MTH..We Want This

That'd be AWESOME!

Yes! What he said!

Yes!..What Matt said!

I'm sure that MTH will do it right after Lionel

 Chuck, you know I saw a thing that Lionel is developing software for their I pad use too. With their software closer to DCC maybe it would be easier for them to make alternate sounds available?? I am just guessing. I've read that their system is closer to DCC type packets? Maybe a lot different with Legacy? I bet it's still close.

Again, I've been requesting something like this ever year !

We need this functionality to set up our trains the way we want them.

Lord I would love that....come on MTH.

Oh man! Would that be great!

How cool would it be for passenger train sounds to let you select entire routes with different station stop announcements?!!! For Amtrak you make available the Empire Builder, California Zephyr, etc. AWESOME!!!

Exactly!..And it's been year after year after year that it's fallen on deaf ears.

But Wait!! Here's a App to run you train via smartphone??..Gee whiz Mikey, DCC has had that APP out for over 5 years now!!..What new cutting edge technology have you got for us in 2013?? Uh..How's about a swinging bell?..What happened to the Silver Bullet technology?...Uh here kid..play with S scale for awhile and leave the programming to the programmers as we don't do programming..we make trains and never mind that we developed the software for DCS as we're not programmers and you dumb train people can never ever learn how to make a sound file..it takes my guy 2 days to do it..and they sound like a sick vacuum cleaner. 

Never mind that I tried to patten BEMF..until QSI challenged me and I lost but the optical reader is way more accurate..or that's what my puppets will tell you...unless of course you're trying to run your trains real SLOW..then the algorithms are way off but we don't write programs..we're users like Tron 

Has anyone posted anything that describes how the DCS remote communicates with the TIU?

Refer to The DCS O Gauge Companion 2nd Edition, pages 55-56, for a detailed discussion.

This and a whole lot more is all in "The DCS O Gauge Companion 2nd Edition", now available for purchase as an eBook or a printed book from MTH's web store site! Click on the link below to go to MTH's web page for the book!

If you're curious you can tap into the remote-TIU tethered serial connection;  use a USB-TTL converter set to 3.3v.

It won't mean much however, unless you're privy to MTH's super-secret encoding protocol.
