ducman998r Posted October 16, 2008 Share #8 Posted October 16, 2008 its not really a computer... just a box that can be programed with 2 digits representing preset letter. I.e 01=A 03=C and so forth. Its in all the T/O cabs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zman Posted October 17, 2008 Share #11 Posted October 17, 2008 How does a C/r or t/o change the LED roll signs on the R44/46 and the front/back R32/38 LEDs if there is no computer to a the route/destinations and finally how would they add new routes and destinations to them There is a keyboard box inside the 44/46 cab. The C/R or T/O has to enter the passcode, then enter the proper sign code (anywhere from 1 to 4 digits) in order to display the proper sign. New routes and destinations can be programmed into the system via a cable and a laptop. The 32/38 end sign is simple technology. It's a twirl-a-whirl dial with A-Z, 0-9, test and blank on it. You turn the dial to the setting you want and voilà. Obviously you can't add new signs onto this type of outmoded technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducman998r Posted October 17, 2008 Share #12 Posted October 17, 2008 wat about the 44/46 LEDs? same thing - the codes go from 1-99. Line routes are also in there as well. The boxes are a little different than the 32/38s though. Ill get a picture of them tomorrow if I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks and ducman998r too- I didnt notice that Would the R44/46 take maybe the same LEDs from the 142s and later? or those need computers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATCOman Posted October 17, 2008 Share #15 Posted October 17, 2008 IIRC, the ones in the R44/46 are similar to the sign controls in a bus. I remember seeing a pic of the R32/38 controls before, but I forgot where it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted October 17, 2008 Share #16 Posted October 17, 2008 New routes and destinations can be programmed into the system via a cable and a laptop. Are you familiar with the interface that the system uses to communicate? Is it just a serial connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
