Your best bet is a second computer or laptop. it does both, not at the same time, but both. The new PR-3 is both a stand alone programmer and a command station interface. Locobuffer-II or Locobuffer-USB will not handle the sound files. Not to start a debate but what you really need since you run Digitrax specialy if you have Digitrrax SOUND decoders is the new PR-3 because of the sound files. So "yes" you can definetly make your current setup work, but a way to test the changes you've made that is geographically next to the computer will make the process much, much easier. And your wife (if you're married probably won't like having the carpet worn out on that path.). Unless you're a triathelete you'll likely not enjoy the exercise levels involved with setting all these with a computer two floors up (and the turn around delays involved).

While it's certainly easy to set addresses remotely you'll quickly find that setting accelerations, sound levels, and speed curves requires a lot of trial and error. While it's definitely possible to move a programming track up to the room where the computer is located (and there have been several good ways to do so presented above) I would suggest that you attempt asaf (as soon as feasible) to get a computer somewhere near the train room.

It and the JMRI software has made it *so* much easier to deal with my digitrax Chief. I've had a LocoBuffer II for a while now and it has worked great for me. You might even have an old wall wart lying around that you could use - you can also find appropriate power supplies at Radio Shack for under $20.īy using the SPROG you can use DecoderPro on your PC to do completely disconnected decoder programming as far away from your layout room as you like. You'll also need to get yourself a 12-15V power supply that puts out at least 500 milliamps. SPROG II accepts commands from the computer's USB port and formats them into DCC packets for programming of decoders or operating small layouts or DCC accessory systems. SPROG II gives you the ability to program DCC decoders using your computer without the need to move your computer to the railway room, or your existing DCC system to the computer room. SPROG II is supported on a range of hardware platforms (PC, MAC) and operating systems (Windows, MacOS, Linux) by DecoderPro. SPROG II is not an interface to any particular DCC system. SPROG II is a stand-alone computer controlled programmer and controller, complementary to your existing DCC system. See: Īt current conversion rates, the SPROG II USB costs about $78 US, figure $80 and some change with postage. What you guys are talking about is remote decoder programming without a command station.
