The bit rate is interesting, it's about 3K, a nice round number that doesn't match any standard.
I'm guessing there's a good reason for that, probably matching up to some processor capability.
Clearly, the serial data is probably the biggest documentation task.
Truthfully, I'd be happy with the hardware design documentation, even a complete schematic would be great!
I'll be a spectator for this one as well.
Are there any Lionel authorized service centers anymore . I thought everything new needed to go back to Lionel?
