The "RailDriver (Built In)" is working as expected (on macOS).
In theory it should work for Windows users also however in practice I have received reports that it doesn't.
Not being a Windows developer (or having any Windows machines) I can't investigate or fix that issue.
To the best of my knowledge (from the reports I've received) it has something to do with USB device protections on Windows.
In theory it can be fixed by changing the RailDriver USB device protections (not that I know how to do that).

Re: Logix Conditional Reorder gray/not working
Ken,
When using the Tree editor, selecting a conditional row, a variable row or an action row enables the Move Up/Down buttons at the bottom.
Found it: Variable reorder is disabled in mixed mode. The theory is that the () grouping will need to be redone after the reorder is done and trying to predict the desired results is not feasible.

Re: reporter failing to update memory after track power is restored
#reporters
Hi Code sorted
Basically I have put a sensor connected to the district cutout via an opto-coupler, this goes active when the track power is cut due to a derailment. this event on CBUS is used to trigger a logix into running a script that sets all reporter values to a null string. the result is that when the train passes the detector again the value is read and the memory correctly updates the block memory.

Re: reporter failing to update memory after track power is restored
#reporters
Hi BillyBob,
Some pretty big generalisations there.
Perhaps asking the user what hardware they are using / request a simple worked example of the issue?
JMRI not responding to known valid input from any hardware is either a config. issue or a programming issue imho.
If every single issue is passed off as a JMRI quirk, nothing will ever get fixed!
ALL hardware implementations use the same code within jmri.Block.
Tim,
After a think about this, the Reporters are correct in not notifying the Block that properties?of the Reported Object have changed.
Proposed solution is to add a Property Change Listener to the Block Value Object ( if the value is an Object capable of Propert Change Triggering ).
Then, when the IdTag LastSeen value is updated, the block value will get refreshed.
Hope to put some code behind this theory imminently,
Steve.

Re: Request for a little help please on panels and roster throttle.
¡®?there are a row of small squares labeled ON and OFF.?¡¯
Bob S is correct. They are for dropping replacement button icons.
With your image files, I think you¡¯re trying to drop them in the wrong place. Go to the Media page and you¡¯ll see two squares. Drag and drop the image file to those squares. They are for large and small loco icons, not button icons.

Re: Logix Conditional Reorder gray/not working
Ken,
I have not seen any issues with the Conditional, Variable or Action reorder buttons.
Have you tried using the Tree Conditional editor?

Phil,
Who is looking for an "end anchor"? ?The panel, sections, transits, dispatcher?
I assume ?you are talking about a Layout Editor panel.
Unless there is an error in the panel, it will not need an "End Bumper" since it is just a loop which would only use "Anchor Points". ?End bumpers are used to terminate a track such as a dead end spur.
Use the Layout Editor "Tools >> Check" menu items to check for inconsistencies. ?A valid panel has no red connection boxes.

I have a test loop using 6 Anchors making 6 blocks that when I create 3 sections containing 2 blocks. The software is looking for an additional anchor. Do I need to add an End Anchor into the loop to designate the start.

Working with a more recent version of JMRI is always better, 4.11 is quite old now. I believe the latest Production version is 4.18. I have had few issues with using the test versions, currently at 4.19.3.

Re: Doing anything to a BLI SD40-2 w/Paragon 3 via JMRI - fails
This is identical to the problem I posted recently about not being able to even change address from default 03.? ?To clarify, I have NCE Power Pro and Pro Cab.? BLI has a Paragon decoder.? I don't know about the Athearn.? As suggested,??I tried again on program track and got the same message on DecoderPro and the ProCab basically can't find/read decoder.? I also tried going to CV 7 & 8 and got "can't read CV".??
Thanks

Re: Items needed to set up a programming track
Actually, the cheapest solution is a DCC++ base station. If you buy the Arduino board and motor shield off Ebay you can build a station for $30-$50, using original Arduino boards will increase the price about $30. Note that this is a no-solder, no-programming solution. You just need to be able to do some downloads and have a computer (Windows/Mac (Linux?)) to run the Arduino software loading program (or IDE for the nerds). Just Google DCC++, there is quite a bit of information out there. You can also PM me.?
P.S. For those attending the NMRA convention in St. Louis in July, I will be giving a clinic (twice) on how and why to build a DCC++ base station
