I could be wrong here but your idea is alive now. http://jmri.sourceforge.net/apps/DecoderPro/index.html <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by myred02</i> <br /><br />I would like to see a computer interface for your DCC system that allows you to program locomotives in an easier fashion. Here's how it would work. You put a locomotive on the programming track, which is connected to the DCC throttle or command station, which is connected to a laptop computer. The computer, which would already be running the program, would detect the locomotive. It would tell you things about the locomotive, as well as list the different functions available. You would program the locomotive by selecting different options. For example, if it asked you "Which function button would you like to use to activate the horn?" you would click on "F1" or "F2" from the list of "F" buttons on a toolbar, which is displayed in the same window as the question you are being asked, depending on your preferences. It would be almost like tuning your car using a Hypertech Power Programmer, for those of you who know what that is. <br /> <br />That is what I would like to see, as well as a few things already listed by Zak Gardener. <br /> <br />-Brandon <br />[/quote]
