Obviously you can throw out JMRI, that is your choice. Thing is JMRI is not the cause of your issue.

Kinda like waking up and finding the internet not working so throwing away the modem even though a quick search on my phone finds that Quest ishaving issues in my area and all the internet is down.

I posted this message because we could not get JMRI to work on a MacBookPro-Digitrx PR3-track combo that it worked on just last week and for years previously. Since that time, I have gotten some useful hints, none of which worked, but in the process I have paragraphs of explanations some of which I understand but most I didn't. But I have also been called ignorant, insulting and uninformed and suggested that I even may be using "el-cheapo" hardware. Funny, While I admit to some of those things, I wrote to this group for precisely that reason. We do not know how to fix our problem. I even went to a club associate who could not figure it out either.
If someone would be willing to contact me off line or Skype or something much more direct, I would love it, otherwise, our club relationship with JMRI is over! It is not working for either of us.
(Both Mac-PR3 users).
Thank you to those you tried to help.....it just did not work so far!

Are you using the PR3 as an interface to a Digitrax command station or as a standalone programmer?

I would recommend trying a different USB cable if you haven't done so already as some PR3s shipped with questionable cables.

If using as a standalone programmer, what are you using for a power supply?
See note about power supplies on the JMRIs PR3 page.
I personally use a 19 volt supply.

Peter and Bob,
Thanks for the clarification. To me it didn't seem the ops portion need any
improvement. I have had some issues but these were my mistakes. Thanks for
the continued support and updates which I shall do now. I'm using Panel Pro
ver. 4.2 R6f............ for my operations portion
My Grandfather used to tell me "If it isn't broke why fix it."

Hello,

Curious if anyone has implemented this new detection device from Digitrax. Also, will JMRI have specific support for this device in an upcoming release, or is the current LocoNet support for occupancy and transponding sufficient?

If I can ask, what type of RFID system are you using?

Hi Andrew,

I produced several hundred of these in both Upper Quadrant and Lower Quadrant, of different lengths and types as well as on Dolls and Gantries. I was using Layout Editor but then finished files I sent to Suzie to have a look at and to get them added to the JMRI Signal Head Files for those still using UK Semaphore Signals.

I have not seen anything more of these but they whole idea was to give the user the ability to crate their own Signals and Dolls and Gantries, as required, using a standard form such that you can create just the Signal Head, the Gantry Head or the full post and signal head.

Dave

Question How do you get a Semaphore signal icon or Semaphore Head for Panel Pro.Andrew.

Richard,



Well the log shows things starting up, but then silently dying. No errors
showing, no 'normal exit' type message either. So some form of real crash is
happening. I'm hoping somebody else might recognize what other ideas might
cause this sort of behavior.

Don,



Generally building the tables of the parts (turnouts, sensor, signals) is a
good method when you have the hardware first. This lets you quickly test all
the parts to make sure things work. Then you build the panels to control the
layout.



But sometimes you don't have the hardware first, but you do have the layout.
So you build the panels but create 'Internal' and 'Virtual' devices for
everything. Key here is setting usernames for all the parts. When building
the panels and logic, always enter things by the username. Then later you
add the real hardware and use the 'move' command to shift the username from
the non-real device to the real hardware. This method lets you figure out
just how much hardware you need.

It's actually pretty simple:

The PR3 has two modes of operation - One is "talk to the LocoNet" (MS100) mode, and the other is "use my (the PR3's) programming outputs" (Stand-alone Programming) mode. It can only be in one of those modes at any given time.

Due to the differing nature of those two modes, there are also two rather basic sets of connection requirements: If you want it to program decoders. you have to provide the correct DC power (the PR3 comes with a wall-wart) and connect it's programming outputs to a programming track. And if you want to talk to the LocoNet, you have to connect it to, well, the LocoNet.

To put it in the mode you want, you simply push the "Mode" button. The LED's on the device indicate which mode you're in. The PR3's instructions have a table describing the various LED colors/flashes/etc, so I won't repeat that here.

But there's an easier way to set the mode: Set up your JMRI profile(s) correctly for your intended use!

For example, my DecoderPro profile puts my PR3 in Stand-alone Programming mode, and my PanelPro profile puts it in LocoNet (MS100) mode.

Bottom line; Since you are getting a 306, your computer and the PR3 aren't talking to each other. Check that your physical connections and your JMRI profile are set correctly for the PR3 mode you intend to use, and that the proper DC power is applied if you are using Stand-alone Programming Mode.

I have never been able to make complete sense out of the Digitrax instructions on "correct mode".

I just might try that. I have had my issues with Digitrax stuff over the years.

George - if you’re only interested in the programming and now worried about using the interface to a layout, then I recommend the SprogII. I've had one for several years and I have a MacBook Pro (2012) running 10.12.6PB5 and JMRI 4.7.6.

I've had no issues programming any decoder (yet) including Paragon 3, Soundtraxx Tsunami 1 and 2. While I have a WOW, the engine it’s in needs mechanical love before I try to program it.

Fred D.

Personally I prefer using my Sprog 3 to my PR3. ?It works every time. ?Just my take on things.
David Reese

George,

Likely your PR3 is not in the correct mode. 99% of the time that is what I find when mine doesn't work. Nothing to do with JMRI or the PC.

To those of you who responded, Thanks
But I have finally given up on getting this thing to work. Two days is my limit.
JMRI/DecoderPro has been great since 2006 but I am open to maybe a different interface for my programming track and MACBook Pro than the PR3...any ideas?
Still using OS10.12.5 and a PR3. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Right now it doesn't.
All I get is (306). Off-line contact is OK (traxx@...)

Ah, thanks Dave! I will look into this. Sounds good to me. Jerry

Hi to the group
I had an oops a week or so ago with my computer that JMRI and all my train files are on. I have got most of them back but have lost my data files for my layout. The only good thing is I have some paper copies of most of the tables.
Before I just blase ahead and recreate the same mess as I had before can I get some guidance as to the correct order of creating everything.. That is do I recreate all the tables first, then the layout drawing etc etc.
Thanks in advance
