+ | To complete the D-connector type set of CANBUS Pcboards, this is the DCC Command Station.\\ | ||
+ | It features all that is on the original CAN CMD, but with a few firmware and hardware adaptions to easy interconnect with CAN-GC1 and CAN-GC2.\\ | ||
+ | The CANBUS CAB1 is 100% compatible to be used with this programmer.\\ | ||
+ | The slightly larger CAN-GC5, without SMD parts is available now.\\ | ||

+ | ===== Important changes ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | ^**CBUS Loco direction flag has been changed!**^ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | starting with revision 8778 the loco direction flag is corrected to match the DCC-NMRA standard.\\ | ||
+ | Please swap the loco placing before running in automatic mode after you updated Rocrail to 8778 or higher.\\ | ||

+ | ===== Features ===== | ||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | * Separate supply not needed. That is already available from CAN-GC1. | ||
+ | * It is possible to use CAN-GC3 as stand alone with a 15V dc supply, together with CAN-GC5V2. | ||
+ | * All connections and Leds in front, for easy build in your own housing. | ||
+ | * Booster output. RJ12 connector for connection of **[[: | ||
+ | * RJ22 connector J3 for direct coupling of MERG CAN-CAB or CAN-GC5V2. | ||
+ | * 1A Internal booster, also useable for connection to programming track (J5) | ||

+ | ===== Power button ===== | ||
+ | An optional power button can be added to the ICSP connector on pin 1 (RB7) and pin 5 (Ground).\\ | ||
+ | Pin 1 is closest pin to resistors R1 and R8.\\ | ||
+ | **[[: | ||
+ | This button controls track power and reports this on the CAN BUS to inform Rocrail.\\ | ||

+ | =====Setup===== | ||
+ | The current firmware does not need any configuration.\\ | ||
+ | All Loco, Programming and Booster commands on the CAN BUS are processed by the CAN-GC3.\\ | ||
+ | It is not possible to have multiple CAN-GC3' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====CanID==== | ||
+ | The CAN-GC3, CANCMD, has a fixed CanID:\\ | ||
+ | ^ 114 ^\\ | ||
+ | Avoid using this CanID in other CAN-GCA nodes.\\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | =====Programming Track===== | ||
+ | The CAN-GC3 supports Page mode and Direct mode programming.\\ | ||
+ | Normally Direct mode should be used for common decoders.\\ | ||

+ | |||
+ | ===== Programming power ===== | ||
+ | The standard 12V, coming from CAN-GC1e , is used for programming track as well.\\ | ||
+ | Allthough other programmers often also work with no more that 12V, \\ | ||
+ | it seems that some decoders have a bit of a problem with that.\\ | ||
+ | To solve it, a higher Voltage will be the solution.\\ | ||
+ | For this reason, the VR1 regulator on CAN-GC1e can be swapped with a LM2576T-adj type.\\ | ||
+ | Pot1 on CAN-GC1e is already there and in that case can be used for adjusting the output between 12,5V and 18,5V.\\ | ||
+ | CAN-GC1e will be equipped with the mentioned regulator from this day on.\\ | ||
