Locked dcclighting

 

I currently have a layout with dcc lighting for various objects like buildings and streetlights.? I have added to the lights table (ex. LL51, LL52) for the lights and i'm able to control them (on and off) thru that table on the computer. But I would like to add icons onto my decoder pro layout panel. Is there a way that I can place an icon like LL51 on the panel that I could click to turn on or off that light. Currently I'm using turnout icons but that creates other issues like unconnected tracks. I'm open for suggestions.?
Thanks, LD Johnsen 55337
Locked ERROR - Uncaught Exception while adding an ill formatted LCC HW address

 

Hey Guys,

Doing some OpenLCB programming. I was adding a turnout to the turnout table to later add to a panel. I added the following HW address (which is incorrect) "02.01.12.7F.5C.A4.00;02.01.7F.5C.A4.01". When I hit the "Create" button I get no induction from the system of the incorrect address and the uncaught error in the system console is produced.

When I correct format the address to "02.01.12.7F.5C.A4.00.00;02.01.7F.5C.A4.00.01", The highlighted information is what I added to make it correct, the system creates the entry in the table as expected. JRMI 4.19.2 in use but also tested in 4.18 produce the same result.

I think it is a bug but I will leave it your discretion.

Locked Re: Clarifying expection

 

Hi Phil
Need a lot more information.
I take that you have:
Created a layout panel.
Set up all the blocks with sensors.
Driven the train round manually and all the right blocks went occupied unoccupied the train went round.
You put blocks into sections. (With direction sensors?).
Sections into transits. All set up as all fwd or all rev.
Added signals at all block boundrys. (Masts or Heads?)
All SML for masts or SSL for heads set up and working.
Dispatcher options set correctly.(using heads or masts must be set correctly).
If you use the train set up exactly as shown you are driving the train......drive the train manually through the transit and check the occupancy and signals.
Set to automatic.
Remove the back and forth and see if that works.
Then try B&F setting continious with a delay.

I normally recommend starting with 2 blocks, 2 section, 1 transit. Then if that works add one block and section at a time. Saves years of frustration. Stating with threes on the right track.

It appears NCE has been shipping PCPs without the resistors fitted. We suspect that this, combined with component tolerances in the NCE USB and/or Power Cab, may be the cause of the particular type of communication failure your log shows.

If NCE doesn't supply you with a resistor-fitted PCP (send us photos if you aren't sure) or want you to return one particular component for testing, insist on sending the entire setup (Power Cab, NCE USB, PCP, cables and power supply) and get them to make that entire combination work together. Just sending back one component and having them say "it works for us" is not a fair test. We have good reason to believe the issue relates to the interaction of slightly different components.

The sensors are working as the lines change colour as the train travels around the loop.? This all started as I was originally trying to get a second train to stop in the block before it runs into the train ahead of it. Any suggestions.? Phil
Locked Re: Panel Editor - Signal Heads not able to be Dragged and Dropped from Palette #paneleditor

 

Bob,

Pull request #8092 has been created to fix this issue.

For now, the work around is to edit the panel xml file and replace the short entry with a valid set.

During testing I ran into an issue with trying to use "Edit Signal Head Icon...". ? It displays a Family mismatch dialog. ?It took a lot of time ?to figure why this occurs.

A signal head has 9 appearances. ?When Held is included that is 10. ?The "TallMast" and "Dwarf" icon sets, which have 10 icons, are distributed with JMRI and will be the initial signal head icon sets in "catalogTrees.xml" if it is saved, along with other sets for turnouts, etc.

Most of the signal head types have 7 appearances plus held. ?They do not have ?Lunar and Flashing Lunar. ?As far as I know, only the "DCC Signal Decoder" includes the Lunar appearances.

When edit is selected, the code tries to verify the icon set by matching the icon's icon set with the available Family sets. ?Except for DCC Signal Decoder heads, 8 does not match 10 and the mismatch dialog occurs.

If lunar is not going to be used, a trick is edit the catalogTrees.xml file a remove the lunar entries. ?Now 8 matches 8. ?If a new set is created, it might need to be fixed.

I have an idea on fixing the mismatch detection code but that requires input from the Control Panel Editor experts.

That is good news!? Let me know what you find as the only thing I can figure out to fix this is to manually replace in the layout XML file all the signal head icons that have ¡°<incons />¡±, with any changes to the signal head icon being done manually too.

Thanks very much for your comments.? Between your thoughts and CliffA's comments, I was able to migrate the icons.? The "Preferences" option did not show up previously, but when I physically deleted from the program directory the icon files, it showed up when JMRI asked what icon file to point to when it could not find the old file.? I've restructured the layout file with the icons on my J: directory.

Signal head icons are all still wonky, but at least now I?have the icon files in the proper place.

Thnks guys!

OK. I opened PanelPro and looked at blocks and noticed they were LB ( in Help) or IB? from there I assumed that might be his problem why his engine is not stopping as expected.

Phil,? I see you posted you attachement as a Photo in Photos

IB are internal blocks, and I believe? not physical blocks on the layout or test track.? So you must trip these manually unless the IB1, IB3 have sensors attached to them.

Usually those physical to layout blocks would have LB (if Loconet)? or NB (If NCE).

Cleaning the track before doing any programming is a recommended. The small currents, time factors and small contact patches involved require perfect conditions.

But " error reading " is totally different error than? " no ports found ".

You have not given us anything to work with, but one common issue is that Windows will disconnect the serial ports if it goes to sleep. JMRI does not know how to get them going again when Windows wakes up again. The answer is simple. Don't do that. I.e. don't let Windows shut down when there is no activity, or at least set the time before snoozing to a long time with no activity.

Locked Re: Operations Feature Request #operationspro

 

Thanks Dennis,
I didn't realize the DS and Clerk were in two different locales around here we don't have the luxury of having that many operators. If we can get the feature without it being mandatory for operations it sounds like a good idea.One of the problems I run into when teaching someone new is trying to get them to start simple then go for the neat stuff after they learn the basics. The most of the calls I get is from newbies wanting to run schedules, alt. tracks and some of the other things that are great about this program when they have never even built a single train. The biggest thing we as experienced operators with JMRI is to teach the newbies is the KISS method and help them to get up and running before taking them off the deep end of the pool. I think it would be great if we had weekly or so online training course to help newbies learn the program from simple data entry to the complex componets in scheduling and other ideas. I have been fooling around with JMRI for 10 years or so and still am learning new things all the time. I for one would welcome beginer and advanced seminars on JMRI at conventions and train shows. Here in Nebraska we are scattered all over the place and far apart we learn online but sometimes we just have to go hands on in person.
