@Norton posted:I am using a Legacy R4LC with the rare Legacy DCDE available for a few months, now NLA. The only reason I went with Legacy here was to be able to drive the Vision 700E RS6 board. This before you could buy RCMCs outright. So far no luck having tried all versions of R4LCs and building an interface to invert serial data to the IR transmitter. Ironic if all I needed to do is put in a TMCC feature code.
I have that back-EMF Legacy board as well, I bought a couple of them when they were still available. It's really odd that you don't get the results I'm getting, I wonder if different RS6 boards react differently? With a Legacy receiver and motor driver, I can't imagine why the RS6 board isn't working, you'd think that would be a shoo in.
Maybe the 691RCDR104 RCDR / RADIO RECEIVER (S04 code) that is used in the LM T1 Duplex might work, that works with the RS6 board I have here.
Then again, there may be all sorts of oddities, I got the sense that things were pretty fluid with the sound boards right around this time period. 
WAIT! I see the problem! The VL Hudson uses the RCMC and not the RCDR or the R4LC. The command structure changed for triggering sounds with the RCMC, and it's not backward compatible! I ran across this trying to use the RS-Lite boards, and Jon Z. told me that the command structure changed and the sound boards no longer had "modes" like ringing the bell and stopping the bell on their own. Now they get every sound command from the serial data, which makes it much easier to keep things from getting out of sync with the sounds and the action. Since the VL Hudson uses the RCMC, the RS6 board must have different command structure to support it.
