¿ªÔÆÌåÓý? I¡¯m assuming that you know to look at the Device Manager on the computer for the LocoBuffer connecting, and establishing a COM port ???? If that¡¯s not appearing to work, then¡.? ? Are the ports on the computer all USB-3 ??? I¡¯ve had issues with numerous older USB devices not working correctly on USB-3 ports.?? If stuck with all of them being USB-3, then I¡¯ve found that sometimes a USB-2 port repeater/hub will help (one USB to the main computer, the repeater/hub has four USB ports).?? ? ? -?????????

I¡¯ve hit a road block establishing communication between JMRI and a Digitrax DCS100 using a LocoBuffer-USB interface.? This is a new installation in a computer replacing a recently failed unit.? ? After extensive trouble shooting, including a lengthy telephone trouble shooting consultation with Dick Bronson (RR-CirKits), I believe the issue is with the computer.? ? The trouble shooting has covered all of the ¡®usual suspects;¡¯? JMRI Configuration and Preferences; COM port confirmation, etc.?? Dick had me re-install the LocoBuffer-USB drivers (after removing them using a utility posted on the RR-CirKits web site).? ? The ¡®Monitor LocoNet Stats¡¯ window is blank.? The LocoBuffer is ¡®seeing¡¯ LocoNet activity per the flashing red LED when throttle commands are sent.? This would seem to indicate we are not getting communication between the computer and LocoBuffer.? Several different USB ports were tried; 3 different LocoBuffers were tried.? (The USB ports work with a wireless keyboard and mouse.) ? I substituted a different computer (MS Surface Pro 6 running WIN10 Pro) ?and successfully communicated with the DCS100 with 2 of the 3 LocoBuffers.? (I didn¡¯t try the 3rd LocoBuffer but have no reason to believe it wouldn¡¯t work.) ? Dick and I are at a loss and he suggested I post here to see if anybody has any additional thoughts.? I¡¯m open to any additional ¡®outside-the-box¡¯ ideas. ? Ross Kudlick ? ? Details: HP ProDesk 600 G1 SFF? (off-lease refurb) WIN 10 Pro 10.0.18362 JMRI 4.17.9?
