Re: Problem loading Bachrus Speedometer
#bachrus
Sorry to be slow replying, was trying to reproduce this without much luck. It seems to be a problem with the start-up wizard. When you set up JMRI for just your Power Cab, is everything working OK? If so, let’s avoid the start-up wizard and try to directly add the speedometer via the preferences: 1) make sure your setup is working with the Power Cab OK. 2) Open Preferences (might be called Settings) -> Connection pane. There should just be one tab for your NCE connection 3) Click the “+” sign next to that tab to create a 2nd connection 4) Fill that out, selecting Bachrus speedometer. 5) Is COM6 one of the port choices? If so select it. If not, we’ll have to figure out why. 6) Save and restart. Bob On Mar 26, 2025, at 1:06?PM, James Little via groups.io <jlittletrains@...> wrote:

When I press OK on the message, it then goes back to the "Finish and Connect" screen. When I press Finish again the message appears again, so it's looping.
When I press Cancel, it goes back to the initial startup screen and Gettin Started in RED.
I then restarted JMRI and selected my Power Cab. The program opened, with no sign of the Bachrus connection in Preferences. I then added Bachrus, saved the page and restarted JMRI. Now i get the screen of Error Initializing Decoder Pro. saying it cannot create a connection to Speedo (A). Serial Port COM6 not found.
Checking my Device Manager it shows the Bachrus Speedo Interface (COM6).
So I'm not sure where or what in JMRI isn't making the connection.

What happens if you press OK on that message, then press “Finish” on the underlying window?
If you then close and restart JMRI, what happens?

Hello;
I recently tried installing my Bachrus Speedometer on a(newer) laptop with JMRI on it.
It has Win 10; JMRI 5.11.4, NCE Power Cab (latest chip v1.65b) all installed. Power Cab runs fine on system.
I had trouble loading the supplied driver (from 2006), but after discussing it with a good friend who is a Windows Certified Technician, he walked me through a procedure to instal a "legacy" driver. Windows now sees the unit ( in Device Manager). I walked through the JMRI setup for Bachrus speedometer, all the way through to the (almost) End. This message appeared, which to me says there's something in JMRI that need updating...?
<JMRI Bachrus Prob.png>
As what JMRI need is WAAAAAY beyond my paygrade, is there someone out there (preferably a develope) who I could work with to resolve this?

This indicates that the block where the train is starting is unoccupied. If the roster/address is missing the error message states that. There is an outstanding bug where it thinks the address is missing which I am working on.

Re: Chaining transits with a different locomotive
#dispatcher
Stvge,
When you try to add an action, I don't think JRMI stores the locomotive with either its DCC number or its name in the roster. This causes an error:
ERROR - No train in start block 'Bypass (IB:AUTO:0001)', cannot create an Active Train [AWT-EventQueue-0]
What could that be ?

What is specified in your traininfo file that you are loading, Roster, User... etc
In the Load Traininfo are you specifying Default/Current/Roster/Address??
?
I have found a problem that generates an error specifying that there is no DCC address, but canot reproduce the problem as reported. PS the trainname may be the same, but the DCC address should be different.

Re: problem with decoderpro
If the layout power button shows green when you start DecoderPro
then you probably have the sprog set to command mode.
Under settings and then DCC Connection, try altering the System
Connection from Sprog Command Station to just SPROG.
I have configured my DecoderPro to have two connection profiles,
one for each of the above and disable/enable them for whichever
profile I need at the time.

Re: Adding Signal Heads @ Dbl Slip using "Set Signal Heads at a Slip" Tool
#ssl
#layouteditor
Dave, thanks for reviewing my problem. I followed your advice and changed block assignments around the double slip (plus cleaning up some other "Block Boundary" issues). All is working well now. Many thanks for your?suggestions, Cheers, Paul Young
Paul,
I have reviewed your upload.
Block 1 includes track segments attached to the connection points on the slip.? The subsequent anchor points create block boundaries.
SSL requires signal heads at anchor point block boundaries.? You do not have the required signal heads at the block boundary anchor points which results in the error messages.
The simple fix is to change the block assignments for the track segments to match the neighbor track segments.? This eliminates the block boundaries.
Note: ?Signals are used to protect entry into points of conflict.? These are normally turnouts and level crossings (diamonds).? There is rarely any requirement to protect the exit from a turnout or level crossing.? You don't want to enter if you cannot exit.

Paul,
My understanding is that the message occurs when it is not possible to find a "next" signal head to be protected.
If you upload the layout data xml file to the group's ProblemsBeingWorkedOn file folder, it might be possible to identify the issue.

Good evening Moderators and group:
?
My setup:
Win10, Digitrax PR3
Digitrax DCS210, DCS50 (throttle/ booster only), DT400, DT500
SE8C x2, BDL16 x2, SE74 x2, DS64 x4, UR90 x2, UP5
Signals are Digitrax SHABC and SH2AB
Panel Pro 5.2+R760b98537f, java 11.0.19
?
The layout is essentially a reversing loop to reversing loop arrangement, with SSL installed over most of the layout and working correctly.
I have a Layout Editor panel which correctly displays occupancy, powered turnout positions and signal aspects and correctly match what is displayed on the physical layout.
?
There is 1 powered double slip that I am now trying to add SSL to using the "Set Signal Heads at a Slip" Tool.
I used an earlier post by Dave Sand as a guide ... #233359.
However, I get the following error:
"Cannot set up logic because next signal (in or at the end of block "Block_1" is apparently not yet defined"
There are 4 block boundaries defined (the slip is part of Block_1 as well), and signal heads at all of these boundaries.
If I try to "Set Signal Heads at a Block Boundary", I get an error message that the signal heads in question are already in use on the layout diagram.
?
I placed most of the signal heads on the layout diagram and created the SSL without using the "Set Signal Heads at a Block Boundary" or other tools ... could this be part of my difficulty? Perhaps it's time to move to SML?
I would be grateful for any suggestions as to how to proceed from here.
Thank you all,
Paul Young

Hi I'm trying to connect my dcs52 to Jmri.? It's connected to the USB port (printer cable) on the dcs52 to a USB port on my computer.? The device manager says it's connected on Com3.? Decoderpro says Loconet is online, but when I try to read the decoder it says "Stopping due to error: Timeout talking to command station (306)".? I have Windows 11 and got Java 17 to run Jmri.? Jmri 5.10

Running installtest.bat found in the jmri install folder may also help.

Common problems are not using the oracle uninstall tool if you have ever used an oracle java and using a 32bit java on a 64bit windows os.

Re: PanelPro New Feature - Panel Swipe Navigation on Tablet
Only benefit I could think of is a swipe doesn’t take up space on the display like a button does. Granted that’s not a great UI that you’d have to know that behavior is expected. But at least with a layout, you have a clear concept what’s to the left and right of your current position. Maybe just a colored edge or something as a visible clue, I don’t know. ? -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team

Re: PanelPro New Feature - Panel Swipe Navigation on Tablet
Vinny,
While I guess anything is possible, I would see it as a lot of work for little benefit, as the linking labels are already in place and provide the same functionality, except with a click instead of a swipe.
