I guess this? post is mostly an observation report rather than a problem report but maybe a function update can come from it.
Our club system is Digitrax, DSC200 command station, DCS200 and DCS100 as boosters, PM42s, DS64s controlling Tortoises, SE8cs and RR CirKits Watchman and Tower Controller 64s all on Loconet.? We use JMRI PanelPro to control signals.? Each turnout in the controlled area is driven by a DS64 port, they are all given usernames in PanelPro and all are listed in the Turnouts table.
Using WiThrottle and Engine Driver on my Android phone I can select and control those turnouts.
Recently we have added an expansion to the layout and there are 4 Tortoises controlled by a DS64 that are part of the expansion.? These are not part of the controlled area of the layout (yet) so they are not in the Turnouts table.? All that preamble to say, I tried? using Engine Driver to control those 4 new turnouts and while Engine Driver shows the status change and remembers it, the commands to the Loconet to actually operate the turnouts are never generated.? Only if the turnouts are stored in the Turnouts table can I control them from Engine Driver via WiThrottle.
I don't know whether it was a reasonable expectation that I could control the turnouts or not but given the conditions explained, they cannot be controlled.?
My simple solution was to enter the turnouts in the Turnout table and save it.
