Digitization of the BB 27134M Lineas

 

I largely followed a previous post about the digitization of a BB 27000 from Mehano. The main difference here is that I'm working from a blank decoder. 

The model

This BB 27134M Lineas is a model from Rails Models Creation based on a Fret BB 427000 from Mehano. The livery is specific to Lineas and the buffer sections have been modified with spare parts from Os.Kar.

Here's the prototypical engine for reference:

The decoder

I chose a blank decoder from ESU - ESU 58420 LokSound V5 DCC, 8-Pin, Sound Decoder

The sound project

The ESU website hosts numerous sound projects for ESU decoders. They are organized by decoder version, regions, and manufacturer or personal project.

I downloaded this project: S0294-LS5H0M4-Elok-SNCF-BB27000-V1-R1.esux

The LokProgrammer

From there, it is a matter of writing this project into the blank decoder. You can double click on the file (*.esux) and it will open in the LokProgrammer software:

We can check that sounds are available:

The functions are nicely mapped already:

We can adjust the information as needed:

We can now adjust the digital address and write the data with the sound. I only need to use that one button:

Writing sound data will take some time:

And the final result

This worked very smoothly; see below:
