It can be complicated working out what CVV values to use for your Digikeijs DR4018 accessory decoders, especially if you want to have a combination of point motors, multi-aspect signals and simple on-off switches on the same unit. Our calculator allows you to interactively add any combination of these, and will generate the correct CVV values for you. We also have a version of this that directly sends the CVV values over LocoNet® using our C# Nuget Package, LocoNet Sharp. Also supports light fade and flash speed configuration.
We can provide bespoke DCC control software for your layout or exhibition. From simple one-off automations, to complete layout control via our Open Source partners, Hookstone Models are one of the only providers of this service in the world.
