YD7001, JMRI and iTrain

 

I wonder if anyone has had success in combining the YD7001, JMRI and iTrain together. All 3 want to use LocoNet but some refuse to connect saying the com port is already in use.
Why do I need all 3 apps running?
The YD7001 wifi server does not support latching or unlatching function keys. The JMRI server does. The wifi controllers I use do not have latching/unlatching toggles so i need the controller to do this. I use a UWT100. Not having latching configurable is fairly important with my Tsunami2 decoders.
I have paid for iTrain so I intend to use it to run unit trains!

Running the YD7001 app first then starting JMRI gives a com port-in-use error. For me at least the Human(c)ity experience is different. How weird.
So why post in the YaMoRC forum here? :) it's because the YD7001 has the LAN connection and I don't have to have its wifi turned on.
My next attempt will be to put an ethernet switch in and connect the computer and the YD7001 together that way. I believe I still need the USB/Com port to configure the YD7001?
 

Think you need a port splitter app to generate separate com ports as each needs its own.

I have Train Controller, JMRI, Loconet Checker, CML all connected at the same time via a PR4 all using the same Loconet data but each uses a separate com port to connect.

I am able to use my DR5000 via Loconet from multiple machines and with multiple different software packages, but using the LAN connection, not the USB connection. Doing things this way, commands from one machine result in updates being propagated to all the attached machines.

Sharing USB connections is tricksy, but the LAN connection is easy to share.

Yours, Mike.

I can also connect to my Z21 system using iTrain, Z21 Maint App, and JMRI simultaneously with each one seeing updates from the others as they happen.

Mike, my favorite answer ?

It comes even better: All LocoNet connection: LAN Binary, LAN LBServer, LAN Z21-Loconet, USB LocoNet and the Physical LocoNet (B&T) all get all traffic distributed aka routed !

So where ever you connect to LocoNet it will be presented the same data.

And yes, the only Multi-Peer connections are the LAN Binary and LAN LBServer. In the DR5000 ( with RM04 network module ) the LAN Z21-LocoNet is Single-Peer. In the YD7001 with YD9401 network module, also LAN Z21-LocoNet is Multi-Peer.

USB is alway Single-Peer, the physical LocoNet of course is also Multi-Peer ;)?

?

But... it comes EVEN BETTER.? Also other Protocols like Lenz XpressNet-LAN, YD.Command and WiThrottle are internally routed inside the YD7001. So e.g. a Turnout-Command from XpressNet to the YD7001 is also propagated to LocoNet ( with all it's connections ) in the LocoNet way.
