Dan I appear to be back up and running, thanks. Now i have to either rebuild or? use the back up stick that was made for me. not sure its any good.

Tom

Just to add to what I said above with the panels loaded I can bring up my sensor table and toggle between inactive and active and it shows the correct color changes (yellow red) on my track icons on the CPE panel. I've been doing this all along to check that I have the correct sensor blocks assigned to my track sections so there does not appear that there is a broken link between the two. I still think that its a code issue. loading that one pane.

Thanks John Lang

They are in “Files”, “Items being worked on”, look in the section “ernie”. Two files are there one before the upgrade and one after.

Did you use a memory stick for your E drive?

To create a new profile, under the main menu, Edit, select Preferences...

And in the Preferences window, select Config Profiles, then "New", and enter a name for your profile. Press "OK", and then "Save".

That will restart the program will a new profile.? From there you can try again. If you have a backup of your operations, you can restore.

Thanks for the replies Phil and Robert. As I said at the beginning of my post I'm building my CPE on top of my loaded LE panel which populates my sensor table and all of my other tables. All other items in the items palate have the appropriate pick lists and icons to drag to the panel except the sensor panel which is totally blank. It seems to me that something in the code is broken so that frame does not load properly when called. I've built CPE panels years ago and never ran into an issue. Anyway I've uploaded a PDF of the screen shots and explanations in problems being worked on folder under "J. Lang CPE sensor table issue" if you our someone else would care to take a? look

Again Thanks,
John Lang

HOw do i do this? the program worked great at first?

Tom

Not sure how you've configured your computer, but the program can't find your profile:

I just added what the system console said.
I am not sure on the delete question, my Great nephew tried to help me while on spring break.
He went back to school work.

Thank you all for your replies and good suggestions. Nobody commented on the 'fantom' decoder list so I'm wondering if I saw it somewhere unrelated to Digitrax/JMRI. Perhaps TCS Decoders. Anyway, thanks again.

Seeing the console log would make a big help. It likely has some errors that
will explain some of what's going on. Another is some errors prevent further
things, that might account for the icon issue. Just cut/paste it here so we
can see it.

Did you uninstall JMRI or simply delete the directory?

Tom,

Please look at the system console for error messages.? You can paste them in your reply.? Look under "Help" in the main menu bar for the system console.

Hi I have a CTC panel which worked correctly with ubuntu (not sure of the JMRI version as the computer died).??
I set up a Rasberry pi 4? 2gig ram os version 10 (buster) current.? JMRI 4.18 running Digitrax simulation.

JMRI appears to run correctly.? I put a copy of the panel file on the Raspberry, it loaded showing many windows
displaying an error regarding the location of the sound files (this I expected) all other items, icons etc worked.

I then went thru the process of editing all sound locations via the panel editor.? Upon launching the updated panel
no sound location errors were noted, but all the icons (levers, switches, turnout etc) were not present.? If I click
on an icon location it will appear but any functions associated with icon will not work.

In the files to be worked on section there is a folder "ernie" with the session log of both? runs..
log2 is after updating the sound file locations.? log3 is before the update.

The first two error messages appear in both files.? While the after update file has an additional error about half way thru.

Any insight as to what this means and how to correct it is appreciated.
Thanks Ernie

?I downloaded JMRI on my computer using Windows10.? I had a few locations and Trains working.? I was very excited. Then it got hung up and would not run any Trains or keep any new information i added.? We ended up deleting the program. I have re downloaded the program. it will not add operations to the main page. any information i add is lost if i close the program. Im not a computer guy so im very frustrated.

I know this is a JMRI group but....As other posts stated, Digitrax is limited in lighting control compared to other manufacturers.? However, Digitrax decoders technically support simplistic dimming in order to enable Rule 17 lighting effects.? So you can use this as a hack to achieve "always on" dimming.? Essentially wire two function outputs to the same LED and then set them up to support Rule 17 dimming.? Your LED will then be dim in both directions.? Also, resistors should be connected to the 0V or negative wires not the positive blue wire.? You will see in the diagram on the URL pasted below.? Navigate to this page and then search for, "LED with resistor connected to multiple DCC Decoder Functions" to see the example.? BTW, this web site is a great resource for DCC information and services...if you did not already know.



P.S. I verified this with Digitrax support so it is an acceptable "hack"

The issue about the empty block is which train moved? Three blocks, A, B,
and C. Trains in blocks A and C. When block B becomes active, which train
moved? The ID that is held by A or C? That's the issue.

Now blocks can be built with whichever sorts of sensors you want to use.
While track circuit is following what the prototype used most, and is used
by many layouts, you can do it with optic sensors too. They may take a bit
more work, some optics only give a pulse and logic has to put them together
to know what sections are occupied. I've not used optic sensors for this so
I'm not sure how easy or not it works.

On the issue of blocks between two towns, here are my views, if using ABS
three block rules (clear - caution - stop).
1. If you only have one block, it is easy on the trains to know if anyone is
coming. You'd see a caution that somebody is in the block beyond (you on
track in town one, other train on track in town two). If either moves over
the turnout, the other end would show stop. All of these presume the two
trains are not protected by a turnout set against them.
2. If you put a signal/block boundary at the halfway point between towns
(total three blocks), then you would see clear from either town while
someone is sitting at the other town. If either moved over the turnout, then
the other town would see a caution. Here the issue is you don't know the
difference if that is a train leaving the other town and coming your way or
the other train is just doing a runaround.
3. If you have four blocks, then either train could do run arounds within
that first block past the turnout, and the signal at the other town would
still be clear.

Key here is this is using ABS signals. They are for protection only and do
not grant rights to use the track. Other forms of dispatching would have to
protect the train movements. Options like APB for when you have more than
one block between towns get you closer to making the movements clear but
there are still edge cases that would cloud this. Only using things like CTC
dispatching or double track with direction of travel ABS can you safely move
by looking at the signals only.
