Z21 programming a digikeijs DR4018 accessory decoder

[@hovermotion]

Nice demo...I think you can also do special effect lighting too but I have not tried it yet with the similar esu decoders. ....jim

[@krishsoundar3857]

nice informative video! i am using DR4018 w/ Z21 for twin coil Atlas switch and have programmed preset (CV 47 to 0). I hear a long buzz after each throw.. Is there a duration setting CV to update?

[@DCCtrainautomation]

You can do lighting effects yes. I am putting together a new Video of a product that I think ever body will like.

[@taff759]

Can the DR4018 (along with DR4101) be used to switch Kato N gauge points via the z21?

[@DCCtrainautomation]

Yes it can totally!! I have a video of this as well.

[@taff759]

@@DCCtrainautomation Many thanks, much appreciated

[@jonathanboswall4703]

Does that unit control tortoise switch machines? With the Z21? Kind regards Jonathan

[@DCCtrainautomation]

Yes this will drive tortoise!

Hello, is there away I can get my Hornby Track plan into the Z21? I can't take a photo of my layout as it's to big.

[@jameshudson9123]

why not take a picture of the Hornby plan of the computer screen.

[@Puzzler12]

Hi thanks, yes I could do that, but how do I get that in the Z21?

[@DCCtrainautomation]

Paul Garwood what do you mean in Z21?

[@Puzzler12]

The Hornby track plan into the Z21?

[@DCCtrainautomation]

Paul Garwood after you take the picture you and the turnout over the top of the plan. And address them. That’s all you can do.

[@JJthrashing]

Can these decoders work ok with Solenoid and standard point motors ?

[@DCCtrainautomation]

No they are not designed to do that. If you mean the Peco or Seep ones.

[@tobiassandfeldandreasen6735]

how do you conect it to z21 start and tracks

[@modellbahnfabi2741]

Hello good video but what a CV number?

[@AmazeTase]

Does this accessory decoder work with an ESU Ecos 50200 controller?

[@Haymarket47]

Tase There is a you tube video by a guy called "Trains in the Attic" and I'm sure he uses an Ecos 50200 with this accessory decoder.

[@AmazeTase]

Alan Wilson Thanks Andrew, I'll check it out. Much appreciated mate.

[@ericremoy4433]

I am really enjoying your videos. With the 4018 being run by a Z21 interface like you have, can you link the turnout positions to a dual aspect signal? I’m new to this, so there may be a better way than what I am thinking. Also, how can you set up to automatically stop a train at a station and then resume?

[@DCCtrainautomation]

Hello Eric you have more than one question here. OK 1. Automatically stopping. = With the Z21 app no. But if you link the Z21 to iTrain for example yes. 2. DR4018 and switching a signal at the same item if you create a route in the Z21 app yes you can do this. it would not be a function of the DR4018. Hope this helps.

Hi Can you please give some instructions on how control tortoise switch machines? i tried but but didn't worked for me Thanks
