Zimo sound programming notes

Notes on the big boy sound file (My H. Dappen)

(courtesy Dan Pierce)

CV 148-152 need to be 0 for the BigBoy decoder project by H. Dappen.  These deal with braking and motor control.

Also note that some projects have the brake key on F4  which means when the engine is stopped and f4 is on, no motor control can be done until the brake is turned off.  F4 used to be used for half speed, now it can be 'no speed'.

Also for servo control, cv 161-177 are servo limit and speed settings.

And Cv 18

1-4 addresses, and cv181 -184 for servo addresses. 

Note that the 'waltz' is programmed  for a value of 48 in the cv125-132 that you selected, for F6, CV 132 needs to be a 48 and also cv 115/116 for speed and distance control.

The 'waltz' for reverse is done by the following:

When the engine is going forward, depress the uncouple function key....nothing will happen until you stop the forward movement.

When the engine stops, the zimo decoder takes over and backs up the engine, activates the servo to uncouple and then stops and moves forward. 

CV's to be set to 0 for bigboy project.

The function key cv's for sound are 310-313.

I set them as follows to have no sound at a standstill and all working when engine is moving with function 8 on.

310=8  (function 8 road noise and random noise)

311=8  general on/off, same as cv 310

312=0 Drainage button

313=8  mute button

Notes on the K27 Sound file

K27 default function mappings in the sound file:

F0 - Headlight
F1 - dynamo on off with startup and shutdown sounds
F2 - smoke on (have not tested)
F3 - nothing
F4 - short whistle over and over forever
F5 - long whistle that only ends when you turn the function off
F6 - whistle crossing sequence (2 long, 1 short, one long that stays on until you turn the function off)
F7 - bell
F8 - sound on/off (not sure it is mute)
F9 - coal shoveling, you can hear a little talking at the end
F10 - "Blaser" - Wind? injectors (I guess so, kind of a roar, maybe steam letoff)
F11 - air pump
F12 - injectors
