Use JMRI with your NCE system

This units provides a USB interface that connects your laptop into the control bus of your NCE DCC system. You can then run the suite of JMRI tools to control locomotive and accessory programming as well as running trains. Very simple, plug and play, to setup and use.Read full review

NCE 223 USB Interface

I am probably the only human to have a problem with this NCE interface.
I purchased the interface to connect my model railroad to my computer for the purpose of using JMRI software. It did not work for me for the interface would not establish a connection. After several consultations with the JMRI forum , I established that there was a faulty USB jack on the interface. I tried several different cables in order to connect but the only way I could establish a connection was to put hand pressure on the male cable jack when inserting it into the female interface USB jack. Once the pressure was eased, I lost connection. I sent it back to NCE but they told me it worked fine for them and sent it back. I still could not get it to work so I sent it back the second time, and since supposedly they found no problem with it, I just told them to keep it.Read full review

Good product to work with.

Haven't used it yet, but should work fine. In my humble opinion, NCE products have enough features without being loaded down with too much impedimenta.

Should be good

I believe this will make programming decoder’s much easier. I just have to find the right drivers for my computer so it will work.

Works as advertised.

Getting the required software drivers to work can be a little challenging depending on what computer you are interfacing to. It turned out to be easy with Windows 10.

NCE USB interface

Could not get it to hook up with my computer .
It did not plug and play.
I like NCE otherwise but this interface is not for the computer dummies like me.

Does what it's suppose to. The LED's are helpful so I can tell it's working.
