Cannot change horn, no bell
#esu
I am trying to set up an ESU Loksound 5 decoder programmed by my dealer.?
?
The prime mover sound works, I can change the master volume ok, the lights work, I can dim the lights ok in the Function Outputs tab, I try to change CV163 (horn) and CV164 (bell) but the horn sound does not change and it sounds like a plastic toy. It does respond to the master volume.? Default Sound slots 3 (horn) at 225 and 4 (bell) at 70. Changing these values does nothing.
?
The bell has never made a peep... it is like there are no sound files loaded. (I do not have a Loksound programmer).?
?
What am I missing?
Thanks for your help,
-Paul in Utah

Erik,
Try renaming the .txt file as .csv.

Yes, but resulting in a .txt file.

Dan, thanks for the expanded information in the trains log.? However, I can't figure out how you calculate the "Partial 28/80 cars" numbers.? Can you enlighten me?

Yea, but: To prevent a local move for trains that do only drops/lifts I have to do an edit, since you defaulted to local moves 'yes.'? Nit, and I've already edited my stuff.

Thanks,

Which version of Excel do you have? I have Excel 2010 and it supports export to TAB separated CSV file
I have MS Office 2010.
Two versions of export to .csv are presented when using "save as":
1. CSV (MS-DOS) *.csv
2. CSV separated by list-separation sign *.csv
?
In both cases the exported .csv file uses semi-colon (";"), as described in my previous message. Summary: due to the fact that EU decimal (,) and thousands (.) separation is different from US separation, a semi-colon is used as record separation.
If I want to use tab-separated records I have to export as "Text (tab separated) *.txt".
Causing my file to loose any Excel link.
?
Hence my upcoming request to have this third option when retrieving .csv files, (besides "tab" and "comma" separation) for "semi-colon" separation.

But it may also be a function of the ¡®look and feel¡¯ selected in the Preferences. I always pick ¡®Metal¡¯ for my systems. You may have to try a few combos. But do a Save and Restart of JMRI after making a change.

Erik,
Which version of Excel do you have? I have Excel 2010 and it
supports export to TAB separated CSV file.
See this documentation for Microsoft 365, Excel 2024, Excel 2021
and older versions.

Hi Dave, I discovered why my .csv file uses a semi-colon. Please
see my previous message.
?
The only solution (in light of what I described there) is for
JMRI to allow a third option (besides tab and comma) namely a
semi-colon.
I intend on submitting this request to the developpers.

Re: DCC-EX Voltage/current meter
#dcc-ex
Thanks, Daniel.
?
If that used to work on your hardware, I'm guessing the DCC-EX devs have removed support for it. You'd need to ask them why.
Here's what I get with the same commands on my CSB1:
[c] ?TX: Read Track Current Cmd?
[c CurrentMAIN 4 C Milli 0 4998 1 4998] ? RX: Meter reply: name CurrentMAIN, value 4.00, type C, unit Milli, min 0.00, max 4998.00, resolution 1.00, warn 4998.00
[JI] ?TX: Unknown Message: 'JI'
[jI 4 53] ? RX: Unknown Message: 'jI 4 53'
?
The response to your <c> request is <X>, which is the unhelpful "error" response. My <c> request returns a number of useful values that JMRI uses to populate the meter.
?
I could add support for the JI syntax to JMRI, but your result would be the same.
Here are the docs for JI:
Response: Repeated for each Channel/Track: <j I track current>
?> track: channel/track
?> current: current in milliamps
?
So you are seeing 0 for track and current, where I am seeing 4 and 53.

I would really like undo as I always make a mistake right before I make a big change and have not saved.?
But I understand undo is a lot more than just adding a keyboard shortcut.?

Gopal,
If you are using the Metal L&F, then you need to use the control key instead of the command key.

Re: Ad Hoc Changing Block Alternate Colour - Means of Showing Cab Allocation with DC Cab Control
Oh and it is good to have seen that block managing script, where and how it is described and syntax. All part of learning.

On Mon, May 26, 2025 at 12:20 AM, Dave Sand wrote:
Traditionally, cab control consists of a rotary switch that routes the power from a number of cabs to a section of track.
?
The goal is to have JMRI handle the power switching using some unspecified type of hardware. ?The power routing would be based on selecting a cab and then a NX route. ?When the NX route is activated, the hardware would be notified of the cab setting for each affected block and the NX route on the panel would have the allocated track color changed based on which cab was selected.
A pithy summation, yes it makes sense, thanks for getting into the depth of this user's head :)
A detail adjustment and splitting the last sentence if I may...
When a cab is selected the allocated track colour associated with that cab is selected for all unallocated blocks. When the NX route is activated, the hardware would be notified of the cab setting for each activated block and the NX route on the panel uses the now cab dependent allocated track colour.
?
I feel that reflects, clarifies and separates the selection of the alternate colour and the use of it. This in a similar way to the separation of alternate colour selection in the edit block dialog and use of the alternate colour in NX route setting. The end result is the same as your description, just a slightly different order of getting there.
Is there any advantage/disadvantage you see in either method?
