## Pi-SPROG 3

Available as a firmware upgrade to the original Pi-SPROG One, the Pi-SPROG 3 turns a Raspberry Pi module into a fully fledged stand-alone DCC programmer and command station.

## SPROG 3 Plus and Pi-SPROG Plus

DCC command stations and programmers with integrated CBUS® adapters (no need for a separate USB - CAN adapter) and dual track outputs.

Features

- Two track outputs allow simultaneous running and programming.
- Main track output up to 2.5 Amps
- Flexible second track output features:
  - Up to 2.5 Amp output
  - Can be disabled when not programming
  - Can follow main track output when not programming allowing locos to be driven onto an isolated programming track.
  - Can be used as an auto-reverse power district output (no service mode programming available in this mode.
- CAN interface (to be enabled in a future firmware release) for full CBUS connectivity.

## CANISB Isolated USB CAN adapter

A electrically isolated USB CAN adapter that removes any electrical connection between the host computer's USB interface and the CBUS network.
