    Hi:

    I'm using DCC++ running on an Arduino Mega. It reads 4 potentiometers as the throttles.

    There is a Digitrax, a EZ Bachmann and a third decoder that is produced here. This one wasn't detected by JMRI until I got the xml file and imported it. Its brand is LDH and a guy produces them in Argentina. Its programing is very complete with many values.

    It, along with the other two decoders runs fine when controlled from JMRI, but when use the DCCpp code, it stalls every time I send a command to other loco, as if there is something out of standard. I can't blame it on the decoder as this doesn't happen in JMRI (and I bet it will work fine on a commercial DCC base station). It has nothing to do with any voltage drop as it too happens when it is the only loco on the tracks.

    Did this happen to anyone else with any decoder?
