Hello Everyone,
I have an NCE PowerPro connected to a Dell laptop (Win10)?using a serial-USB adapter cable.? Command station version is 19:08 Mar 1, 2007C.? I have had intermittent luck connecting to DecoderPro/PanelPro; to try and fix it I just upgraded to JMRI version 4.16 and still have the problem.
When I start PanelPro, if the system finds the COM port (which is about half the time, but I think that's another issue), I get the green "connected" message at the bottom of the DecoderPro/Roster screen.? However, after about 30 seconds it drops the connection and I get the red "not connected" message.? I've checked baud rate (9600 in both the command station and JMRI) and?NCE's AIU Broadcast (off).? JMRI is set to NCE command station version 2006 or later.? I read the recent NCE USB thread but that seemed to apply to the USB-PowerCab system.
Please help!? Here is the system log from my last attempt:
