Re: Loklsound and JMRI

#138256

As far as CV programming is concerned, the latest version (V4.7.7) of JMRI is just as capable as the latest LokProgrammer (V4.5.3).

LokProgrammer is very much faster at Read All Sheets and Write All Sheets than JMRI.
JMRI can Read and Write single sheets or Variables/CVs. Lokprogrammer cannot
JMRI can Program on Main. LokProgrammer cannot.
JMRI can read CV export lists from LokProgrammer. LokProgrammer cannot read any CV export lists.
LokProgrammer can write new Sound Projects and rewrite project default CV settings. JMRI cannot do either.
JMRI can correctly identify the decoder type of any fourth generation ESU decoder.
You must "Read Type from decoder" in New Loco and use the chosen definition.
You MUST Read Sheet before making any changes to ESU decoders. Every sound project has different default values.


If you are programming speed tables, ESU interprets speed tables slightly differently. You ned to use the correct ESU definition and read the instructions on the Speed table pane carefully. Program Track or Program on main work equally well for Speed Tables (or any other pane, but you must Read Sheet first for the complex panes where you are not changing everything).
I added the last ESU updates only a few days ago and they are in V4.7.7.
I have a good working relationship with Matthew Herman of ESU LLC. The latest ESU firmware incorporates a change I negotiated on behalf of NCE system users for full compatibility with NCE Advanced Consisting.
I have put a lot of development time into adding ESU-specific features to JMRI.

Sending String between computers over loconet?

#138255

Hi everyone.
 
 I have 2 computers with panel pro running on the same loconet.    Is there any way that I could pass a string between the 2 computers?   
 
 I want to be able to pass a train identity and berth identity between the 2 computers.   The train number format is number, letter, number, number i.e. 1A23 and the berth identity is just a 4 digit number.
 
 I don't have RFID or anything fancy like.
 
 Does anyone have an inspired way of achieving this?
 
 Thanks

Trouble installing latest version.

#138253

I am trying to install the latest jmri version on my MacOS, Sierra version 10.12.5.
 Download is good but get this message when attempting to install.
 " jmri.4.6-R81496dc.dn no mountable file system"
 What is the computer illiterate guy missing?

#138252

It's there on my Mac OS X 10.9.5, Java 1.8.0u131 and JMRI V4.7.7

I checked my other computer running 4.7.6 and it is available there as well. 

Bob just released 4.7.7, why don't you give that a try.

Jay, 

On my 4.7.6 install it is #7 on the System Manufacturer drop-down between CTI Electronics and DCC4PC.

Test Releases 4.7.7 is available

#138247

Test version 4.7.7 of JMRI/DecoderPro is available for download.

This is close to the last in a series of test releases that will culminate in a JMRI 4.8 production release, hopefully in July 2017.

We would greatly appreciate people testing this version so that we can find any new problems before releasing JMRI 4.8

For more information on the issues, new features and bug fixes in 4.7.7 please see the release note:

I just checked on 4.7.7 (soon to be released) and it is there as an option.

Hi! I upgraded to he newest version of JMRI.
I noticed that DCC++ is no longer available as a system option.
It's gone!
Is this something that was missed or something else?

Re: JMRI & Windows Vista

#138243

Oracle supports Java 8 on Windows Vista. If you have troubles installing it, use the offline installer from <> (you can even install Java 8 on Windows XP that way).

You shouldn't have any trouble installing the latest JMRI (once you have Java 8 installed). If you have an old JMRI version, the installer should happily remove obsolete JMRI files when you upgrade.

Clean up the disk and try to run a dual boot with 7. That's your best option being that you want to keep the older programs.

Windows upgrades are not supposed to wipe out existing files and software,
but may not play well with the older software.  If the installer is  asking
to format or otherwise wipe the drive you may be choosing the 'new
install' option instead of 'upgrade'.

Re: WOW 121/ERROR (308)

#138240

I did some tests with WOW decoders when they first came out and found they failed sheet operations with some command stations. A few of us did some tests and it seemed the decoders may not have complied fully with the NMRA Service Mode timing requirements (when reading-writing indexed CVs). I experienced what appears to be unrecoverable firmware corruption with several chips and gave up testing, having more pressing things to do.

TCS released newer firmware that was purported to help and (if my memory serves me correctly) also submitted modified JMRI code that introduced timing delays in the TCS Indexed CV code.

But that was some years ago and a lot of water has flowed under the bridge in my life since then...

It is the "Read all CV's" or 'Sheet" that gives me the errors.

Re: JMRI and Tsunami2 TSU-1100

#138238

I started this thread over an article I was writing for the Trolleyville Times August 1 issue about a specific streetcar we were building using an old Q-Car shell, a modified Bowser RTR PCC floor and a Tsunami decoder plus LED lights and now I am ending it.
Thanks to all of you, especially Marc, who responded. I have been called a few names (ignorant, insulting, etc) but I never got the problem fixed after five days. One of you tried very hard but I had trouble understanding a lot of what he wanted me to do. Two of us in our club worked the issue and have now terminated our desire to use JMRI. 
It appears that unless we had one of the experts standing next to our computers, this problem would never get resolved and we must get to other things. Since that will probably never happen, we have to quit and move on! 
I have loved using DecoderPro since I downloaded it from the Digitrax web site many years ago. it was the most useful tool I had in discussing DCC with most members. At this time it is totally useless to me! It was working one day and not the next and nothing was changed, except I did upgrade to 4.7.6 but it was not working before it did that.
Thanks again...over and out!

OK, I found out after I did the Java 6 install, I had an older version of Java 8 on my machine.
After Bob's post last night, I grabbed the latest version & loaded it.
This morning I tested it & it works fine!
It looks like Mac OS X 11 users should update Java to the latest release.
Thanks for the insight into this issue. Very perplexing!
