Nice to hear from you Denny! Your experience raises another point: Surge protectors don¡¯t last forever. After enough hits (or a big enough single hit), they¡¯re not ¡°protecting¡± any more. This

I would highly recommend a whole surge protector be installed in their house. I believe that it saved my major electrical components for the lightening strike at my house. Both neighbors on either

A 240v power surge in January fried almost everything in the house not on surge protectors. The latter did their jobs well, but gave up their lives in the process. Denny Sacramento Denny S. Anspach MD

Thanks for the help. The solution definitely had to do with profiles. When I got to ¡°set active profile¡± and selected another I had created much earlier when starting with the program. The old

Open up decoderpro, select engine in question and right click. On the menu about half way down will be something like "media and functions". Select that and you'll get a window where you can label

Bill, JMRI is probably hanging up because it's trying to connect but can't. I'd suggest setting up a profile (or modifying an existing profile, if you have one) with one of the simulators selected as

Billybob, Yes, that makes a lot of sense! I was checking out all the signal head types in JMRI and "Quad" seemed to be a type that would work, but it had four spots in which to enter turnout addresses

Does your WiFi interface have an ip address when the computer isn't connected to the network? Does your computer run dhcp for the phones that will be trying to connect?

You could also try DigiTrains (by Gyori Belazs) which also works on Android and talks to JMRI. I have both DigiTrains and Engine Driver on my phone, so I can use whichever I feel like. Ian Morgan
