Darrell,
This is a result of a new 'feature' in the newer command
stations. If track power is off, then when you send some commands,
the commands get buffered by the command station, until it gets
full! (peanut sized buffer) Once it is full, then the command
station barfs and tells JMRI to resend the command. That is what
you are seeing and it will continue until you turn track power on.

Hi hope someone can help with this problem?
Trying
to upgrade to an DCS 210+ from dcs100. ? I have replaced the
command station and set up new 210+, everything works until I
hook up a computer to loconet via usb cable direct into
command centre or usb via PR4. ?Once I hook up to computer I
do a couple switch commands and after a couple of commands the
command station sends out repeating commands over and over.
?At this point the “Net” Status light goes from solid red or
slow blinking red to very fast blinking, the Solid Blue USB
light also goes into a very fast blinking mode. The DS64 I
sent the command to is quickly trying to throw the switch over
and over and over as well. ?My loconet monitoring log looks
like the photo attached. ?If I unplug usb it stops running the
command after a few seconds and command station works again
until I reattach a computer. ? I have tried it with two other
computers, ?a fresh download of Jmri with no previous files
attached, new usb cables, new interface cables to ds64, tried
a new PR4 as well the command station has the same behaviour.
?I did factory reset on command station hooked up a brand new
ds64 and still happens. ?I reinstalled the original command
centre and take the 210+ plus out of the system and the
computer and dcs 100 respond as normal.
?
I
contact the Digitrax help desk and they said they do not
support 3rd party hardware software etc, which I understand,
they went on to suggest I change my JMRI preferences which I
think I have done unless I am missing a step. ?I am open to
ideas and thoughts on this. ?At the moment I have the 210+ and
a Ds64 isolated on my workbench so I can try out any
suggestions thrown my way.
