Update, tried WiThrottle (Android), starts loco going, but loses it, no control at all.

Tim

OK thanks Paul. Throttle works, as I would expect it too.

I am unable to test any programming as I don't use the Z21 for that purpose.

Now onto the next but minor problem. I have done a workaround, but it is an annoyance. The turnouts are one digit out. If I choose the turnout 56, 55 is the one that moves. Plus the thrown/closed indicator on the Multimaus is reversed to that showing in JMRI, and using the Invert command does not correct it.

Tim

First apologies for my tirade about the new version. I could have been more
tactful.

As for 4.7.6, after about a day of testing and tries, I have given up on
it, and gone back to 4.6.0, and all is well, but only after a scratch
install.

The only thing I found is that when in simulation, the java error does not
occur, but when JMRI is connected to live networks (LCC for turnouts and
switches, NCE for throttles and Loconet for sensors and signals), then
warrants crashes with a java error at the run click.

I was about to test which network was possibly contributing to the error,
but reset for the coming session was higher priority, and I needed a
functioning system.

Thank you for the few that have replied (on list and off). Suggestions were
appreciated.

Leo P

Thanks, I will see how I go.


(It may prove easier for me to wait till you have moved ED to AndroidStudio.)

Thanks, Peter.

Those changes looked good and were easy to pull into my copy. I've committed them to JMRI/EngineDriver. You'll want to update your repo from there (or refork) before adding other changes.


Please proceed with the other changes the same way. then, when we've got JMRI/EngineDriver all caught up, I'm going to proceed to:
1) update all source files to match latest JMRI standard (Linux line endings, spaces instead of tabs). I'll push in this change with no functional changes mixed in.
2) move ED into Android Studio, and push this change in. Again, no functional changes mixed.


Thanks!

Billybob,

Thank you for confirming my observations. I am planning of extending hardware bits using the shift register method and I am now a bit worried that C/MRI operation of updating changes may slow things down somewhat. Maybe more nodes might be a better approach.

I also don't know why there is extra 10 in the second line

Sorry, but neither of those is right.

It sounds like the LI100’s USB connection isn’t being properly being seen by your Mac. Perhaps there’s a driver that has to be loaded?

I have missed something, and cannot see what.

In one spur (IGA Dr 1), I have a reefer that is scheduled to be picked up (which would make room for a new car), and I have a reefer in a yard that is supposed to be delivered there. The build report initially fails to assign the new car due to no room. Then further down, the build report assigns the P/U from the spur but it is too late for the delivery. I mistakenly had thought that aggressive mode with 2 passes would solve that.

I have worked around that by making the route for that train go to that town twice, once from the yard, then again after returning to the yard. The build report therefore assigns the car to be picked up in the 1st visit, then assigns the car to be delivered in the 2nd visit (to an empty spur).


I had wanted to make the train take the new car with and merely swap the P/U with the S/O (as I suspect the prototype did).

After attempting everything I could check & verify that things are supposedly in order; I still am getting this error message when I try to identify any of my 12 different locos. According to the Lenz portion of the help files; Lenz is supposed to be able to work with all JMRI functions but the info stated that if you still get the Error message; # 303 in my case then report back to the JMRI user groups page which is what I am now doing!

That 303 error message, that can only be generated if the command station responds to the system with a message that says the command isn't supported.

You said in your original message you had a "Lenz 100 system". Can you be more specific? Which Lenz command station are you using? Is it an LZ100 or an LZV100? Which firmware is installed? (you can use the JMRI XPressNet System Information tool to find this, but you can also find it on a handheld throttle).

I'm really confused because the log you sent showed this at the end:

2017-06-21 16:21:14,840 jmrit.AbstractIdentify WARN - Requested operation not implemented in command station (303), trying Paged mode [AWT-EventQueue-0]

2017-06-21 16:21:17,852 jmrit.AbstractIdentify WARN - Restoring Direct Byte mode [AWT-EventQueue-0]

Which indicates that the system tried to use direct byte mode, but that wasn't supported, so it tried to use paged mode, but that was not supported either.

(A Lenz Compact or Atlas Commander would respond this way, but no version 3.5 or newer LZ100 or LZV100 should).

