Firmware for LokPilot decoders

Here you will find firmware files to update your decoders. Thus you are able to upgrade new functions. To do this you need the LokProgrammer.

You have to be sure that the LokSound decoder and the LokProgrammer communicate properly with each other. Please check this while starting the LokProgrammer software, reading out the CVs of the loco and then transmit new data onto the decoder. If any problems should occur in the meanwhile, it could help to remove the decoder from the loco to make an update.
Usually the update leaves all CV settings unaffected, only the decoder firmware will be updated. However, we recommend you to make a backup of your data with the help of the LokProgrammer before making an update.  
An imcomplete or discontinued update will lead to a disfunction of your decoder. But it is possible to restart the update at any time.

Please note that all upgrades are carried out at your own risk. Any damages of the decoder, the corresponding locos or any other eqipment will not be accepted as a case of warranty. In the case of need we have to charge you for the repair of the decoder.

    • Märklin Braking mode (not for LokPilot V2.0 DCC) will work even when the decoders is commanded using DCC protocol.
    • Usin CV124 Bit 7 the user can disable the brightness control of the lamps when the decoder ist used on conventional (DC or AC) layouts.
    • Using CV 124 Bit 6 the user can disable the PWM control of the motor output when the decoder is used on conventional layouts.
    • New CV 224: By writing the value "10" in CV 224, the user can disable the overcurrent protection for the function outputs. By doing so, the user can use old bulbs and prevent the flickering lights when the bulbs are "cold".
