Hi

I am looking for help, my friend has an extensive LGB collection and we are starting to build a garden layout. Unfortunately neither of us has much experience with DCC and I am finding it difficult to get my head around ZIMO. He has an MX10 a MX32 and WI FI to a tablet with Z21. The layout was partially built and the DCC setup by someone who is no longer around as a result we are not exactly starting from scratch.

I find the ZIMO documentation rather baffling, especially the MX32 hand set. I cannot find help locally as this is a rather specific type of hobby. If there is someone who would be prepared to help me in person via an internet video link I would be most grateful. We are U.K. time +2 hours, the layout is not in my house so I would need to coordinate to have the ZIMO equipment available.

I need help understanding the MX10 handset. Then help programming decoders ( no idea which manufacturers ), interrogating existing decoders and programming turnout decoders so certainly more than one call.

thanks

Yes I can help, will have to synchronize times...

Did you visit my site? I have pages on Zimo for exactly the reason you are asking, I was confused, and the organization of the information made me nuts.

Entry page for zimo:

Zimo DCC

Greg Elmassian web site on large scale trains and garden railroads, cigars, and computers
elmassian.com elmassian.com

At the bottom of that page you get 2 links, to decoders, and to the mx10 system.... all pages fan out from there.

All told about 13 web pages on Zimo topics.....

I'd read them first, they are broken down by topic: (I have 2 MX10, 3 MX32FU, MXULF, etc. and help Zimo beta test)

Getting started the first time Zimo firmware versions & notes Zimo consisting tips Zimo, Zigbee & Wi-Fi
Zimo Cheat Sheet MX32FU charger The Zimo Database Customizing Images for MX32FU cab Images for MX32FU cab
Interfacing to the MX10, JMRI, etc. Zimo MX32 buttons/controls

Hi Greg
Thanks for your answer, I have family staying this week and we are about to have dinner so my wife doesn’t think ZIMO is high priority. Let me look at your links and I will try to contact you during the day tomorrow.
Many thanks
