Trying to get the shield to work but there is little to no documentation on the onboard shield jumpers. The YouTube videos seem to be only documentation. Using the Loconet Control Panel - simple demo sketch. Got sketch to control the LED using the 2 push buttons but can't send or receive any DCC packets. Suspect I have either not specified the correct Loco pins in the sketch or that the on-shield jumpers are not set correctly.
It looks like You got the wrong shield. Ask the seller for support.
Documentation is A and O. Without that You fight ghosts.

Welcome to the forum
Did you make the required changes to the config.h file ?
Which libraries are you using and do they come with any documentation ?
Please post your full sketch, using code tags when you do
In my experience the easiest way to tidy up the code and add the code tags is as follows
Start by tidying up your code by using Tools/Auto Format in the IDE to make it easier to read. Then use Edit/Copy for Forum and paste what was copied in a new reply. Code tags will have been added to the code to make it easy to read in the forum thus making it easier to provide help.
Hello
Sorry for delay in replying but I had eye surgery yesterday and can't do too much yet.
I am just getting started with the project and bought a Tinkerface Arduino Interface Shield. Only documentation seems to be YouTube videos. Seems like relevant video is How to use the LocoNet Interface (Video#64).
I thought I would start with a vanilla sketch based on the Loconet example code titled “Loconet Control Panel”. When I got that working I would then add code from a previously successfully implemented sketch that controlled turnouts using a singe push button.
After I got your message I realized I had not change the configuration file. Onec I did that the example code not seems to work. THANK YOU>
My next step is to merge my sketch with the example code.
Thanks again
