Hi Max! I know that this had led to some discussion within the development team. The MTC4PF has the feature is adjusting the power by motor, but I need to look up if we implemented that for the MTC4BT as well. If not, I’ll file a feature request.
I do not quite remember, but I believe I tested it mainly with V2. Please state your results here once you have tried it.
Ich schaue noch mal, sobald ich selbst einen Controller angeschlossen habe. In der Zwischenzeit schau Dir mal das MQTT Log an. Da solltest Du auch fündig werden!
First of all, using 3D train studio as a simulator is a very good idea. I do this as well and it works really good. Congratulations of how far you came already.
As a last resort, can you send me your Rocrail plan? It a file called “plan.xml” file? You can post it here or send it to me via e-mail.
True. I assume you entered the correct loco Address in Rocrail, as the serial log shows it. Please check for any leading or trailing spaces before or after the “103” in Rocrail and delete them. Besides that, I do not know what the problem might be. I suppose it’s something really simple, but one of those things that are like a needle in the haystack.
The configuration looks good to me. Are you sure that you copied the configuration file to the correct location, so that it is used during compile time?
Derzeit leider nein. Wir sind in der “Sommerpause” und werden uns solchen Themen vermutlich erst im Herbst / Winter wieder widmen.
Wir haben den Linearmotor bislang m.E. nicht ausprobiert. Wenn man etwas ändern muss, dann auf jeden Fall im MTC4BT Code, nicht in Rocrail.
Ich glaube, dass bei dem seriellen Monitorauszug ein paar Zeilen fehlen. Reboote doch mal den Controller und schaue, ob Du dann das volle Log bekommst. Dort sollte dann auch die MattzoControllerID stehen.
Hi Kim,
we presently do not have plans to integrate the PFx brick into our eco-system.Cheers,
MattzeHallo Ralf,
wir widmen uns derzeit anderen Projekten, so dass die Remote Control Lösung noch etwas warten muss. Die Lösung wird vermutlich eine Erweiterung des MTC4BT werden, aber das müssen wir noch final diskutieren.Gruß,
MattzeConfirmed. In firmware version V1.0.2, you need to you “reverse”. With V1.1, you can also use “backward” instead of “reverse”. We already updated the documentation, but we are running a bit late with the publication of the new firmware version V1.1.
If you can’t wait, check out the development branch of the git repository for now.
I am happy to hear that. You know that we have a “project” section in which I post some cool layouts of our users. Feel free to send me some media via e-mail. Thanks!
Hi Pieter,
it’s always great to hear that people like our stuff.I am using OTA with VSCode. The idea is to configure some parameters in the [env] section of the my_platform.ini file:
[env:esp12e]
; Use either the ‘upload_port’ line above if the ESP32 is connected to your PC’s USB port or enable/configure the three lines below to use OTA updates.
; The IP address should match that of the controller on your network.
; Theshould match the current password from the network_config.json you previously uploaded to the controller.
;upload_protocol = espota
;upload_port = 192.168.x.y
;upload_protocol = espota
;upload_flags = –auth=Remove the semicolons ahead of the parameters and configure them correctly.
Does this help?
If not, there is a lot of Mattzobricks-unspecific documentation on the web, you can find it easily via Google.
Cheers,
MattzeNo, that doesn’t work. The Trixbrix R40 double slip switch is, geometrically, pretty bad and incompatible to most of the situations in which you would like to use double slip switches, especially in parallel track situations. I told them and proposed an improved geometry already, but they didn’t build it yet. In the meanwhile and if you have the space, you should try R104 switches and double slip switches. They are perfect for what you are trying.
Another message from Dave:
Thanks Matthias, your suggestion solved the issue and your explanation also helped me to understand how the process works too – seems obvious now!
After making the necessary changes, happy to confirm that it works and I’ve put another switch servo and signal in too, just to check!
Hi Dave,
it’s great that you pasted the debug console output and your config file.To fix the servo problem, please find this line:
.servoIndex = 7,
and replace the 7 with a 4.
.servoIndex = 4,
To fix the signals, you need to replace this line:
.aspectLEDPort = {4, 5},
so that it looks like this:
.aspectLEDPort = {0, 1},
The reason is that you need to refer from the logical component (switch, signal) to the zero-based index of the array of the physical component (servo, LED).
Hope this fixes your issues.
