The changes I’m incorporating can be handled with some minor manual edits to the model board. I’m not adding or deleting any sensors on the model board either, just modding some graphics.?
OTOH, it seems like the most straightforward way to edit the columns is with the GUI generation tool.?

Wow. That's a new one. Does LaunchJMRI.exe exist in the same directory as the install test.bat? Were you running in a powershell or command (cmd) window?

Re: convert Layout Editor panel to control panel editor panel

Re: Problem loading Bachrus Speedometer
#bachrus
Bob - I did as you suggested.? My power cab is on Com7 and the Bachrus on Com6.?
I then Started Jmri on NEC-Pwr Cab and it started normally, showing a good connection to the Power Cab.? I deleted an seetin of Internal, and Bachrus.? Restarted Decoder Pro. I then went to Preferences-> Connections and created the Bachrus setup..? Restarted Dec Pro again. After it started, and showed the Power Cab connection green, I selected?Speedo from the selections ( top row).? The Speedo screen came up.? When I selected an engine and pressed 'Start' on the panel it ran the engine through all 28 speed steps.? Unfortunately the graph showed a flatline for the entire 28 steps!?? From What I see now, it the software appears to allbe working.? There's a problem with my speed roller communicating to Decoder Pro? which I'll have to investigate.
Thanks for you help!! JIm Little, MMR
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.

I don’t suppose you are up for trying a totally different approach? But I too was trying a few different aproaches to automate trains via JMRI 10 years ago on my very small layout.

I ended up creating signal controlled warrants and a Jython script.
I'm developing my automation based on JMRI Warrants and Signals with SML. Warrants write a script for each autotrain which can be easily modified on the screen.
I can hold an autotrain with a signal at danger until I want it to depart.

Re: Automatic Dispatching
This is a common problem when moving the signal heads and SSL to signal masts and SML. ?For various reasons, it was common to include the turnout with the track attached to the points end. ?This means that there is no block boundary for signal masts.
For Dispatcher automation purposes, the 5.11.2 (and later) JMRI test release has a "ghost" block feature. ?This makes it possible to create a block for the turnout with an internal sensor. ?This provides the block boundary for a signal mast at the points end. ?See??for information on ghost blocks.
After creating the ghost block, the signal mast logic (SML) for the affected signal mast will need to be updated.

I"ve been studying the JMRI manual an experimenting, and I've come up with a new question related to auto trains and Signal Masts:
?
Every time I ask to set Signal Masts, the window offers only the Masts on the frog end of the Turnout.? Am I correct if I assume this is because the poitns end of the turnout is part of the Block connected to the points?
?
I had my signals defined by Signal Heads.? For Turnout LT501, for instance, IH 501A controlled the continuing path and IH 50B the diverging path from the points end, and IH501C the continuing path and IH501D the diverging path from the frog end.
?
If the Turnout is not its own discrete Block,how do I set a Signal Mast for trains leaving the Block via this Turnout?
?
Oh, and will I be able to use the Mast to operate auto trains?

Re: Automatic Dispatching
Another question, my old signal heads changed aspects as I opened and closed the Turnout.? When I set Masts instead of the Heads, they don't seem to respond to turnout postion.? What have I misse here?

I would expect that the aspects will be set based in signaling rules. ?Random does not make sense.

Having more sensor and AUI would be a goo thing... but for now this is good.

Most people dont adhire to the signal rules anyways.

Can you explain to be about varibles?

for example...
?
masts.getSignalMast('Signal Mast, Table 10, Track 5, West Bound').setAspect('Limited Clear')

I'd like to change 'Limited Clear' to other aspects randomly.

All,
?
Recently developed a problem with one of my older diesels, an N scale Bachmann with Econami factory installled. Def used is ECO-100 Diesel.
Sound was fine, loco would not move.
?
On the programming track, I loaded the loco's DecoderPro roster entry file and used the CVs tab to compare all values. No differences. Loco still not moving.
?
Did a Reset. Loco now moves. Rewrote all CVs from the loco's roster entry file. Loco now will again not move. To emphasize, these settings have worked fine for years.
?
Are there some settings somewhere that DecoderPro can not see or change, except by reset?
?

Folks,
I tried the version on Jenkins that includes "Dark Mode" (JMRI.5.11.4plus+jenkins+20250328T2349Z+R78beda49484) and I found the following:
In the "Set Signal Mast" popup:
Tthe text is not visible and there is no <blank> available in the signal mast selection drop down.

I'll keep checking it out.? Otherwise it meets my needs and works so far.

Re: Chaining transits with a different locomotive
#dispatcher
Stev,
There is a train in the block.
The thing is that? whan I try to add the action in the transit, JRMI doesnt' store the locomotive.? I even try a roster entry or a DCC address. No difference.
Here is an example, I've added the BR-218 machine to the action and save the transit :
But when I try to relaod the transit the locomotive has gone.
Any idea.? JeanLouisDelestre@...

There is at least one bug, but thats not what is causing your problem, it produces a very distinct error message.
The first problem you had, abouit a train running using the wrong dcc address may be a new bug, but without the information I asked for I cannot recreate.
You current problem is not a bug, you appear to be trying to start a train that isnt in its designated starting position.
