Hornby R7322 HM7000-21TXS: Bluetooth® & DCC Sound Decoder (21-pin) - Hornby Accessories for 00 Gauge Track & Train Sets - Compatible with Select Hornby Model Trains

Der etwas andere Decoder! Aus meiner Sicht eine sehr gelungenes Produkt!

I note some users report issues including defective units, luckily for me I have had a good outcome. Bought as my first sound decoder, I removed the basic dcc decoder I had fitted to my Bachman 3F 0-6-0 loco, and after realising I was trying to plug in upside down duh! added the Hornby module and plugged in the sugar cube speaker. I was using a Bachman dcc controller. Using iPhone the app installed, signed in and it quickly found the device on bluetooth. I created a profile and uploaded a photo of the Fowler 3F, run the updates to the firmware. I selected out the nearest steam loco profile for a 4F loco, and loaded it on took about 15-20min. Has worked brilliantly with intuitive controls has lots of fun. Selected the largest speaker box and superglued onto the weight plate in the tender, snug fit, coiled wire around box and the tender went back together. Sound quality excellent. Impressed with switch over between dcc manual control and bluetooth, works without issue. Its been 3 days no issues.

Permet d'obtenir une machine digitale sonore à un prix très intéressant ; fichier sonore gratuit sur Hornby.com ainsi que l'application HMDCC. Bonus : l'application me permet de reconnaître et piloter toutes mes machines quelque soit la marque du décodeur avec ma centrale HORNBY et un d'ongle bluetooth acheté également sur Amazon pour environ 35€.

Perfect addition to my layout

I have installed 2 of these and the associated Dongle and with current firmware (April 2024) everything is working as expected. The same for my HM7000-fitted TT:120 locomotive. I can only speculate why other users are having problems but it could be the result of poor installation. I have used Kapton tape to eliminate the possibility of contact with any live parts of the locomotive circuit. It could a be poor power supply. I use an old Hornby Elite controller but any standard DCC supply will work. It could be slow broadband. It takes me less than 10 minutes to change or update a profile. It could be dirty track as that always causes problems. It could be a lack of knowledge on how to set up DCC CV values. The app helps with this. I honestly do not know what it is. All I can say for certain is that HM7000 is working for me, and reliably so. The app is easy to use and gives the easiest way of setting up CV values that I have encountered, and I have used JMRI as well as my old Hornby Elite. The firmware is easy to update. The sound profiles are easy to update. It can take a bit of ingenuity to fit the optimum speaker enclosure but there are some good video examples from the usual online sources. There are better sound profiles out there and better synchronised steam "chuff" sounds, but at a price. You will have to decide if it is worth the extra cost. When properly installed and set up, the HM7000 decoders in my experience are excellent value.
