Locked Re: Operations: Flipping E/L at end of train, without using staging yard

 

Stefan,

I would go with option 2.? But leave your storage shelves as yards. Now when a car returns to your i/c yard, the load state will flip, and you can place that car and load into storage as is, or depart with the new load state.

If you need to, you could later add schedules to your "yard" spur tracks if you want your cars to have custom loads when they depart the yard, or you want to control the load state "L" or "E" for certain cars.

The FTDI chipset-based adapter sold by ESU dealers for ~$30 as a spare part for their LokProgrammer has proved very reliable on all platforms, as has the very similar?UN8-BE sold by RRCirKits. I use the ESU ones on Mac, Windows and Linux.

I haven't used a Pi, but it has been reported that the FTDI cables work fine with the Pi without any need for any driver installation (a suitable driver is already installed).

Hi!
I know this may be an odd question.
Did you set all options under the consist tab to "Use Consist Address"?
That allows the consist address to control all of the functions.

Tim,

I added the missing block name between the top left and center masts and the connection information re-appeared. I deleted and re-generated the SML and the 4 masts now work as expected.

The block boundary for mast "UM 5 / 1 : 3" is after the turnout. This means that turnout SW03 only affects mast "UM 1:1 / 5¡±.

My policy is that turnouts get their own block assignment. This provides 3 block boundaries for attaching signal masts that protect the turnout.

Before trying to setup dispatcher, it works best to have the blocks and signal masts completed and working. Since I normally am running in simulation mode, I add the occupancy sensors to the panel. This facilities the signal testing.

Think of this as layers: track > blocks > signaling > sections > transits. Each layer should be complete before moving to the next one.

There is also a tool in the signal mast logic table to generate sections and the direction sensors for each section based on the SML.

Locked Re: Engine Driver Suggestion

 

I am looking at the possibility of having a stab at implementing this. (I that sounds non-committal... it is.)?

I need to decide:
- if it is reasonable to try to implement this in Engine Driver (ED) - Which will be Steve's call
- if it practical to implement in ED
- if I am capable of implementing it?
- how it would work?

If I do try (and that is a very big if) it would:?
- be generic, and would work for any decoder. It would in fact totally ignore the brake functions of the decoder if it has them
- be one of the optional throttle screens, so if you weren't interested you would never see it.?
- would NOT be an attempt at a full emulator / simulator


I would like to get some idea of how many people would be interested in this functionality??

The AutoEngineer sets the speed of the train by the "Controlling Signal"
It uses a different process depending on whether you use Signal Masts (Signal Mast Logic (SML)) or SIgnal Heads (Simple Systems Logic(SSL)).
If using using SML, the speed is set by using the "Controlling Mast" and the previous "Controlling Mast" and uses the lesser of the two.
So if you have a train train that passes a signal if that signal is "Proceed" and the next signal ahead (the controlling Signal Mast) is "Caution" it slows to the speed defined by "Caution" in preferences->warrents. if the signal ahead is "Stop" it slows to a stop using what ever stopping algorithm is you have set, stopping sensor, speed profile, length etc.

In SSL it only looks at the Signal Head in ahead of it.

The aspect of the signal is set in SML by finding the minimum speed of all the blocks and turnouts between the the two masts, that is the slowest speed encountered between the mast in front of the train and the next one. If both those masts are green, or proceed or whatever aspect the signal system you are using, and you ask the train the pause on entering the block it will decelerate quickly, in which case setting a lower speed with an action on entering the previous block is valid.
Another way is to set the speed of the stopping block to a slower speed.?
Another way is to define the section with station as a safe section, and run the train by safe sections, then the signal at the end of the platform will be red and therefore the previous one would be caution. There is? a bug here if you use auto generated sections which will be fixed in the next 4.13.x release.)

But what ever you do make sure that the warrant preference are set to you liking and the scale is correct for both the panel and the warrants. If you use a signal system that uses different words for the aspects and you have not defined that aspect in warrants there will be a warning in the log.

Hope that's clearer than mud, but maybe not.

  • Added IX prefixes to Logix and Conditional system names that had numeric system names.

The numeric system names cause Tools >> Tables entries to disappear.

