Locked Why the choice of internal layouts and Loconet?

[email protected]
 

What is the difference between internal and loconet?
Locked Getting last signal prior to fiddle yard to automatically cycle back to green (BR 4 Aspect)

 

Hi All


I know this has been asked before but i can't find a definitive answer so sorry for asking again !


Im using block detection and BR 4 aspect signalling and I want the last signal on the layout prior to entering the fiddle yard to automatically cycle back to green, once the block section beyond the signal has cleared.


How can I achieve this in JMRI ?


Many thanks

I just joined the JMRIusers group to interact with more model railroaders. I design and build all the DCC electronics on our Sun City layout in Georgetown Texas. It now consists of 22 modules interconnected to form a 12ft x 32ft rectangular layout with yards, staging area, crossovers, turntable, and industries. please allow me to join the Yahoo group.
Thanks

OK, but I want to avoid the one node-one sketch thing ;-)
My idea is more along these lines: you plug your equipments on a generic node, you do the setup through JMRI (this I dont know how to do) and that's it.
This would enable people with no knowledge of programming to use these nodes in different config.

The same warning applies to Windows Defender on Win10. Just click on the more info button, then accept to run it.

Locked Audio WAV sounds storage

 

When I create the audio wav sounds by creating buffers and audio sources when I have them created if i close down Decoder Pro Panel Pro the audio files are not there anymore , I have tried saving them in Panels by creating audio folder but it will not work ?


Please someone that has the ability to do what I am trying to do please help , I am sure that it is a simple way to do what it is that I am trying to do .
Locked Scripts used in Routes

 

If i were to create a script in Word would it work in Decoder pro, in Routes and were should I save it to to be able to access in the script tab menu in routes . I guess what I am asking what folder in JMRI do you save work in to access it in other areas of Panel pro or decoder pro ?


The sample script can be changed to help with my creating scripts but I can not save the changes anywhere so that I could use them in JMRI
Locked Audio and Scripts

 

Hello and I am in need of help in a couple of areas ?
I am using the latest version of java and the latest test version of JMRI Decoder Pro
I want to play wav sounds when I set my routes , I have the wave sounds and I try to use the Audio in panel pro


I have added the buffers and audio sources . but i can not get the sound to play when i set my routes?
Were do I save the wav file too ?
I have tried saving them in panels not sure how or what to do to get this done.


The second thing is similar I want to use scripts at some routes were do I create the scripts to and how do I access the scripts to load the in routes ? The script tab under routes has no way for me to load a script
Locked Re: MTH Proto Sound / Decoder Pro issues?

 

I dont think MTH has a lock, there is nothing listed in the manual, they are a dcs system, not dcc.

Hi
It's not locked by any chance, the new decoders can do that.

The PROTO DCC DECODER doesn't want to cooperate with Decoder Pro. Maybe
it's just me, but I can't seem to adjust any cv's or settings?
Is this a known issue, or am I just lucky...LOL!

Locked Re: Ops: Timetable, wait time

 

Try the latest test release 4.7.6. You can now set train departure times to the minute.

Car wait counts are decremented every time a train that can pull the car is built. It is not restored if you then reset the train. There's isn't an easy way today to understand that a car that isn't part of the train being reset needs it's wait count restored. Resetting a train releases cars that were assigned to the train, but a car with a wait count isn't assigned to the train, so the train "reset" function doesn't know which car wait counts were touched during the build.


Also car move and track usage counts aren't restored when using a train reset. So things can and do change every time you reset and build a train.


If you need consistent train builds, you should use the backup / restore feature.

Depends on which MTH model you have. The newest models with the DCS/DCC decoders work fine on Decoder Pro. The older P3 models do not. With an older P3 model you can program the long address on the programming track all other CV¡¯s can sometimes be programmed on the main. Each incarnation of the P3 decoder has different issues when using Decoder pro. The last MTH loco I bought was the DM&IR Yellowstone which will program fine on Decoder Pro providing you change the selector switch from DCS to DCC before you put it on powered track. If you attempt to change the switch after it just gets confused and doesn¡¯t know what it is. With any P3 diesel or steam loco I rip out the DCS stuff and replace them with my decoder of choice.

Subject: [jmriusers] MTH Proto Sound / Decoder Pro issues?





Has anyone experienced any problems programming a MTH proto sound 3 locomotive using Decoder Pro?
The PROTO DCC DECODER doesn't want to cooperate with Decoder Pro. Maybe it's just me, but I can't seem to adjust any cv's or settings?
Is this a known issue, or am I just lucky...LOL!
Thanks

Hi
It's not locked by any chance, the new decoders can do that.

Locked jmri throttle direction control - newbie question

[email protected]
 

I'm working on my first HO layout and am exploring all my options for DCC controllers. One feature that I'd really like on a hand held controller is a single button that toggles the direction each time the button is pressed. is there a way to customize the jmri throttle so that direction can be toggled using a single "button" instead of individual forward and reverse "buttons"?


Thanks,
Rob

Bob; my only 2 options were

/dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port; &



/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port


I switched to the 2nd one & it appears to be rectified in the System Console

But I still see 2 different errors.


