I use it in conjunction with JMRI. Take a 2 foot piece of track, connect the Sprog to it with alligator clips, and you can sit at your computer and program the engine. It’s a lot easier than using your handheld punching in CV”s one at a time.

Even pesky blue line locos are a little easier to do.

It gives full CV readback and stores all you loco information in a database so you can see what value each CV has for each loco in your roster.

Should you wish to run a layout with the SPROG then consider a Bachmann pass through booster for 5 amps or even CVP USA’s Zone master booster for a whopping 7amps of power.

Ultimately it’s JRMI that makes the SPROIG so handy, with out it it’s just a small low power DCC command system with no controller.

Hopefully this convinces you that it is almost invaluable for programming locos.
