ASCII Protocol

The Zimo support is very poor when using the ASCII protocol because it does not provide any way to get sensor events which is a K.O. criterion for running Rocrail in auto mode.
It is only possible if you add a second controller, like the HSI88, to get the needed events.

Supported Loco Decoder Protocols

  • DCC Short (N)
  • Märklin (M)

Supported Accessory Decoder Protocols

  • Default (Z)
  • NMRA-DCC (N)
  • Märklin (M)

Firmware Version 2
