Hornby Select R8213 Firmware 1.0 help
Posted: Sat Jan 14, 2023 4:16 pm
I am very new to dcc, having used dc up to now and it is a bit difficult at the moment so I hope someone will be kind enough to try and help me please?
The layout I bought included a Hornby Select R8213 at Firmware 1.0 and I have been able to change the loco. addresses, turn lights on and run the locos.
Unfortunately the operating instructions I have are for Firmware 1.5 and my unit does not seem to follow some of the information. Loco. acceleration and deceleration and speed step change e.g.
I do not know what the various functions are, except for F0 - lights. So I can call up F1, F2 etc. but do not know how this affects the operation.
I have a Minitrix 2161 diesel bought second hand and was told the address was 109. I have changed this to a 2 digit address and when I turn the speed control there is a long delay before the loco. starts to move and a long delay after I turn the speed down before it stops. When it runs it is smooth but very slow and no lights are showing ( bought as working). I don't know what I can do to alter the situation.
Firstly has anyone got access to instructions for 1.0 and are there any suggestions as to how I can improve my Minitrix running and change parameters on my other locos.?
