Hmm, sorry to hear that @Nicoo. First, thanks for joining Eurobricks. However, please post in English, I took the libery to put your post in Google Translate and updated your post. - Did you try the second port? - A picture will already help a lot. - You could also debug the IR signal (e.g. using Arduino) , since the new IR gives the same results. - It is alas most likely the motor driver IC in the IR receiver is faulty, of course you could take the receiver apart, but if you are not into electronics it is not that easy. Did also read this from @Philo, our LEGO electronics expert: https://www.philohome.com/pfrec/pfrec.htm

Nice one @OddyBuilds. Very comprehensive tutorial I would say.

After 10 useful posts you can PM @idlemarvel and ask him. Also: Welcome to Eurobricks and enjoy Train Tech as well, but apart from that it is generally not a good idea to just ask for instructions especially in older topics.

Welcome @Sandesan enjoy your stay!

Thanks for sharing. You did a great job there adding those intricate patterns to the car! Also the lighting is very nice. On the hobby: In my case it was a number of factors that put the LEGO trains endeavor on hold, mainly starting a PhD and buying my mom's house. We now have a great LEGO cellar however (and I should finish my PhD in a year), so I should be able to get my LEGO back from storage soon.

Very nice, thanks for sharing @Ashi Valkoinen. Hope to be able to rebuild my train setup next year, such a nice layouts really trigger :)

Welcome back @slam23 :) Looking forward to your CADA to LEGO project.

Very nice work @polytechnikus. Thanks again for sharing!

Thanks for joining @Diedena but: - We are not a LEGO Ideas bill board - We all speak English here So please reread the rules and adhere to them. Thank you.

Even though the experiments I did were years ago, I did not have a lot of good experience with DCC. I found that in general LEGO trains are not that heavy compared to model trains and therefore the connection is less stable. I would also go for an easier option like cirquitcubes.

Here is a picture of the update: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IEiI_i7DuXO4Fjs7SF8MzMaXK_ui-jZW/view?usp=share_link And the updated Stud.io file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TtbjWJA-ZbTQBruxxDbjQcKXeo-yb2S-/view?usp=share_link That is at least already a good start I think. Probably those designers made it in some other way, but this is how I would make it.

Nice collection of cars + locomotive you added there @Murdoch17.

While I was waiting on data samples coming in of my research I did some WIP (Work in Progress): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/14MHWKAPEe1G07j4_vhnNjN6UyDYrRyEU?usp=share_link If I need to wait on more samples I might have a chance to enhance it. You can open it with stud.io (BrickLink software). If you make an account there (soon it will be merged with your LEGO.com account), you can also order it via de stud.io software b.t.w. It is always tricky to get the best deal but in your case I would advice to use UK BrickLink shops.

I would suggest to download Stud.io. You can then help him virtually build it and order the parts via Bricklink shops close to you. That is how I would do it at least.

Welcome @MikeTheBuilder! Looks like you build really nice trains, looking forward to see them in more detail!

One tip could be to use Wireshark. It can also capture USB. Also Claude or another LLM would be of great help! First get the protocol then it is relatively easy to make a Swift app around it.

Welcome @MeneerRiskanteKrazi. Enjoy your stay! Looking forward to see your MOCs!

Very well done @Janco147. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for joining Eurobricks @pjerrot . However please adhere to the rules and don't use EB as a bill board.

Welcome @Wolfgarr / Matej. Enjoy your stay. We are looking forward to your LEGO builds of course :)

It is totally not weird, the realized the mistake after the folders were printed and the only way to not waste all the instructions was to print a very precise 'errata', that is very common in engineering ;)

Very nice @L-Gauger! Looking forward to seeing the next steps / builds.

They put it in everything, I don't like it, but they do. One reason they are so dirt cheap is that they produce that many of course. But even Cortex microcontrollers (e.g. RP2350 which is a dual core M33) sell for less than one euro these days. RP3250

@Lonestar thanks for joining! However, we post in English here to make sure everyone doesn't need to use Google translate. Also like on 1000steine, we mainly discuss LEGO. You can discuss other brands but it is more for "Community" really.
