Re: Disconnect between signal aspect showing on JMRI and ACTUAL signal aspect on layout #nce

Ken C, Gentlemen,

Further to my issue, when I run a loco around the loop with only 1 action being triggered by 1 sensor at a time, thereby spacing out the commands, then all is fine and everything updates as expected; but if a JMRI LOGIX says to do, say, 3 or more things simultaneously [if x, then v, w, x, y, etc..] then as then commands come in rapid succession, that is when signal aspect updates get missed.?

Hi Ken,

I'm running the signals as [to quote the NCE Light-it documentation], "Using the Light-it as an NRMA conforming signal decoder". Thus they are programmed [addressed] under 'signal address programmimg' [as per NCE instructions].

You're correct. I could use an NCE switch-it [or Switch 8] to do the job. And it does require two accessory addresses for a 3 aspect signal.?

Some time ago I did some testing with the now retired TAM Valley LEDcoder. It worked okay, but then NCE finally brought out their 'Light-it' decoders that would operate on the alternative set of signal addresses. [Should be much more digitally efficient.]

Nimble,

One thing I should have asked was which configuration did you have the Light-It using? My memory seems to say that using it via the signal aspect method is the more reliable way to use it. That means one appearance is one aspect using a single command per board. I recall that when configured as an accessory decoder, and two commands to the same board go out back to back, it tends to miss the second command.

Others may have a better memory of possible solutions.
