Setting up a DTC Interface in iTrain
Hi Everyone,
I have recently installed a Fleischmann Turntable with the VPEB DinaSys DTC/DTS Controller.
I have added a turntable into the iTrain switchboard and also added a corresponding Interface and selected the only available COM Port, COM3:USB Serial Port.
However, when I now try to connect iTrain, I get an error message window popping up saying "Serial Port COM3 Suddenly Closed" and iTrain won't connect unless I delete that interface.
Does anyone know what the problem could be ? I suspect a problem with the COM port.
Then I tried this......
I have just plugged a USB cable between the DTC interface and my laptop and refreshed the Interface settings. There is now a new port appeared and when i select this, I am now able to connect iTrain and the turntable works.
I've attached another screenshot.
However, if I disconnect the USB Cable, it all stops working again !
Any ideas please as I obviously can't leave the USB connected to my laptop when my layout is in use ?
Thanks in advance !
