YaMoRC YD8116 Switch Decoders / Signal Decoder. No2

[@shanecockburn]

James you are so talented with all DCC. Thanks for all your help and support

[@andrewclarke7707]

I’ve just spent 15 minutes learning the way round the programming of an 8116 with the 9100. This video helps immensely with this process. Thank you for taking the time to publish it. My initial impression of YaMoRC products is very positive - I’ve just taken delivery of a 2nd 8116.

Hello Andrew I am pleased you like it so much. More good stuff to come.

[@LocGeek]

Thanks for the great presentation! I wasn't 100% sure what all the fuss was about (especially knowing the DR4018 is a great product, despite it being indeed a pain to configure). It does seem YaMoRC has really taken user friendliness to the next level; still requires some skills, but way more accessible 👍

I have 2 YD8008 and love them, they set up so simply and offer great performance with Hornby & Peco point motors.

[@DCCtrainautomation]

Video coming soon about the YD8008 and YD8044

[@modeloco]

Good stuff James. These units dim LED’s too don’t they, if too bright and wonder if 1) you can recommend companies doing UK signalling that will dim, do fades and hopefully use common positives. 2) Will these units also cater for signals that include theatre boxes and position lights? 👍

[@leonardoparoli4948]

Great explanatory video. You mentioned that the YD8116 lacks a Loconet connection and all you need is to connect a track feed to the signal power side. Not sure I understand Can you clarify ? My goal is simply have the train stop when red . I'm using Rocrail in auto mode Thanks

[@GGS1956]

It looks like it is far easier to configure individual outputs as compared to the Digikeijs 4018

[@bageldad]

How does the Loconet signal get transmitted to the 8116 when operating the device? Is there a Loconet version?

[@DCCtrainautomation]

This unit does not have loconet. You just out a DCC track feed to the signal side and then it gets its switch commands from here. You don’t need to connect loconet for it to work perfectly.

[@jerryfbarnes5228]

Will this system work with JMRI?

[@koertduus5346]

Hi, can it run together Roco z21/Z21? Etc. Koert

[@DCCtrainautomation]

Yes it can.

[@kodibellchambers1290]

Interesting stuff! The switch unit be used in conjunction with a DR4088LN? I've just ordered a heap of Dapol semaphore signals and was hoping to use the block sensing to trigger these. Is this something that is do-able with this gear?

[@DCCtrainautomation]

Hello Kodi What control system are you using? iTrain or Train Controller or something else?

[@kodibellchambers1290]

@@DCCtrainautomation iTrain actually :)

[@DCCtrainautomation]

@@kodibellchambers1290 ok so the signals need to be drives from accessory decoder and then iTrain will do the rest.

[@jerryfbarnes5228]

What would I use for an USA 3 head Signal?Grn Yel Red.

[@jerryfbarnes5228]

I am still waiting for a reply!

[@stevio7777]

I wish to use Dapol semaphore signals. Can I do this thanks

[@DCCtrainautomation]

Hello sir If you want to use the Dapol semaphore signals you need a rely on the output of the 8116 and then connect the signal to the relay. This is the only way you can do this.

[@jerryfbarnes5228]

I don't understand the flashing lights. How to distinguish between programming VS Normal flashing.

[@GGS1956]

Would this switch decoder couple to a Digikeijs system

[@DCCtrainautomation]

Yes this switch decoder will work With any DCC command station

[@lgrfbs]

The software looks very similar to the one that digikeijs developed for their products, is there a relationship here or a collaboration? Thanks for a great video.

[@DCCtrainautomation]

The original developer for the Digikeijs equipment is the developer for YaMoRC.
