Micron MR001c DSM2/DSMX Receiver for Land-Based Vehicles


Micron MR001c 2.4GHz DSM2/DSMX Receiver

MR001c is a small (30 x 18 x 11mm) 8 output DSM2/DSMX compatible receiver for model railway use. It combines the features of the previous MR001a and MR001b receivers.

MR001c is suitable for use in live-steam and large battery electric locos. It can drive speed controllers, servos and LEDs (auto-directional lights and manually switched from the transmitter). The dimensions allow it to fit easily into many 32/45mm steam or diesel locomotives.

The voltage range is 3.45V to 8.4V so is best powered from a 4 or 5 cell NiMH battery for live-steam or from the 5V BEC speed controller output for battery electric locos. If you need to power from a single LiPo cell, a 5V or 6V booster may be used.

MR001c is compatible with all Micron model rail transmitters, with Deltang transmitters and Spektrum stick-type aicraft transmitters (e.g. DX6). Selecta is supported for use with Tx22 and Tx24 type transmitters. Selecta is disabled by default but easily enabled using the supplied jumper plug. MR001c must be bound to a transmitter before use and will automatically enter bind mode if a previously bound transmitter signal is not found within 5 seconds of switch on. A jumper plug placed across signal pins 5 & 7 will force MR001c into bind mode immediately after switch-on.

7 outputs are available at the front of the receiver using standard 0.1 inch pitch JR/Futaba pins and there are 3 outputs at the rear: one on a central JST-ZH socket and 2 on an optional Molex Picoblade socket. All outputs can be configured for servo or 0V/3.3V switched, the standard configuration provides 5 servo outputs and 2 directional LED outputs. (other configurations of servo and switched outputs can be provided to special order).

The current firmware is 1.0 and the current programming table is 1.0. See Version Info for other versions.

MR001c has 10 outputs:

  • P1..P7: 7 x JR style pin sets at the front
  • P8: JST-ZH 2 pin socket at rear
  • P9, P10: Molex Picoblad socket at rear
Each output can be configured for servo or on/off switched. The pre-loaded configurations are shown below. Unless otherwise specified when the receiver was ordered, config 1 is enabled by default. The other loaded configurations can be selected using a power-on jumper change or `by programming.
