The turntable is a new type of accessory that can be added to the accessory list in the accessory menu.
Available in beta test from June 2020, this feature will be finalized based on manufacturer and user feedback. Currently only available from the accessory menu, so do not use it on the following pages: routes, dependencies, dispatcher game.
Add turntable
Open accessory menu, then press + to open the Add new accessory menu.
Enter a name of your choice.
Set the base address of the turntable as the address. Controlling a turntable requires multiple commands sent to consecutive addresses. In order for DigiTrainsPro to send them properly, the smallest base address of the turntable must be set. In this example it is 10. During control, the program will use the 10 and subsequent 22 additional addresses. It is important not to set another accessories to this address.
For Icons, select the “rotating arrow” icon in the image list to tell the program that this accessory is a turntable.
Click Save to display the new device in the list.
Control panel of the turntable
In the list of accessories, click the turntable. A new control panel will open where you can control the turntable with the buttons shown in the following image.
Commands and accessory addresses
The table below shows accessory is set at certain commands (the opposite status command is always sent to that address, because in this mode the status is irrelevant, only the address matters).
