Title: Mobitec programming help needed
Post by: paulbus on September 02, 2021, 11:20:53 AM
Hi I'm new to this mobitec programming so thought I'd ask you kind people how I can set it up as follows, if I want the driver to just input a route number and then have the choice of destination ie 454 then a list of destinations in this case Woolhope , Fownhope, Holme Lacy or Hereford can it be done, as now we have to have a list of routes with the appropriate numbers, so one route has at least two numbers one for there and one to come back, if you see what I mean.
Using MIE with a mobitec 402 controller
Thanks for any help you can give

You will have to enter each one separately which really is no big deal

I have entered them all individually but as it is I have to give each driver a list of numbers corresponding to each destination it would be far easier if they just entered the service number then selected the right destination I've worked it out on the Hanover blinds but just can't seem to figure out how to do mobitec

I don't know of any way to do that on Mobitec. What you could do is, if the route was numbered 38 for example, have 038 as the first blind, 138 as the second, 238 as the third etc, so that it's easier to remember for the drivers. It wouldn't be practical if you have a large amount of routes and blinds, but for a smaller operator, that system should work imo.
