The bigger problem with the chuff is you can’t synchronize chuff with puff. Some Soundtraxx boards have a cam in to do that. Blunami doesn’t. The smoke fan here is driven off an optical detector with stripes on a driver. Perfect 4 puffs per rev but it doesn’t always align with the chuff sound. You can adjust the sound to be close to driver rotation like you can with EOB (kit version) or DCS tach strips, there is a variable on the configuration page, but it doesn’t always start at the same place so sometimes you get smoke puffs in between chuffs.
Hopefully that will be addressed in future versions or maybe another manufacturer will get on the Bluetooth DCC band wagon. Still a lot of potential here especially for do it yourselfers.