To access the loco slots on a DR5000 you need to connect to it via a Digitrax connection. I normally connect via the USB port which allows JMRI to connect by both Loconet and Xpressnet and also the DR5000 configuration software all at the same time on virtual com ports with the one cable.
From JMRI's Digitrax slot monitor you can clear slots etc.
On Xpressnet, loco function setting (F1), MU, stack and other functions do not work. It also doesn't report stack full, but will report slots full on a Digitrax throttle.
As the DR5000 is updatable, they may add these functions in the future. The RS bus has been added in the last year and a WiFi throttle is supposed to be in the works,
I haven't had success connecting a computer by WiFi, but have only tried once and the tablet I use doesn't have ethernet, so haven't done that either. I have used a LIUSB on Xpressnet which also works with JMRI.

When you connected via the LIUSB, does the system have the same limitations as when connected via the DR5000's USB port?

Just checking because it sounds to me like the device may be a bit of a work in progress, a moving target of sorts, and we may not want to put anything special to handle it in JMRI until everything settles out with the development.

(plus, from the JMRI perspective, if the LocoNet side of things works, we should be able to do everything there we would do from the XPressNet side of things.)

No joy here.

Running W7, I have firmware 1.27 from the z21 monitor. I get nothing.

Running version 4.6 throttles no good, but I could control points.

Can you open up the preferences and then select the "Defaults" panel from the menu on the left. Make sure that everything is set to either the Z21 or Z21XPressNet connection (it shouldn't matter which one). If they aren't set that way, change the defaults, save the preferences and restart.

That could cause things to appear to not work.

Once again I tried searching for this one and failed. So please bear with me if this has been asked previously.


I want to print the cars at just one location. So I go to that location, and under tools I select show cars, and then select car roster, and then print. Before I print, I can select what data to print by selecting preview.


Unfortunately, even if I reduce the data to the bare minimum, when this report prints most of the data is off the page to the right due mainly to weird spacing between the letters. This makes the report useless. If I reduce the font to the point where the data is on the page, then it is so small that I cannot read it without a magnifying glass.


I tried printing in landscape format, but apparently this feature does not communicate with my printer. I.e. nothing happened at all.


All I want is car number, road, type, and location, so that I can check where everything is at each town individually. I can get by without the car type, but that only save a small amount of space, not enough to increase font size without losing part of the location information.


Suggestions? Ideas?

Here's the help link to staging tracks:





Dan

Geoff,

Yes, that is a correct interpretation of the C/MRI protocol. The C/MRI protocol does not have any message formats which deal with only one output, or only one input. It only has formats which deal with "all inputs on the node" or "all outputs on the node".

So, when the "master" changes an output, _all_ outputs on the "node" are written by the master. (It is incumbent on the "master" to keep track of all output values, and modify only the one being targeted; the "master" then updates the node with all of the output values appropriate for that node.)

And, when the "master" queries a node, the node presents values from _all_ inputs on the "node" for the master to "read".

Regards,
Billybob

Dan,


Problem solved, but I am confused. Turns out the track had more cars than the route was set for. Same with the other missing tracks. I mistakenly thought that the program would use however many cars it needed, and leave the others on the staging track.


Okay, well, on to other things, like actually building that train and running it!!!


Thanks for everyone's help.




Norman

Dan,


Well, my idea of deleting one of the missing tracks and then copying a good track to that track name did not work.


I deleted track 2 which was one of the missing tracks. I copied track 1, which was one of the good tracks, and named it track 2. So now track 2 has identical settings as track 1. I relocated the appropriate cars to track 2. Then I tried to build a train. The program gave me the list of tracks again. Track 1 is on the list. Track 2 is still missing. Failed.


I am going to build a train from track 1 and then look at the build report, as you suggested.




Norman

Dan,


Okay, I will go try that.

Hi Bob,

Although everything with JMRI-CMRI interface is working fine, I have one more question. I have been examining the messages sent using the CMRI Serial monitor. It appears to me that when one object e.g. a Light is clicked on/off, the CMRI packet contains the state of all other defined objects states for that node. e.g. if L1 is already ON and L2 is clicked, the message sent includes L1 current state. I have been looking at available doco but I am unable to confirm this fundamental operation.

Is my understanding of how this works correct or way off?

Rgds
Geoff

I have 4.2.1. JMRI and am having problems programming CVs 200-500. I have a PowerPro system (not a Power Cab). How do I get these higher CVs programmed. I have the lastest EPROM on my system, which is 03/01/2007c.


Wayne

Normand,

The train build report will show you all 50 tracks and why the 7 weren't available. It doesn't matter which staging track you choose. My guess is that you either have too many cars for the train's route, or the length of the cars exceeds the train's route. Here's the help:






Dan
