Re: Panel Editor - Signal Heads not able to be Dragged and Dropped from Palette #paneleditor

Bob,

I don't have any insight yet into the signal head issues. ?However, I recommend that custom components reside within the "user files location".

This help page has a complete explanation of JMRI file structures:

As indicated in the help page, the keyword for the user files location is "preference:". ?If you look at your xml files, you will see that you currently have your custom icons at "program:resources/icons/_RJE...".

Since your zip file included the Wilbury_Spa profile, I am able to determine your some of your configuration.

The profile.properties file has lots of information including some of the file location definitions:

jmri-implementation.user-files=J\:/RJE User Files/
jmri-jmrit-roster.directory=J\:/RJE Roster/
jmri-implementation.scripts=program\:jython/

The jython location is a default value, the user files location was set using "Preferences >> File Locations" and the roster location was set using Preferences >> Roster. ?I also set jython to be part of the user files location.?

It appears that the custom icons are currently in their own J location. ?To facilitate automatic JMRI overrides they need to move to resources/icons within the user files J location.

When you build image indexes you have a choice of Program Directory or Preferences Directory. ?Things selected from the program directory get the "program:" key while things selected from the preferences directory get the "preference:" key.

The similar process works for icon sets.

While migration is a one time event, it is a lot of work.

The custom icons, and other custom components that we don't know about, are moved to preference:resources/icons.
The next step can be done either by editing the xml files with an editor that understands XML (such as notepad++) or using JMRI to change each icon to the new location.

Make sure you have good backups.

I stored the files in the zip file under the same folder/sub-folders as they are under on my J: drive (where I keep copies of all my user modified files).? These same files are in the JMRI program directory on C:\Program Files (x86)\JMRI and in the C:\Uers\RJE\JMRI folder (note this is a Windows7 machine) – all in the same folders.? I keep all altered files on my J: drive so I can back them up easily.? The custom icons (including panels icons I create in AutoCADàPDFàJPG) that you see are manually copied to the appropriate icons subfolder in C:\Program Files (x86)\JMRI (under Resources I think(?) – I’m not at my layout computer at present) as I have no idea how to point to the J: drive to find these files.

?

The scripts I have are to monitor the power setting and push its status into a sensor, to listen to my PM42 inputs, and to set my turnouts “CLOSED” at start-up.? These are basically slight modifications to the canned scripts that come with JMRI.? The fourth script was my first attempt at writing my own script from scratch, and is intended to provide an interface between JMRI and a Walthers turntable I have – it does not work properly.? I can send you copies of the script files if you think it would be helpful.

?

All 4 Panel Editor files and the Layout Editor file automatically load when the program fires up; I don’t have to load any manually.? I could not tell you which order they load in as JMRI loads the files.? I don’t think it matters, as I created a new layout called “TEST” and created a panel in it, and it exhibits the same difficulties as “WILBURY SPA”.

?

Sorry, I misunderstood your thought on “copying mechanism”; I read “coping” mechanism and thought it to be a special work-around process.? Yes, I do the copying mechanism thing you mention for all my user files, putting them in the three places noted above.? You mention that “it is much safer to provide the start-up and file default portions of the Config Profile to consistently point to your locally modified files” – do I do this by changing the default search location under “Configuration” tab of “Preferences”?? I tried this last night but it changed nothing, but I left the original JMRI program file folder on the list (with the box un-ticked).

?

I hope this helps.?

I’d be interested in your thought on the error message I get when trying to change one of the bad signals to a different icon set:

Bob,

There is now a copy of your zip file on my computer, but I am having some difficulties unraveling how the files fit together.

It appears from your file named "200206 - RJE - JMRI Files for Debugging\200206 - RJE - JMRI Files for Debugging\DRIVE J\RJE User Files\Wilbury_Spa\profile\profile.xml" that you execute several scripts during the startup process, but evidently load one or more of your panels manually after the startup process has completed. Or maybe one or more of those scripts load panel files. Please explain what is wrong with my summary.

For the forensics activities, it is important for me to understand which panel file should be loaded or if multiple panel files are loaded, which order do you follow.

I do keep the custom icons outside of the JMRI programs folder on my c: drive – I actually have set up a cloud drive on our Synology NAS (J:). Maybe we are honing in on my problem if something is pointing to the wrong location! I know that I have a location on J: where I normally store and work on the custom icon files, then I move them to the C: drive JMRI folder so I can access them from JMRI.

It is not likely that your signal icons problems are due to what you describe here, but the process does seem to allow for some ambiguity as to which of your versions might get left out or overwritten. Extra caution would be in order here.

I’d like to know more about this “coping mechanism that enables you to do what we always recommend JMRI users to never do”, as this sounds like something I’d do!

There are numerous message threads on this groups messages record, but essentially the writers describe some kind of method for copying the folders with locally modified resources back into the "program:" folder. Some do it manually and some have developed elaborate batch or script files. It may take extra effort, but it is much safer to provide the startup and file default portions of the Config Profile to consistently point to your locally modified files.

