Re: jmri 5.10 automation no longer functions
Bxp88’s always powered from the output of a PSX breaker with all 5 breakers getting power from track output of command center.
Can anyone tell me what happened to the last table that use to be part of the list of tables
Thank you Tony

Thinking about it, if the bxp88 was powered by a 9v power supply and now is only powered from the track, that would also account for the different behavior.

See if there's anything in the logs. Also, in the debug menu you can up the logging level of the dispatcher to debug or trace.?
See if it's waiting on an allocation, or signal. The signal issue can be easily checked by running dispatcher with the no signals option.
Does it work if using a simulated connection?

All,

Nothing surprising. My Compare current loco with saved loco CVs shows no differences.

Frankly, I would have been shocked if somehow DecoderPro's CVs tab Compare missed something.

At a loss how to proceed.

Maybe that wasn't around when I switched to warrants.

Warrants autotrain doesn't require a speed profile as it will create one if one doesn't exist.
It can also modify it to reflect actual operating conditions checking elapse time to traverse blocks.

Re: Have a question about having a train pick up a specific car
#operationspro
It could be as simple as only allowing the station track to accept the express and diner cars.? Place the diner cars at the intermediate station. Now build the train and see if the express car is set out and the diner car is pulled.

That was my mistake and has been correct in 5.11.2 on, it was confusing me as well as most every one else.
In the past when i shut power blocks not occupied would go occupied. Was that a change
I believe that is a setting in the bxp88, JMRI digitrax only changes occupancy on a change / status being reported from the hardware, its not polled.

Re: jmri 5.10 automation no longer functions
Dear Steve
Some of my engines run extremely slow in automation ?and run faster with throttle control. ?My speed in the block table is maximum and my speed in create train is 200% maximum.
Where else is speed during automation controlled?
Also i noticed the last table in the list of tables was something like warrants but it’s no longer there. ?Why was that page eliminated and if it was warrents where are the warrents settings now

What you describe sounds like you are using "head only". Try loco by itself with the correct length and "full trian" detection.

Re: jmri 5.10 automation no longer functions
Dear Steve I retried again today and automation worked. Hope my repaired bxp’s do not have an intermittent problem. The default when openning a create train is head only so yes the 3 allocations occurred using head only.
Does that mean head only automation doesn’t work?
I noticed when i shut track power the layout panel hold the correct allocation and occupation information. In the past when i shut power blocks not occupied would go occupied. Was that a change?
I did not test the 3 allocations using only one train yet

Brett,
Your configuration looks correct.
While it is possible to specify up to four blocks, the normal process is to use one block for the first two entries and one for the other two entries.
Sometimes, for historical reasons it is not possible to treat the crossover as having only two blocks.

Please take a look at this photo of the Crossover I presumed that one turnout has one Block so A Crossover just needs 2. Is that correct?

Set up my class yard Arrival track as a "Location".? It's length accommodates the longest trains I run.
Set up Switcher (train) to PU at Location "Arrival" and SO at yard Location.

When I tested, had a 30 car train arrive. The manifest showed all 30 cars set out at Arrival.
Ran train "Switcher".? It only picked up 22 of the 30 cars.

Viewing the build report 8 cars were excluded as class track for those 8 cars was full.
