It's very frustrating in fast-moving technology markets. In my work I delayed more than one big deployment based on something supposedly just around the corner which never came. However, I have that nagging feeling that this is one of those "next great thing" technology situations where it's mostly talk at this point and usable product might show-up in some nebulous future. If LCC is close enough to be thinking there will be actual product within, say, about six months or so, I can start construction under a simpler plan with a single DCC network, then breakout the non-train components on an LCC bus later. My game plan for the GC&W was a mixed bag of DCC hardware and networks, with three separate networks - track/train power, signals (etc.), and then Tam Valley LocoNet decoders for turnout control. Obviously my bringing this up and asking about LCC is self-serving. Is anybody else besides NMRA talking about LCC? Did anybody go to the convention and go to one of the LCC clinics? Are there hints of anything on the horizon for LCC? I couldn't find any discussion in the JMRI Yahoo group about LCC, but frankly I wasn't looking very hard. ![]() ![]() ![]() It's not much - just a bus power injector and CANbus terminators - but if he's doing that already then (IMO only) then he's probably getting ready to jump ship from his Simple Serial Bus to be first in line with LCC encoders or gateways, and decoders. Gary mentioned in the RR-CirKits thread that Dick (Bronson) has just released LCC products.
