SPROG DCC; SPROG DCC Generation 5. You must first assemble the device and download the Base Station firmware to it. When the device drivers are installed. Digital Command Control (DCC) decoder programming is what makes your DCC decoder installation unique to your locomotive. Click the image below to read or download our Viewbook. N DCC Installs Volume 3 is a how-to program about installing Digital Command Control (DCC) decoders into N scale steam locomotives. If the avaialble throttle choices (JMRI on-screen, WiThrottle/Engine Driver on smartphones, TCS UWT-100, and Proto Throttle) are sufficient for your needs, I see no reason why the Pi-SPROG system couldn't be used on any size layout. Once TCS releases the simpler knob throttle, UWT-50, there will be another choice. SPROG USB Drivers The latest specific SPROG USB Drivers are available for download here. These are the same drivers that are included on the SPROG DCC JMRI CDROM, rev 30 shipping since December 2015, and newer. Updated drivers will appear here when necessary.

General hardware info

Turnout feedback

If your layout uses some feedback mechanism to sense the actual positions of Turnouts, for example a microswitch connected to the throw bars or a decoder that returns a confirmation message, JMRI can use that to keep track of what's actually happening on the layout. We call this 'Feedback', and how to configure and use it is described on the Turnout Feedback page.
