For convenient parallel operation of multiple locos on the track, the List View can also be used for controlling the locos. Simply touch on any of the locomotives in the list to activate it for control (red background). As soon as the loco is shown with red background, its speed and direction is adjustable with the speed controller. Pressing Select at the same time when adjusting the speed, the speed change is done in steps of +/-10. Touching a second time on a loco that’s already activated for control will open the Locomotive View. Pressing Select on a loco that’s already activated for control will disable the control mode and switch back to select mode.

Create a new locomotive

A new locomotive can only be created with the help of the List View. To do so, scroll down to the end of the list and press the entry. ARC1 will automatically assign the next available number to the new loco, which of course can be manually changed later on if desired. Configuring the locomotive settings is done in the same way than editing locomotive settings.

Edit a locomotive

To edit a locomotive, you first have to open the Locomotive View of the desired loco. The icon in the navigation bar then opens the locomotive settings. Use the speed controller to select the desired setting (grey background), then use Select to activate the setting for adjustment (red background). If a setting is activated for adjustment, the speed controller toggles through the available options. The following locomotive settings can be adjusted:

After the adjustment of a setting is done, press Select again to switch back to setting selection. Press in the navigation bar to save your changes, press to discard the changes and return to Locomotive View.

Delete a locomotive

To delete a locomotive, you first have to open the Locomotive View of the desired loco. The icon in the navigation bar then opens the locomotive settings. To delete the loco, press the icon in the navigation bar and either confirm or cancel the process with or in the upcoming dialog.

Important: ARC1 currently does not support decoder feedback, thus all CV values shown on the display are either the default values or recently programmed values. Thus, the shown values do not necessarily correspond to the real CVs of the decoder.

Depending on the CV, some values are easier provided in binary form (e.g. CV29) while others are easier provided in decimal form.

Set decimal value

If a CV is programmed by a decimal value and activated for adjustment (red background), the value can be adjusted with the speed controller.

Set bitwise value

If a CV is programmed bit by bit and activated for adjustment (red background), the speed controller is used to select the desired bit first. Pressing Select toggles between editing the bit value (0 or 1) with the speed controller or selecting another bit.

Apply and confirm programming

To apply the changes and program the CV value to the locomotive’s decoder, press the icon in the navigation bar and either confirm or cancel the process with or in the upcoming warning dialog. Cancelling the dialog with brings you back to CV adjustment, confirming the dialog will start the programming sequence.

Reset to decoder factory settings

To reset the decoder CV values to their factory default settings, select the first entry (“RESET”) of the CV list. If you select RESET with Select, it is first shown with red background and requires pressing to confirm. A warning will appear and requires a second confirmation with to reset the decoder CVs.

Important: Resetting the decoder CVs to factory settings requires operation of DCC in Service Mode. It is strongly recommended to use a dedicated “programming”-track on your model railroad with no other locomotives and electrical loads instead of your regular tracks. Please also note that the decoder reset is not performed immediately within the decoder and requires a power cycle.
