Using the version 2.3 software on a Gertbot with a RPi B+, after I switch from DCC mode to DC-brushed, the duty cycle always remains at 50% and cannot be changed using the PWM duty cycle command.

After power-cycling the board, the PWM command acts as intended again.

I assume the duty cycle remains under control of a DCC function.

Is this a known bug, and is there a workaround available? For example a reset command to the Gertbot board.

Kind regards,
Maarten M.

I can confirm this behavior.
I have found and fixed the bug. I am working on a new release which will have the bug fix in it.
Excepted to roll out in about a week.
