Steve,
I tend to agree with Jerry here. We solved this situation for him with this. Ensure that the connection type is MERG Concentrator (A-H), whether the connection is serial or network interface.
Tom okay, so I have done some extensive tests with the Uno/reader and Uno/ethernet/reader. I still have the same problem. Both work perfectly until connected to JMRI as a direct serial connection when no tag information is displayed in the Reporters Table. If I look at the RFID Command Monitor, I can see the tag data with msg reply of unknown length16. I have checked and checked again that the RFID connection settings are correct, including selecting MERG Concentrator. For some reason that I cannot work out, neither combination works.? If I get some of the other Uno's just running a serial output only, everything works correctly in JMRI without me changing any of the settings! Completely baffled! Have you actually tried the sketch in serial mode with JMRI yourself? Does it work for you? Steve

Works (for at least one reader) but definitely still under development.? Issue is with coordination between ESP32 library version and MFRC522 library. Should we take this discussion to the RFID4MRR group?? Issues are not related to JMRI which does what is expected and works fine.

Re: Loco moving only during sensing decoder type | Decoder Pro
If it has a DCC decoder, it’s compatible with JMRI. ?I recommend you take it to someone who has a self-contained DCC system and try it there. ?It may just be that while it’s working, as in reading, on your JMRI program track, you’re not getting track power on and address selected properly to try and run it. ?Taking it somewhere else to try eliminates the loco from the equation.

Re: Loco moving only during sensing decoder type | Decoder Pro
Weird. I wish we could look over your shoulder, because I can think of no reason for what you're seeing. I have the sneaking suspicion that you are doing something we're not thinking of which we'd instantly see 'live'. At the moment, I have nothing more to offer, I'm afraid.
But I'm keeping an eye on this just to find out what I've been missing!

Hello again and thank you for your help, that is very nice of you all. Changing CV29 to value 34 and clicking write changes to page/write changes to all pages did not yield anything new. I tried it on the programming track and main track and nothing from 3007, not even the lights respond. At this point I think I may just buy a fresh loco that is known to work with JMRI. With that being said, do any of you guys have any recommendations for dcc-ready/dcc-equipped trains that are known to work with JMRI. I’ve done some searching online and on here of recommended setups or anything similar for beginners to check out to learn more about creating JMRI setups and couldn’t find anything. As a beginning who’s sole goal is utilizing JMRI it’s kind of surprising there’s no FAQ outlining that kind of stuff. Any posts you guys know of I could checkout that outlines known JMRI compatible trains or recommendations you guys have?
Thank you, appreciated as always,
Thomas

I have a pi4 8gb running g 64 bit rasputin and the latest JMRI.
All works great except when I select Raspberry pi gpio? and I get error message, cannot connect to pi, as this expected when not using a pi.
Not sure what's going on.....

The only decoders with that many functions that I am aware of are ESU and Marklin. Seeing there was a recent thread about using 63 functions with a Lenz controller I assume they have a decoder capab;le of that many functions, Zimo might also have one capable of more than F31.

Re: Figuring out where I need to place my "blocks"
#blocks
Resistor value halving only occurs on going from 1 detected resistor to two detected resistors (assuming all resistors are the same value). When a third resistor enters the detection area the resistance will then go down to a third of the value of a single resistor, not a quarter (which could be implied from your statement). It gets to 1/4 R when a fourth resistor enters the detection area, with additional resistors further lowering the effective detection resistance.

Also a thought on detection.? Each time a resistor wheelset enters the block, the resistive value detected halves.??

Forgot to add. WiThrottle is currently quitting at f28. Personally I only need up to f31 though, not the full works (yet) - this is the highest I see in my LokSound 5s….

As Wouter pointed out, this topic has strayed way past anything to do with JMRI. Further discussion on wiring, resister wheelsets, etc need to be taken elsewhere.

Re: NX Entry/Exit pairs used in LogixNG do not get put back into logixNG when restarting and reloading the panel.
#logixng
#entryexit
John,
I did a test with your logic and it works.
Are there any message in the JMRI system console?
Does the NX work properly when clicking on the NX sensors? ?Maybe you have a conflicting route which would normally create a Stack dialog.

Dave,
Thanks again for your reply. Yes you are correct according to what I posted except I made a mistake in the post - sorry about that, what I really had and still have is this:
? ? ? ? ! A? If Then Else, Always execute
? ? ? ? ? ? ? if Entry/exit "NXW (E4) to NXE (W4)" is inactive
? ? ? ? ? ? ?!? Then Many
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?! A2 Set Entry/Exit "NWX (E4) to NXE (W4) to Set NX pair Segment Active / Inactive
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?! A3 Return
? ? ? ? ? ? ?! Else Return
So when I look at the debugger I can see that the If condition is true and the A2 Action is reached in the debugger, But I don't think the NX pair gets set to Active.?

Re: Figuring out where I need to place my "blocks"
#blocks
Slight correction on resistance: Special case, when all resistors are equal. Otherwise, use the formula for parallel resistors (R1xR2)/(R1+R2) reiteratively::
The second wheelset with resistor halves the resistance, the third reduces it to 1/3, the fourth to 1/4th, the 5th to 1/5th, and so on.
I'm concerned by the use of 47k Ohm resistors for wheelsets. Those will draw less than 1/3 milliAmp each. Most detectors will not sense that, three, four, or even more might need to be in the block before it shows occupancy. It might work acceptably if they are on every wheelset, but probably the car won't be detected until four or more wheelsets are in the block.
Test your occupancy detection with resistors directly across the rails, to find the largest resistance that is detected. Then, since all things vary, go one value lower to compensate for most block and sensor variations.

can we use locos with this new 5.2 version in our trains?? If so, is there a link for instructions?

Yes, JMRI doesn't require anything off the internet while installing.

Ohhhh. ?I misread your question
I’ll send you a roster entry later. From a LokSound 5 that goes at least as far as f31. Would that help?
