Re: Headlamp housings
Could you just draw something up so I know what sort of thing you are looking for, I may, or may not have something already or that can be adapted / modified.

Re: Cheapo diesel sound card
Thanks for your replies guys. I wasn't having ago at anyone in the thread and like I said I did find it interesting reading, It's OK Rod, I don't think anyone thought you was "having a go" at anyone. Electrics can be baffling that is for sure, electronics even more so, even for me. I was ...

Re: Cheapo diesel sound card
On reading this thread I am glad it's all worked out Philip, yet for me and I presume most of use who are not that well informed with electricity stuff, buying a 'Cheapo Sound Card' isn't something that would be worth it for use, possibly because we would end up blowing stuff up with all those resi...

Re: Cabbed Hunslet
Not much on this for a while, mojo isn't all that high at the moment. I have not rivited it, added detail, nor weathered it, not even added buffers, but it is as it is and makes a nice base for a loco. Other than adding buffers, that's probably as far as I will go on this for now. Sorry it isn't to ...

Re: Cheapo diesel sound card
PS. It's probably advisable to protect the link from P3 to the soundcard with a 1k resistor, or maybe even a 4.7k resistor if you're powering the soundcard with 7.4v Rik PS - Now corrected the label for the switch and added the 1k resistor to the wiring diagram (see above) I am no electrician nor t...

Re: Cheapo diesel sound card
That's pretty much the wiring I used for mine, but without the buck convertor, the sound card I bought can handle 2 x li-ion batteries (8.4v) with no issue so just run them direct from the power input of the RX.

Re: Cheapo diesel sound card
Just to update on this, from my POV. I've been in discussions with Andy because I had to get him to reprogram it before when I couldn't, and thought he might have some insight on what I've been doing wrong. It has been more and more unexpected things and not accepting inputs. Eventually we went rig...

Re: British businesses who won't sell to Canada
Yet again while looking at a small-scale manufacturer's website, I saw a note saying "at the present time, we can not sell kits to Canada, the U.S.A., or countries in the E.U." What in particular are you looking at buying? There is a chance that someone in the UK might buy whatever it is ...

Re: Cheapo diesel sound card
Can you borrow a prog 4 to programme it with, or borrow a different TX, like a TX20? I have a Prog4 but it no longer works with the serial cables/Coolterm.. it's all obsolete. Nobody I know within half a days journey to borrow from ( I think you are about the nearest! :roll: ) unfortunately and it'...

Re: Cheapo diesel sound card
You should be able to work out the version you have, from the numbers written on the chip. Can't leave it alone, despite what I said yesterday - frustration speaking! Yesterday evening I managed to find the little leaflet that came with it originally and that says it is version 5.20. I've been thro...

Re: Cheapo diesel sound card
Well it works on a standard RX setup, sorry about the out of focus video :oops: Next thing is getting a servo output on a Micron RX603. Well, I need to talk to you about a soundcard, so I can give you instructions on how to configure a spare 'P' output to be a servo, as well.. 8) Phil.P Erm, yup, t...

Re: Photos Removal
BTW, I am not sure if all your images and videos are stored online as I don't use Apple anything's so wouldn't have a clue, but you should ensure you have a backup of all those, be it on an extra hard disk or backed up online, or both. This is from someone that lost all their photos when two hard dr...

Re: Cheapo diesel sound card
OK, chaps I need some advice, or even just thoughts! I have a Deltang Rx41d-x-v5 lead-out on P2 passed through MA002b, configured as servo on ch4, sitting around doing nothing. I originally got it for the Austo-Daimler but didn't use it so it's currently working fine at controlling the Gmeinder cha...