I’ll investigate this all tonight to make sure I have things pointing in the right direction. I’ll also throw into that “problems being worked on” folder my custom icons, the catalogtree file, the layout file, and perhaps a file or two more for your perusal.

It is entirely likely that we are looking at a symptom that is being caused by several small errors, rather than some big problem.

Confirm your changes to CV5 are taking effect.. bring CV5 down to 120.. engine should be really slow... If no change, something wrong in your process or the decoder.

Re: CATS opens but not Designer #cats

#169181

Scott,

What version of Windows are you using?? It should not matter (because designer does not use JMRI), but what version of JMRI are you using?

designer needs only 2 libraries outside of the standard Java libraries - jdom and log4j.? It appears that Java is not finding the jdom libraries, which exist because JMRI runs.? I have seen this a few times and don't know the cause.? On a Windows 7 Pro system, I got around the problem by creating a folder and added the designer .jar, .bat, and a sub-folder, named lib, containing the jdom and log4j .jar files from the JMRI lib folder.? I eventually expanded the jdom file by renaming it .zip and extracted the contents (via a right click and extract).? That worked.? I don't know the root cause, but I suspect it had something to do with the Windows settings on the files or folders - perhaps permissions.

The .bat file that you posted tries to run designer twice - once by invoking Java directly and the second by going through the JMRI launcher, using designer.jar as the main file.? Since JMRI runs, the latter should also run, except it may not get the chance because the first failed.? Be sure you have commented out the first with the ::.

Had a similar issue with 'no loco detected' with my EasyDcc system and decoderpro. I found that if I cleaned the programming track and the locomotive wheels this problem went away. Since then, right before I begin any programming, I give the programming track a quick wipe with my preferred track cleaner.?

Re: CATS opens but not Designer #cats

#169176

This probably indicates one or more .jar file that Designer needs is missing.

There are several versions of the JDOM tool.  JMRI currently uses version 2, but it used to use version 1. This looks like Designer is looking for version 1.

The current file is lib/jdom2-2.0.6.jar	

Designer might be looking for lib/jdom.jar

If that’s the case, you can find a copy on this page:

Re: SCRIPTING - Can a script obtain the names of classes that are already running #scripting

#169174

The info you’re looking for is held in this:



So the code will look something like:

	if (jmri.jmrit.automat.AutomatSummary.get(“Name”) != None) : 
		print "The Other Class is already running"
	else :
		print "The Other Class is NOT running"

You can also iterate through the list of running automats, etc.

This goes through the threads that extend jmri.jmrit.automat.AbstractAutomaton, but it doesn’t track threads that don’t.

While I understand it is possible to use the Thread Monitor to see what classes are already running, is it possible for a script to get access to this same information?

I'd like a script to be able to check if another specific class is already running and take action as required.

For example:

import jmri

class Test(jmri.jmrit.automat.AbstractAutomaton):
    def init(self):
        print 'init Test'

        # Pseudo-code #
        if CLASS(THE_OTHER_CLASS).IS_RUNNING:
            print "The Other Class is already running"
        else:
            print "The Other Class is NOT running"
        return

    def handle(self):
        do stuff here
        return False

Test().start()

If this can't be done directly I can see a way to do it with internal sensors, but the direct approach would be neater.

After going back and trying with no success to find that post, I believe It was reported that if I needed to extend that cable, I could use a RS 232 or serial port cable which is a straight pass-thru cable?

If you bought the ESU FTDI or RRCirKits FTDI cable, you don't need an RS232 extension cable, but you can add one if necessary.

We have also used 10m (30 ft) Active USB Extension cables with these but it must be a cable labelled as "Active". Passive cables usually won't work satisfactorily past 5m.

If you have connection problems without the RS232 cable, you may need to make a modification to your Power Pro box connector binding posts. See:

If I change a CV value from the CV tab in DecoderPro does it change the function mapping automatically if it was affected by the CV change?A CV value change on the CVs tab will update the affected CV in any other tab(s).

However:

1) As Marc has said, you need to write the changes to the decoder.

2) If you're trying to change the Function Map by using the CVs tab instead of on the Function Map pane, there's a good chance you'll mess things up, particularly if you are using a modern sound decoder like ESU V4, Select or 5 or Tsunami2 or Econami. Don't say you haven't been warned... You may end up finding out about the JMRI Resets menu item to reset the decoder (not JMRI) to factory defaults.

Disregard ?my previous query about the Walthers GP35 EQ and Reverb.. My fault ' Show ?Empty Programmer tabs ' ?was not ticked.

EQ and Reverb are present

On my JMRI with "Tsunami Diesel OEM"->"GP35", the Equaliser and Reverb tabs show irrespective of whether or not ?"Show ?Empty Programmer tabs" is ticked or not. In both cases they are actually empty (no CVs to change).

This behaviour is due to a deficiency in the XML code for this decoder. By deliberate design, custom panes do not participate in empty tab hiding. It's assumed an empty pane created by a developer is there for good reason (e.g. A README pane). If the developer wants a custom pane hidden when empty, this must be done by using include/exclude or qualifier elements in the pane XML.
