Re: Engine Driver Problem
Hi Harold,
Most likely, your problem is that your tablet uses an older version of WebView that does not support the WebSocket protocol.
All that EngineDriver does is use the device's builtin web browser, so upgrades to EngineDriver have no effect.
Unfortunately, upgrading the WebView version isn't possible.
The workaround is to use the older method of displaying panels, the frameserver. In EngineDriver Preferences, change the "Initial Web Page" preference from "/panel" to "/frame". This method has a few disadvantages, but give it a try and see if that works better with your pad.

I am running Engine Driver on a Wikipad for which the up to date operating system is Android 4.2.2.? I have the tablet set up so that, in portrate mode, I see the throttles and, in landscape mode, I see the layout panel and can operate the turnouts.? When i had JMRI 4.10, it all worked properly but, after I acquired a laptop on which to run JMRI, I installed JMRI 4.11.3 but was unable to try Engine Driver as I needed someone to set up the router for wireless connection to the laptop.? Recently the wireless connection has been made and I am able to run Engine Driver.
Before upgrading JMRI to 4.12, I ran Engine Driver on 4.11.3; although the throttles presented themselves (and operated) properly in portrate mode, the panel did not present properly in landscape mode.? I then installed JMRI 4.12 and had the same result with Engine Driver.? Next I upgrded Engine Driver to the latest version 2.19.55 and the problem persists.? Engine Driver was downloaded from Google Play Store.
The nature of the problem is that, although I believe all the turnouts are shown, a lot of the track segments are missing.? The same applies whether I select the panel for the whole layout or the Layout Editor panel, which contains just the routes of my back-and-forth shuttles.? Please, can any one explain what the problem is and how to overcome it?
Many thanks,
Harold.

Re: Decoder Pro returns 123 for all decoder settings
Problem solved. After a recent WIN10 maintenance (ugh!!!) it "lost" the LocoBuffer-USB, so I had to reinstall it. What I failed to notice at the time was that WIN had changed the port # from what was previously used. So when I checked DP preferences I mistaking assumed the previous used COM #. Today in looking in Device Manager I see the new COM #. Changed DP preferences and all is well.
I appreciate everyone help in this even though it was "User Error". :-))

Re: Train speed using sensors and Dispatcher
Graham,
To set the maximum speed for a particular section:
1) click on the Edit button in the transit table
2) when the sections for the transit are shown, press the "View/Add/Edit
Action" button for the section that needs a speed change
3) press the "Add New Action" button, select the "Set Maximum Speed" option

Re: Upgrading JMRI from 4.10 to 4.11.3 caused major issue
Good morning Roger,??
I clicked run anyway and it started to install JMRI and gave me the folowing warning:
Error opening file for writing:
C:\Program Files (x86)\JMRI\LaunchJMRIexe.
Click Abort to stop the installation,
Retry to try again, or
Ignore to skip this file
I hit abort it shuts down,? I hit retry and it continues to give me the same message, and I hit ignore and it loads.? However I cannot build any trains because it gives me the message at the beginning of this thread.? Does using Chrome have anything to do with this problem?

Re: Decoder Pro returns 123 for all decoder settings
Bob,
The LocoBuffer-USB runs at 57.6Kb. I'm not sure where you might have seen 125,000. However as long as you have 'LocoBuffer-USB' selected in JMRI, then the baud rate is locked to the correct value, so you don't need to worry about that. (be sure it is 'LocoBuffer-USB', not 'LocoBuffer').
This error is typical for incorrect defaults settings. Be sure that they are all set to 'LocoNet' and then saved. (then upgrade to 4.12)

Re: Decoder Pro returns 123 for all decoder settings
The other possibility (which hardly ever happens by mistake, but you never know) is that you are using the simulator. That, too, makes all requests return 123.
Absolutely forget about baudrate. This is either something set to internal that shouldn't be, or a simulator connection. Nothing else fits the symptom. Wouter

Re: New layouts of same railroad
George,
From the main PanelPro menu, select "Tools >> Tables >> any table¡±. From the table menu select "Store >> Store Configuration Only To File¡¡±. This will write the table contents without any panels.
Multiple panels are not an issue.
Keep in mind that the Layout Editor is NOT a CAD program. It has no concept of area or scale. You can approximate the concepts by setting the "Primary Grid Size" to the desired pixels per inch and the "Secondary Grid Size" to 12 (inches per foot). Adjusting a turnout image to match the length and angle of a #6 turnout will be a challenge.
Generally a Layout Editor panel represents either a logical or physical view of the layout. The logical view is normally a horizontal line from end to end (typically staging). The physical view normally includes all of the major curves and represents how the layout looks in the room.
I recommend that you update JMRI to 4.12. There are a lot of fixes and changes, especially in the Layout Editor.
