I just purchased an Athearn G79138 caboose with DCC lighting. The default address of this car is 3, which conflicts with another engine on my layout. I’ve been searching on the Athearn website on how to change the address of the caboose. My DCC controller is a Bachmann E-Z Command Plus. The only info for changing addresses is for locomotives. Do I use those directions on my Bachmann controller to change the address of the caboose?
I was able to change the address on the caboose using the instructions that came with the E-Z Command controller. Now I need to understand the relationship between CV values and Function assignments, if there is any.
I am relatively new to DCC but hrre is how i understand it. My one of the more experienced guys can correct me if i am wrong. Configuration Values (CVs) are settings in the decoder. They contain the different things and stuff the docoder can do. Function assignments allow you to change what button on your controller activates what function from the decoder.
