Computer Coding of DCC Decoders

[salbibona]

What is an economical software program and hardware interface to program DCC decoders by computer?

Many people, including myself, use JMRI DecoderPro, which is open source software that's free!

They also have something called PanelPro that's supposed to let you run your layout from a computer. I haven't tried it, so can't comment on how well it does or doesn't work.

JMRI's webpage can be found at: http://jmri.sourceforge.net/help/en/html/apps/index.shtml

The hardware you'll need will depend on which DCC system you're using.

stand alone programmers like the Digitrax PR-3 or SPROG
do not have to be connected to a DCC system to program with decoder pro.
Either with power supply run $80-100.