Locked Re: Engine Driver Suggestion

 

The base issue here is how to customize for each decoder type.
I use lots of Loksound. Some with FT (Brakes, etc.) and some without.
I also have lots of older Tsunami, which run and sound great, no brake or fancy new features.
Combine that with non-sound Loks, one Zimo Lok, and various others, including some QSI factory decoders, and you have to do custom setups for each throttle you create.
I for one do NOT want to customize ED for a specific decoder type. Just go to the roster entry in JMRI and set the function labels to match the decoder definitions. Brake shows up for brake function for that Lok. No brake button, you have not set that up, or not available on that decoder.

Set button label, or customize the look and feel of the whole app? Answer is obvious for me.
If you want to do or have something like that, please do, but name it something else, not generic Engine Throttle.

Just my opinion.

Regarding question 1,? when the throttle goes to idle it is the same as issuing a speed step 0 command and the momentum functionality takes over.

In WiThrottle, ?the IDLE button between FWD and REV does exactly that. I have no reason to doubt that the very similar buttons in Engine Driver do the same.

In JMRI throttles, the red dot between the two direction arrows does the same.

When the brake level is applied, the value in CV61 is used to accelerate the end of the momentum feature.?? For Soundtraxx Tsunami decoders there are multiple CVs that work in conjunction to simulate braking:
????? CV4 - Baseline braking rate?? (emulating momentum of the moving mass of a train when the throttle is at idle)
????? CV61 - F11 Braking rate when the F11 button is pressed. The throttle is set to 0, forcing the decoder to decelerate to a stop eventually.? This value is a subtraction or addition offset to CV4 depending on the sign of the value is CV61.

Econami decoders use CV4 and CV117? (see excellent article at .?? For whatever reason Econami and Tsunami use different CVs for the F11 brake rate offset.?? Go figure.

I hope I got this right, my apologies in advance if something is amiss.?? I did do my research.

QSI decoders use F7 and don't override the throttle.

Older LokSound decoder projects effectively halved the value in CV4, but didn't override the throttle.

LokSound Full Throttle projects introduced an "Independent Brake" feature that does override the throttle. I can't remember which key it is assigned to but suspect Greg's suggestion of F10.

The latest LokSound firmware introduces an new CV (179 from memory) that is used instead of half-CV4.

The majority of SoundTraxx users I know remap the brake to F7.

If not all locos in a consist use identical decoder brands, versions and settings you have a problem.

Such is (at least some of) the situation out there.

Locked JMRI and Sound Traxx.

Roger T
 

I've bought an Athearn Genesis 2-802 with a Sound Traxx decoder and am
having problems with a few sound FX using JMRI, mostly to do with levels.

I am used to program the Bachmann decoders which allow you to set levels for
various FX but it seems this is not possible for the Sound Traxx decoder.

Other than the whistle and the bell, I like my sound FX to be barely audible
from four to five feet away as, in HO scale, that seems more realistic.
However, using JMRI it's only possible to set the over all sound levels
which with a Sound Traxx decoder means the chuff FX becomes mushy and barely
audible. While I like the whistle to be loud, I like the bell to be audible
over the other FX but not as loud as the whistle.

I'm not used to programming individual CVs so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Locked Re: Train speed using sensors and Dispatcher

 

Graham,

You can use Actions to control your auto train including slowing for a station stop. Actions can be set in the Transit table for any Section included in the Transit. Below is an excerpt from the Transit table Help page regarding Actions. One of the "What"'s you can do is Set Train Speed; another is Ramp Train Speed, to any speed setting above about 20%. There is also a Pause Action if you want the train to stop.

You can also set the Ramp Rate for an auto train when you select New Train in the Dispatcher window. One of the settings available is Slow. Also take a look at the Ramp Increment setting in Dispatcher Options.

By using the Action: Pause with the "When" set for Section Entry with a delay of some number of seconds (milliseconds in the Action window) and also adjusting the setting for Ramp Rate you can achieve very realistic station stops.

Transits support a variety of?Actionsthat automatically happen when a Train is run through the Transit in Automatic mode. One or more?Actionsmay be specified with each Section in the Transit.?Actionare initiated when their associated Section in the Transit is entered by the Automatically run Train.

