Hello Bob - thanks for this.
You are correct - therre is a communications problem between JMRI and the layout; I have bypassed the EB1 and the problem remains. ?I can see nothing wrong with the preferences - indeed if I change any of them I get a red error message. ?I must admit that I don't really understand the other settings so wouldn't know whether or not they are correct but I have not chnged any of them since I last used JMRI. ?Using the cabs, everything wroks correctly so the connections between them and the layout must be correct. ?Regarding connections from the computer, there is a USB cable to the interface; from the interface there is a coiled cable to a splitter that connects to the SB3a and the Procab. ?I have heard that the splitter can cause a problem so I removed it and connected the coiled cable direct to the SB3a - made no difference. ?I use the Powercab as a handset as well as for the programming track and that is plugged into the left port of the UTP panel (which is connected to the SB3a by the supplied cable).
The mystery continues - which is a pity as I was hoping to persuade a couple of friends of the benefits of JMRI and Engine Driver later this week.
Harold.

I have not used JMRI for several months and the only chnage to my layout since its last use is the introduction of NCE EB1 circuit breaker. Since fitting the EB1, I have been able to operate everything with my Power/Pro Cab and SB3a booster but now find that I cannot operate anything through JMRI. JMRI loads properly; there are no error codes or messages in red; I can display the panel and the roster but cannot get either the throttles or the points to work. On screen, the points change but nothing happens on the layout - equally, the throttle functions highlight and the slider works but nothing moves. Can anyone iddentify the problem and tell me how to overcome it pleas?
This sounds like a communications problem between JMRI and the layout.
How do you have them connected?
Check the JMRI preferences to make sure that they¡¯re still set to the right port, NCE settings, etc.