Like I stated earlier I am a newbie to Wifi & JMRI


Thanks to all!
Locked Ops: Timetable, wait time

 

Question: Is there a way to have ops put the time to the minute (not rounded by 5) into the manifests?


Observation: When doing a build followed by reset, the wait counts on cars are not put back. Is this a known "feature?"
Locked Re: 1156 Bulbs On Switch Frogs

 

Hi,
You see half brightness because you are loading the frog lamp with an equal test lamp. The sound decoders are not going to draw nearly as much power as an 1156 test lamp draws. I suspect that you have some real shorting issue going on, not something due to the voltage drop in the frog lamp. I also dislike using the 1156 lamps, but not for the usual reasons that people give. See: for the reason why.

I've never been a fan of 1156 bulbs for current limiting. I prefer fast-acting/fast-reset DCC circuit breakers.

Your test light shows the problem. Draw sufficient current and the 1156 in the feeder from the Tortoise drops the voltage too much (only in the absence of a direct feed from a stock rail). The TCS WOW (along with many sound decoders) is relatively power hungry and the voltage drop of the combined decoder sound amplifier, internal logic chips plus motor and lights is sufficient to shut down the decoder briefly. The dropout voltage is usually quite high (varies from brand to brand) so not unexpected behaviour.

I know this is not directly JMRI related, but I think this is the
best DCC forum to mention this observation. For many years I have wired 1156 automotive light bulbs in series with my frog feeders to prevent a short at the switch points, such as from running a closed switch, from taking down my DCC system (Digitrax). I only make cuts on the frog rails on the side away from the points. So in theory, if I have a bad connection between the points and the stock rail, the connection to the frog, through the 1156, will supply power to the frog via the back contacts on a Tortise. Recently I noticed that I had several turnouts where the sound would disappear when a train went through (TCS WOW). Utilizing a test light (another 1156) I discovered that the light was only about half as bright in the areas where the sound disappeared. Cleaning the points and stock rail connection restore the light to full brightness and the sound returned. As an experiment I installed a thin piece of plastic between the stock rail and the points and observed the same situation. Before sound decoders, this wasn't an issue, but now it seems that preventing one problem (a short) can create another (loss of sound). Has anyone else observed this situation?
Locked Re: What protocol is easier for turnout/signals via arduino

 

Hi,
A key advantage of the Peer-Peer network is that any device can talk directly to any other device. No computer is required to support even the most basic of communications like a polled protocol requires. You may even have enough horse power in your nodes to do ABS signaling. JMRI is still an important tool during configuration, but if you are writing specific code for each node anyway, you might even be able to skip over the configuration step.

Another option is OpenLCB, which according to its proponents is "the future".

It is an event message based approach. What this means is that it is not necessary to poll a sensor. It will send a message when a change happens.

I'm trying to implement the basic protocols on arduino nanos with an ESP8266 wifi gateway to JMRI. It's not yet complete, but what I have so far seems to be working.

If I read your post correctly, you haven't built the transport layer yet. OpenLCB uses a CAN bus rather than RJ45. MCP2515 SPI-CAN adapters are available cheaply from China. I got mine from Tx-Hang's ebay store.

Locked MTH Proto Sound / Decoder Pro issues?

 

Has anyone experienced any problems programming a MTH proto sound 3 locomotive using Decoder Pro?
The PROTO DCC DECODER doesn't want to cooperate with Decoder Pro. Maybe it's just me, but I can't seem to adjust any cv's or settings?
Is this a known issue, or am I just lucky...LOL!
Thanks
Locked Re: Turnout Lockout

 

John,

I am under the impression that JMRI's turnout "lock" feature does not do anything useful for Loconet connections. LocoNet itself does not have any specific "features" to directly support turnout locking.

There is one "generic" LocoNet feature which could possibly be used for this (the "Bushby" bit) but noone has submitted any code for JMRI which makes that feature provide any sort of a turnout "lock".

There are, however, other approaches.

If you are willing to configure a JMRI "Logix" conditional or two for each turnout which you would like to "lock". First, you change the turnout's physical address to be a number which cannot be accessed by a throttle. Then you allocate an internal sensor or LocoNet sensor to act as the "lock" indication for the turnout. Then you create a JMRI Logix to deal with the turnout (or even more than one), then you create a Logix Conditional which is sensitive to the "original, unmodified" turnout address and is also sensitive to the internal/LocoNet "locking" sensor; if the locking sensor is active and the orignal-numbered turnout is changed to "thrown", then send a "change to thrown" message to the renumbered physical turnout. If the locking sensor is active and the original-numbered turnout is changed to "closed", then send a "change to closed" message to the renumbered physical turnout.

You can re-use one "locked" sensor for more than one turnout, if appropriate, or implement one "locked" sensor per lockable turnout. But you will need two Logix "conditionals" for each turnout you wish to control, and two "conditional actions" for each turnout you wish to control.

With this in place, it is "simply" a matter of deciding how to control the various "locking" sensors. JMRI logix, jython, etc. are possible ways to control those locks.

Billybob
