Tony,

BTW, in your Cars window, there's a column marked "Moves", if you've never moved or terminated a train, the car move counts should all be zero.

RailDriver Console

#150240

A friend of mine picked up the RailDriver console at Goodwill for $6...?

Has anyone used one recently?? My CentOS Linux system recognizes it, and JMRI detects it, but it never launches a throttle window.? How can I start debugging this?

Thanks

bounced messages

#150238

E-mails for all groups.io groups that I subscribe to including this group are getting bounced for the following reason:

550 5.7.1 [C10] RBL restriction: Blacklisted by Internal Reputation Service - 66.175.222.12

What does reason mean?

I am unable to find anything to fix this. What do I need to do stop the bouncing?

Re: operations routes and locations

Tony,

Are you saying that your locos and cars have moved from where you placed them?? When you build a train, the car's destination changes each time you build a train.? If you think you have a problem, turn on car, loco, & train logging and we'll be able to see when and how a car or loco is moved.? Also turn on "Save Train Manifests" this will help us figure out what's going on.

I am using the train build options window.

There are two places to say what to do.

In the first I choose the caboose option enter classification yd and add caboose.

That works perfect.

Now after the cars are delivered the engine comes back with the caboose to the classification yard where i want to place it on the caboose track and then the engine goes to the engine yard

How do i do that?

If i use the second item on the train build options window i select classification yard and remove caboose.

Now the build selects an engine in the engine yard, gets caboose from classification yard, removes the caboose in the classification yard, goes to industrial area to set cars without a caboose

Z21 and POM

#150234

I try to program via POM with my Roco Z21 (black), and note a strange problem: CV can be read, but I have error "Timeout talking to command station (306)" every time I try to write a value to a cv. The strange thing is that if I re-read the CV value I get the new value, so the cv is written, but the error message is shown.
Is possible to remove the error message?

I have no problems programming via programming track.
I'm using JMRI 4.12
Z21 has firmware 1.32

Any help appreciated
Moreno

What version of Jmri were you on before you upgarded to "latest version". And by latest version, do you mean 4.12 recommended stable version?? or 4.13.1 test version?? or 4.13.2 ish from nightly builds??

Also, what computer platform windows, linux, mac, pi???

If you were on JMRI 4.10 before updating, that version had a bad habit of automatically changing connection preferences to internal. Just updating your Jmri will not fix that. You must go into preferences and fix it there as well.

Also, windows 10 in particular does auto updates and there have been reports of it affecting com ports.?

Mor information from you will help those with thr knowledge to assist you.

<I’m trying to figure out how to get some help.>

The following is just a suggestion so you can take it for FWIW.? I've been a member of and moderated other forums for years.? The first thing to do when asking for or seeking help online is to give a descriptive subject title to your post rather than just the word "Help".? I guarantee you'll lose 50% or more of your potential answers because some members won't take the time or bother to click on your post to see what you need help for.? Something like "Connecting to JMRI issues: Worked before; now it doesn't" will help channel the right folks with the know-how to help you out of your predicament.

Again, FWIW...

I am new to JMRI.? My computer told me that there is a new version of Java
available (Java 8 Update 181).

Is it best to do the updates as they come out or wait awhile before installing
them?

Thanks, Woody

John,

? ? I believe if the settings in Preferrences for connections has been changed to internal instead of Loconet would cause that.

Dear dan

After building a train i view the output and then reset the train.

I dont press move to tell the program that each part of the route has been executed.

My car and engine lists locations have been changed even though i didnt run the train.

Is there a setting somewhere i got wrong. The manual says the location doesnt get changed until i press move
