My usual suggestion is to always try more than one browser. Some may work
better than others. Next would be download using a different computer then
walk it over (mem stick). Last would be disable the anti-virus in the
browser and try again.

Dave:

?? I seem to have every thing back up to where I want it. I want to thank you, Bob and Ken for all your help. If I run into any more problems I will sure get to you guys. Again Thanks a Lot.? PJ

Hello group,
I am using a computer with widows 7. I have installed and it is working well JMRI ?production release 4.8. I would like to install 4.12 update. Every time I try install the update it downloads about 30% and then stops. Any suggestions?
Thanks much,
Richard

As Dave Heap said:? reboot computer; download and install latest SiLabs drivers; use Windows Device Manager to check port and port number; update port number in JMRI.

Windows is notorious for scrambling drivers when it is updated.

If JMRI is not starting your installation may be corrupt. De-install all versions of JMRI; Download latest version of JMRI; reboot computer install latest version of JMRI.

COM Ports disappearing is not a JMRI problem and no amount of reinstalling JMRI will help one iota.

Unless your USB hardware has failed totally, Windows has either moved the COM port number for your SiLabs (NCE USB) or is failing to load the existing driver.

You need to go to Windows Device Manager (nothing to do with JMRI) and watch the screen while plugging/ unplugging the NCE USB. If no COM port is appearing/disappearing as you do so (or if something appears but it has error symbols) you need to make sure you have the latest Windows 10 SiLabs driver from the following site and install that one:

Stopped working after a recent WIN 10 update... COM PORT 3 not found... no COM Ports found! I have done everything reinstalled twice, and not I cannot even get JMRI to start. I checked JAVA (have 1.8). I cna't figure this one out.

Debug - no errors reported.
As you suggest the Route names needed changing which I did with several careful Search and Replaces in the XML editor.

Dave S,

Knowing this now, I can see the simple script to let you trigger the loading
is very useful. I could be placed in the startup to happen at the right
timing (some delay handy maybe) or more likely other scripting in
conjunction with knowing the sensor system has had time to settle down.

Hi,

Just to confirm that adding the readBlockValues() to my script which is ran on startup solved the problem.
Many thanks

OK Jerry,
Once you put the engine on the programming track, you hit new engine.
You can hit "Read type from the decoder"
If it reads ok, move to the next step.
If not, select from list on the left side.
Then you select the right decoder, then you hit open ????? programmer.
That is when you input the information in the 1st tab on the engine.
I hope that clears this up for you!!

Ken,

It does not wait.

BlockValueFile.readBlockValues() is called by LayoutBlockManager.initializeLayoutBlockPaths().

This occurs twice. The first call is during Apps initialization. This has no effect because there are no blocks. The second one occurs at the end of panel loading.

The 4.12 logic does not copy the value to the block if the Power Manager is active and the block is not occupied. If the Power Manager is inactive, the value is copied regardless of the block state.

Where this falls apart is when track power and detection systems are controlled separately, such as NCE train control and LocoNet layout control (detection and signaling).

The case in this thread is that detection is started by a “StartOfDay” process.


Dave Sand

Dave S,

How long does the startup wait for the sensors to report before trying to
load the saved block contents? Also does it wait if power was off? I know a
LocoNet layout usually can take a number of seconds before all the sensors
get polled.

Just trying to understand this more.

Hi,

Jay

Thanks for the reply. That was my thinking but I needed some confirmatiion

Jerry

I do not know about the Procab & it's ability to read back decoders.
Personally, I take the engine & in JMRI, click new loco.
Then I fill out the engine info on the 1st tab & do a Read All Sheets.
When it's done I save it.
All info is in JMRI at that point.
That has worked for me as some of my locos have disappeared out of my roster.

If you are measuring track voltage as AC with a VOM it is not accurate for DCC. I don't know the offset.

It varies from VOM model to VOM model.

You have a PowerPax booster to increase the voltage so it seems that your voltage at the track should be higher. Dave Heap said in a post that boosters were not recommended but I don't know why.

Boosters are not needed nor recommended for SPROG and NCE Power Cab.

For some systems (e.g. earlier NCE Power Pro) they are necessary/helpful. In the case of the Power Pro, the SoundTraxx PTB-100 works better than the PowerPax alternative.

I have an engine that has been programmed by another individual. I want to add it to my JMRI Roster. What is the correct procedure?
It was programmed using a Power Cab. I am running with a NCE Pro Cab. The decoder is a Tsunami2? TSU PNP.

Here is a Logix version:

IX:AUTO:0001C1 Load Block Values
[x] R1 IF Sensor "LoadBlockValues" state is "Sensor Active"
THEN
On Change To True, Execute Jython Command Jython Command import jmri; jmri.jmrit.display.layoutEditor.BlockValueFile().readBlockValues().
On Change To True, Set Sensor, "LoadBlockValues" to Inactive

Dave Sand

Try running this script after the sensors are active:

import java
import jmri
bvf = jmri.jmrit.display.layoutEditor.BlockValueFile()
bvf.readBlockValues()
