    Hi folks,

    I'm looking to add a LI-USB program to my LZV100 and need some infos from all the people already using it :

    - :eek: What did you find better with the LI-USB ?
    - :( Did you had any "bad news" from the program while programing / controlling locos?
    - [​IMG] When you control a loco with a virtual controlpad, can you quickly call the loco with a LH100 or do you first need to "deconnect" the virtual pad?

    Any other comments welcome ! :cool:

    Thanks a lot to everyone.

    Seb

    I have a Lenz LI-USB interface.

    Decoder Pro will not work withe This interface as it is .

    Paul Bender has to give you drivers for thsi interface.

    It works fine for me with the proper drivers.

    You can control the loco's with a virtual keypad with the programs that Lenz supplies with the LI-USB.


    Here is the post I made on Trainboard about the Lenz LI-USB interface:

    The new test version of JMRI (version 1.5.7) released last week has the drivers for the LI-USB included.

    The main advantage the new interface provides is that RS-232 serial ports are disappearing from most commercial computer hardware. These are being replaced by USB ports.
