Hi Marty,

My question is will Lionel eventually upgrade the legacy iPhone app so that you can increase or decrease the amount of momentum for the (M) setting like you can with the cab2 remote?  Right now I think the settings are locked at 1 for low, 4 for medium and 8 for high.  Also would they consider adding the speed limit feature as well.  

Thanks,

Blake Morris

Just about a week to go for questions that can be sent to Lionel. October 5th is the deadline.  Also if you have any thoughts on anything that needs some review we can cover that too.  Right now I am planning a review of Legacy basics including a short history.  This will probably bore seasoned users but we do get some new folks in so this may help them.  We will also upgrade bases and remotes to 1.6 and 1.61 respectively.  Also will do LC Universal remotes.

So now some other business...

It seems interest in the meeting is starting to drop.  In the past we would have over 4 pages of questions and responses by now.  Depending on the turnout of this meeting I may entertain stopping it all together.  I'm just not sure we have enough material and interest to maintain the meeting.  Dave has suggested that there is some items in the pipeline that we could show and discuss in the future so we'll see.  Currently I am planning to do a fall only meeting from here on out but depending on the turn out in October we may have to consider if we've run the course.  

This is not just the Legacy meeting either.  I also keep an eye on the DCS meeting thread and that too has seemed to have less replies and activity than usual.  Maybe we've peaked.  Anyways I will not make a decision either way until after the fall show.

Thanks everyone!

Question - is the new Lionel Defect Detector an LCS device?  If not, why not -- and would you make it one?

As I am attending York as a guest, and cannot pick up my badge until show opens, will I be able to attend?

Yes.  The meeting is off the orange hall lobby and does not require a badge to get in.  We'll see you there.

I may be able to drive for the meeting but that's it.  It's not very likely frankly but not impossible.

Personally I wouldn't.  It's being recorded and no one so far from Lionel have indicated they are attending.  I am waiting to hear from Ryan Kunkle if he'll drop in before the meet.  It maybe one of our shorter meetings.

Well, I'd like to see the new LCS CSM2, IRV2, and sensor add on in action...  there was the LCS monitor software, there's of course their control software.  there's the 3rd party folks...

btw, that reminds me -- IK made my little LCS project open in the sense that you have to join gitlab and then you can join the project.  It's my fledgling java LCS software.  Sorry to say at this point I've not had time organize it more fully or include a build file, etc...   on the list but haven't gotten to it.

If I did all that I'd probably just make it public.

MartyE,

Hope attendance picks up.  

Being on the West coast (and not being able to get there) having your videos of the meeting I find out thing about Legacy I wouldn't otherwise.

Thanks for putting these together.

John

I will be there.  Items of interest to me are:

LCS IRV2 plus IVR2 Add-On Sensor.  Differences in operation from sensor track.

LCS STM2 vs LCS CSM2 for DZ-2500.  Do you need both?  Do you need the Breakout Board?

LCS CSM2 DZ-2500 Breakout Board.  How does this work without DZ-2001 Data Driver.  Is it the same as the ERR board, or has it been changed.

Thanks Marty. 

QUESTION 1:  When editing a track plan/diagram in the LCS app the magnification feature does not work (spreading of the thumb and pointer finger).  Can/will the engineers turn this feature on?  It would make tapping/selecting Label Boxes and other items, much easier.  Thank you.

QUESTION 2:  What is the status of creating the ability to upload LCS diagrams to the cloud?

QUESTION 3:  How do you change the order of the LCS diagrams?  I would like to swipe less.

Lionel, thank you for the LCS app, I will never build a physical control panel again!

OK guys we are in the final week to ask questions that we'll send to Lionel.  I am going to see if we can get some more information on the new LCS modules and components.  As stated in the announcement I hope to do a brief history of Legacy and review some of the more basic aspects.  I realize this will be a bit of a bore for some but we have new folks in that we want to make sure we don't leave behind. The plan is to show some of the menu items for setting up Legacy, the basics of entering and engine, and some of the unique features for Legacy.  I don't want to spend a lot of time but do want to cover some.

Unfortunately without Dave attending York, we will not have Q&A directly from Lionel but I will field questions from the group.  If I don't know the answer I will forward them to Dave and make sure they are in the summary.  

We will as always make sure you know about the LCS partners and where to find them as well as aforementioned Bob Phillips to talk about his DVDs and Book.  Well talk about John Will's signal booster.  Unfortunately John won't be able to do a presentation at this time but hopefully if he attends he can add to the conversation.  The meeting agenda is light.  We should easily have everyone out to the hall before 8:45.  As always I will be available to do Legacy upgrades, make 1.6 base and 1.61 cab modules, and even upgrade universal remotes at the end of the meeting.

Remember there will not be an April meeting.  We won't meet again until fall 2019.  

Questions due by Friday October 5th.  No other questions will be accepted after to makes sure Lionel has time to answer.

I'd also like to see a wiring diagram of how to setup a DZ-2500 to show correct position on the LCS app, to include the breakout board.

I think if some of these newer LCS products come out, an april meeting might be popular enough...

There will be no meeting in April.

Tomorrow 10/5/2018 is the last day for questions.  No questions submitted after tomorrow will be guaranteed to be answered by Lionel. 

By the way I do think it speaks volume to why we are not continuing with 2 meetings by the response here.  In the past we would be easily on page 3 or 4 by now with questions and responses.  We are still on page 1.  The DCS meeting is similarly tracking.  We will continue with the fall meeting unless the interest continues to drop.

Date corrected!

There's an LCS SER2 which connects a serial to the LCS bus.   I just bought one.  But I got to thinking, wouldn't it be nice if there was a LCS USB1 -- for connecting by USB of course (directly, instead of through a converter)?