I recently converted my N Scale layout from DC to DCC. I installed a Digitrax DSC240 Advance Command Station with Digitrax LNWI Loconet Wifi Interface.
I downloaded JMRI Panel Pro and Decoder Pro 4.10 Software and installed it on my MacBook Pro running OSX 10.10.2 Yosemite
I purchased, downloaded and installed WiThrottle on my iPad.
The Digitrax DSC240 Advance Command Station is connected to an isolated programming track per the manual. The WiThrottle is connected via the Digitrax LNWI Loconet Wifi Interface.

I'm having two issues:
1. I cannot program any locomotives on the isolated programming track.
The JMRI Decoder Pro software is giving me the prompt: "Programmer error. Programmer busy (302)" (See JPEG image below)
The WiThrottle JMRI webpage states:
302 ¡ª programmer busyThe command station has reported that it's busy doing something else, and can't do any programming right now.This usually means that some other part of the DCC system is doing a programming operation, e.g. a hand-held throttle.Some DCC systems can't do ops-mode programming (programming on the main) while also using the service mode programming track, in which case they'll return this error message.
I'm not doing any programming anywhere else on the layout.______________________

The PanelPro appears to "see" the WiThrottle in the "Advertising WiThrottle" window, but no device is showing the the Device Name window.

I suspect these issues may be connected and may have to do with the drivers.

Dear Spuds,

Thanks for your reply.
I Upgraded to JMRI 4.12 which solved the iso-track programming issue.

Still having the WiThrottle issue. I have a query into JMRI tech Support.
The WiThrottle will not allow me to change addresses. Once I've programmed an address, in this case 6035, when I try to enter the address a second time I get the prompt: "Loco 6035(L) In-Use Would you like to acquire this address?" When I click the YES button nothing happens, even with repeated pressing. When I click the NO button the window disappears, but the cycle repeats and remains NOT SET. I tried to delete the Roster addresses, It's like the WiThrottle gets "stuck."I also get the prompt "Unable to load JMRI WebServer page."
This issue is across three different devices, one iPad and 2 iPhone, get the same prompt and the same non-function.
This issue only occurs with certain 4 digit numbers. Below is a comparison "Chart."

Loco Address??? Digitrax Throttle??? JMRI Throttle (computer)??? WiThrottle
6005??? ??? ??? ??? OK??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???? OK??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ? OK
6035??? ??? ??? ??? OK??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???? OK??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ? NO
6051 ?? ??? ??? ??? OK??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???? OK??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ? OK
7614??? ??? ??? ??? OK??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???? OK??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ? NO
3??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ? OK??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???? OK??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ? OK
See images below:

An additional issue is I can't get JMRI ProgramPro Throttle (on my computer) to run locomotives.
The Digitrax throttle runs everything fine.?
?
Any ideas?
THANKS in advance for the help.

4.10 has some loconet slot 'issues', upgrade to 4.12 which came out last week.?

How is the computer/Jmri connected to the 240?

The LW?I is independant from JMRI, a phone connected to it wont show in JMRI

Dear JMRI Users,

I just joined the group and this is my first post. To all you WiThrottle-JMRI-Mac "gurus,"

I recently converted my N Scale layout from DC to DCC. I installed a Digitrax DSC240 Advance Command Station with Digitrax LNWI Loconet Wifi Interface.
I downloaded JMRI Panel Pro and Decoder Pro 4.10 Software and installed it on my MacBook Pro running OSX 10.10.2 Yosemite
I purchased, downloaded and installed WiThrottle on my iPad.
The Digitrax DSC240 Advance Command Station is connected to an isolated programming track per the manual. The WiThrottle is connected via the Digitrax LNWI Loconet Wifi Interface.

I'm having two issues:
1. I cannot program any locomotives on the isolated programming track.
The JMRI Decoder Pro software is giving me the prompt: "Programmer error. Programmer busy (302)" (See JPEG image below)
The WiThrottle JMRI webpage states:
302 ¡ª programmer busyThe command station has reported that it's busy doing something else, and can't do any programming right now.This usually means that some other part of the DCC system is doing a programming operation, e.g. a hand-held throttle.Some DCC systems can't do ops-mode programming (programming on the main) while also using the service mode programming track, in which case they'll return this error message.
I'm not doing any programming anywhere else on the layout.______________________
