Real Snow,



The MRC interfaces to JMRI ok. One issue to consider with signaling is the
need to have:

1. Some way to detect where trains are on the tracks.

2. Some way to know which direction the turnouts are set.

3. Some way to control some of the turnouts remotely.

4. Some way to set the signals.



I don't think MRC has anything for #1 and I'm not sure of #2. They do
directly support #3 and #4. So you may find you have to mix some other types
of interfaces to cover all the needs. One example would be a LocoBuffer and
some of the many interface boards from RR-CirKits. JMRI is just fine mixing
many different systems for different uses so this would work with your MRC
controlling the trains. There are a number of other systems out there for
the rest of your signaling needs and you should check around to see what
provides your needs bet.

Hello, I've had my MRC Prodigy Advanced 'squared' system for 8 years now and have been very happy with it. However I've only ever used the one base station and a single tethered controller. I got it because I like the controller and programing with it is easy as can be. I am starting a new larger layout and will be needing more than a single power district, and several controllers. I would also like to use JMRI to setup an automated signaling system along with block detection. I know MRC recently got a computer interface capability but will I be able to do all these things with an MRC system or will I just be constantly beating my head against the wall? I know a lot of people badmouth the MRC system but those same people have never used one before either.

My local group of model railroaders all seem to use Digitrax, and I sure it does everything i need and more but I don't like their controllers as well and I guess I like to be different, ha

Bob:

Not yet, the only test was a pair of USB to 232 and 485 standard dongles and they were happy with stock macOS... I need to relocate some pieces and parts to be sure all is well.

Not sure what you’re actually asking.

There are still lots of changes being made to the operations code. Here’s a list of what Dan Boudreau has been doing, for example:



Is there something specific you’re looking for?

Hi guys, I loaded the test version 4.7.6+R570b2bc with Java 1.8.0_131 (en_GB), on Windows 10 64bit Version 1703 OS Build 15063.413.


Much improved in various ways, especially drop-down lists of objects from the editor in Panel Pro.


I do however have some problems.


1. Signal Mast orientation is getting lost over restarts.
1.1 Also, the default orientation on a crossover seems arbitraryily set.
1.2 Also right clicking on the mast icon to bring up the menu sometimes (often) doesn't work unless you avoid the light and click the leg...
2. I am getting flashing green/red mast aspects on a cross-over. I realize that there may be a conflict in the logic. What I had hoped was that if I could choose a route by setting a signal to green manually, but when it flashes, it seems the logic is not 'active' properly, nor can I click on it to set it to an aspect. Is there a way round this? Is there a definite reason for the flashing??
3. Had a problem loading panels after maybe adding logix or something in a test panel, but then worked ok - my layout also wont load....
4. I am not sure if I am saving properly - when I quit out it tells me to save configuration data... but doesn't saving panels do this anyway?? What is the correct procedure for updating configuration data please??
I think some logic is getting lost over saves probably as I am not doing this right. I will look at this further...


This all may not be the case in older versions...


I am very happy to test further updates / provide my panels (test ones are more useful - the larger layout may give people headaches!)


John

Running 4.7.6. I read a suggestion in another post to run
TurnOffXmlValidation.py before loading the panel and that works. Panel
will now load without the error.

Here are the offending lines:

<signalhead
class="jmri.implementation.configurexml.SE8cSignalHeadXml"
systemName="IH:SE8C:"LT419";"LT420"" userName="LH82">
<systemName>IH:SE8C:"LT419";"LT420"</systemName>
<userName>LH82</userName>
<turnoutname defines="low">LT419</turnoutname>
<turnoutname defines="high">LT420</turnoutname>
</signalhead>

Thank you!

Did you need to (re-)load any hardware drivers before it would see the layout?

Richard,



First thing is to look at the log file from starting JMRI. Since you aren't
getting a screen to interact with, you go to the files. Off the JMRI
directory under your username, ex c:&#92;Users&#92;Richard&#92;JMRI and then look for
the 'log' directory. The file session.log is the results of the last attempt
to start JMRI. You can read it with a simple text editor like Notepad. Doing
a cut/paste from that into a message for us would help.



The files message.log are a sequence of all your prior runs of JMRI. There
may be further clues in there, but the current session is the starting
point.

Hi.
I had a similar problem with my 64bit Windows 10 laptop. It was something
related to Java I suppose. Just open the task manager and look for services
that start with "jogamp"+a series of numbers. If they are there, try to
terminate them and the jurisdiction startup should resume. Hope it helps.

Is anyone else having this issue? After installing 4.7.5, I see the Java
logo, and then the JMRI logo, but then nothing. No error messages, nothing.
It just goes away.


So I tried 4.7.6, but get the same result. Then I tried 4.6 production
with same result. Next, I uninstalled Java and JMRI, wiped out the
directories, and rebooted. Installed 4.6 again but still no launch.


I am running Windows 10 Pro on a 64 bit machine, and I have had numerous
successful prior versions on this machine for years.


Any ideas?


Thanks,

Hi,


I found the answer to importing division and csv modules in to JMRI script:


Place:


from __future__ import division
import csv



as the first lines in the script.

I have not used JMRI for several months and the only chnage to my layout since its last use is the introduction of NCE EB1 circuit breaker. ?Since fitting the EB1, I have been able to operate everything with my Power/Pro Cab and SB3a booster but now find that I cannot operate anything through JMRI. ?JMRI loads properly; there are no error codes or messages in red; I can display the panel and the roster but cannot get either the throttles or the points to work. ?On screen, the points change but nothing happens on the layout - equally, the throttle functions highlight and the slider works but nothing moves. ?Can anyone iddentify the problem and tell me how to overcome it pleas?

Hi,


As part of some tests I'm doing on RFID tag reading at speed I'd like to use the division and csv functions in my JMRI script.


Does anyone know how to import/ turn on these modules?.


Also which version of Jython does JMRI 3.8 and 4.6 use?.




Regards


Nick

With these steps the train's manifest appears in preview.
>Operations?>trains>build>preview>
Is it possible to print this preview manifest to file? If so how is this
done please?

If the bell on 5629 was ringing or its headlight was on prior to selecting CON 5203, you will not be able to turn either off using CON 5203. You will need to select CON 5629, turn them off and then reselect CON 5203.

You can only operate switches in the loco cab you currently occupy (the CON xxxx you currently have selected), same applies to a real loco.

If all locos need to respond to the command (e.g. Sound On, Mute, Brake) that is when you set that F key bit in CVs 21/22)
