I am not averse to using Zoom and would be willing to put myself forward as the tech-challenged chap, after all I would be an ideal market profile for the system. Having said that you will need to be aware that a great deal of hand-holding may be necessary and patience and temper may well be thwarted. Additionally, I am in the UK so a convenient timeframe may be problematic. If you are up for it so am I. R-
Dex, I understand your concern, and not discounting your preference. I would suggest we are not a fortune 500 company and have few real security concerns. My wife is actually in IT security for the the second largest network in the world and they depend on zoom. They do use a different version, but zoom just isssued an update for the rest of us. We would setup a session where people have to be admitted, have passwords, etc. We aren't going to find a way everyone loves. Some of us are going to have to compromise or catch up later with something done in another medium. We should have a planning meeting, video or audio in real time. Discord is a great start. Next will be zoom or Hangouts.
Just tried the Installer to install ex to a mega2560 Seems to run ok but At the end I keep getting a failed message. Is there something I am missing. Here is the log. Starting ArduinoSketchUploader... Starting upload process for file 'E:\DCCplus\BaseStationInstaller-alpha-1.2\BaseStationEX\Build\DCCppEX.ino.hex'.

@jbsorocaba Do you have this setup? Do you have DCC++ in any flavor running on this board and using WiFi? Somewhere I remember talking with you or someone else about jumpers on the Mega Wifi.
Can we go ahead and schedule a first meeting for sometime this week? If everyone would put in the times they are available here we'll try to choose a time that works for the most people. http://whenisgood.net/q8esbbj (make sure to select your time zone before selecting times)
Hello i see you are getting an error something is not working properly where it is not building the file hence why it is missing can you confirm that the arduino sdk downloaded properly to the folder. How many times did you attempt this and are you getting any other errors. For faster assistance you can also post directly into the Support Channels on discord https://discord.gg/9zkchDK
Hi FlightRisk I dont have setup for DCC++ on mega wifi. I use a combination of Philipp Gahtow Z21 project, running a a Mega wifi. More info here: https://sites.google.com/site/valerievalleyrr/arduino-projects/a21-ru
That happened with me a while back. Once I moved the location up a couple directories it worked fine. I haven't used it recently but I'd try that first, Sumner
From the responses I received, I would like to call a meeting on Monday the 1st at 11AM eastern time. The meeting will be held in Google Meet unless someone has a better idea. https://calendar.google.com/event?a...dXR0aW5nNDJAbQ&tmsrc=davidcutting42@gmail.com
I have work related commitments at that time so I can't commit fully to join but I will at least try to drop in if I can.
Thanks for organizing this David. I'll join the meeting. Everyone, there is a google doc for the agenda. Whether you can attend or not, please add anything you would like to be covered, and we will follow up to let you know what was discussed: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Zku4oIGBoZ98JiXRar7JWCG6gBHKSCKAypRYZBLYL-k/edit?usp=sharing
Thanks @FlightRisk I am going to try to join the meeting. I have added a small part to the agenda. R-
Hi Gentlemen! I am following your work with great internest and awe. I have a request. Could you consider including Dave Bodnars high power H-bridge soulution in your list of motor boards in the installer? I have built a number of them for myself and my friends as it is simple and working. It should be nice to be able to uppgrade as you guys progress! Thanks in advance! //Martin Skickat från min iPad med Tapatalk
Despite Geoff's best intentions I recommend steering *VERY* clear of that "booster". It is not usable for PROG track despite his markings on the image of it since you have no current sense with which to receive the ACK. Along that same line, if you are needing more than ~5A to the rails I would highly recommend sticking with a commercially made DCC booster.
Here's the link to the meeting for anyone that needs it: https://meet.google.com/pcv-vhtx-bhi we're getting started in the next 15 minutes.
