I?use Layout Editor and OBlocks? ;-)

Is it worth mentioning that the answer will vary depending on if you use Layout Editor and OBlocks or Panel Editor and Blocks?

I know of one layout that uses CATS and OperationsPro to move the loco icon, so it can be done.

See my original comment, you can pull and set out anywhere in the train's route.? It doesn't matter if the train is a turn.

Ken S,

I presume you mean the data LED's on the USB board? Seeing them flash is
sometimes tricky. Bigger issues are when they become stuck on, that's a
different case of issues.

Hello Ken C.

Since the LED lights do not work, I am checking with NCE today. I guess the
problem must me with the USB interface. I will recap conversation with NCE
after I talk with Ed.

Ken S

Dave H,

Just to remind me, if the cab id is not valid in the USB, we still get the
AA command acknowledged, but we'd not be able to talk to the command
station, correct? I don't think that is any part of this issue, but checking
what I remember.

So either the baud rate is wrong or you blew the card by accident.? That is if you did not change jumper settings ever.

There are no separate calls. It’s just a calculation done in various modes depending on how the speed steps, etc are configured. The call into the system-specific throttle always uses the 0. - 1.0 scale.

That calculation is done in several places with somewhat different approaches, e.g. in jmrit.throttle.ControlPanel is looks like:

float newSpeed = (speedSlider.getValue() / (intSpeedSteps * 1.0f));
throttle.setSpeedSetting(newSpeed);

where the speedSlider value is an integer step from 0 to the max in intSpeedSteps

Dan,
Started setting this loco move up and 2 thoughts came up 1)is there away to pickup and setout in route with one train even if neither location is at the either end of the route and 2) can the setout/pickup be accomplished on a turn

Ok I'll give it a try it will take some time to make the changes I need to work through several trains to be able to set it up and see what happens
Thanks

I saw somewhere, but I couldn't find, the possibility of displaying the train name/number on the screen.

I tried with the markers but it doesn't follow the train on the screen.

I saw your question but did not know exactly what you're trying to do.? My guess was you wanted to have the train markers on a Layout Editor panel show up automatically and move when the train was detected (after being moved), and that is way above my pay grade.

However, if you merely want an opportunity to show markers on a Layout Editor panel and move them by clicking on a conductor's Move button (if the Trains are built and coordinates added to the Train Route so the marker can be placed in the correct location on the Panel for the station it is at), that is a different animal.? For example, I have built Panels to allow me to indicate what section of track is occupied (red) and by what train(s) (using memory variables), but it has to be manually kept current.? I have also built panels that move a marker on a Layout Editor panel (to the next location on the Route) by clicking on the Conductor's "Move" button in Ops.

So, whichever way you were thinking, please clarify and someone can respond with more authority.

Yes, your manifest and switch lists will be updated.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for all those comments and pointers.
Since way more people are using these than I had imagined, I will try to incorporate these and test them with multiple
USB channels when I can pull everything together.

Much appreciated.
Have fun!? :-)
Best regards,

Hey Dan,
Thanks, I assume that I do this edit after I build the train.Will the add show on the manifest (the pickup and the dropoff at the properly location)?
Thanks

I started JMRI long before the consisting tool, and never got the habit of using it.
Which is why i never saw the option.
And training all 60 club members how to use a new tool is not trivial either. (This is a computer, bush this button to start...)

We removed the programming track from the layout system when we discovered programming mode locked out all the throttles (Easy DCC). so the other guy running bashed into the stopped train due to no control.
We have two separate programming tracks/tables/computers, with different systems. (Easy DCC, Digitraxx, SPROG, and Pi-Sprog)

Add hock consists are set with wi-throttle or Engine Driver, or on the EasyDCC panel. Engine Driver is getting most of the consisting features mentioned.

Just the club scaleability issues.

But automatic consist as throttle address would still be nice on the programming tracks.

I think those changes will do it.

Another approach would be to pass the output stream into the listener objects, so that two separate copies of the class wouldn’t be needed.
