Re: Genesis OEM TSU2
开云体育Michael, I will try to get that value and check to see if there are bulbs or leds. Reads as a TSU2. But had problems reading and writing with the 12 volt power supply. Need to correct that first. On the WOW diesel Quill. Only looking at V3 and V4 wow diesel the quill choice was not there until i updated the definition but then on reopening a saved engine in the roster it is not. I feel it is my set up. but not sure what to look for. ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

Hi Peter

While running have the log display open PanelPro->Debug->Display Message Log and see if you get any messages. This problem is normally caused by block connectivity issues, turnout connectivity issues or a missing signal controlling the return exit from the last block.

But I _also_ want to encourage people (who want to) to get started with some code, as that gets something that’s working for at least some people much earlier. Code can be a big win, because JMRI users tend to get more joy out of using code on their railroad than they get of out reading requirements documents. There are many ways to do this, and many of them work. Although I certainly have seen the NASA “make sure of accurate and complete requirements” process work[1], it can be slow and expensive, so even they are starting to move toward a more iterative development cycle[4]. In less high-stakes projects, like pretty much all hobby software, one has to balance the possibility of implementing into a corner, with the possibility that all the requirements documentation becomes just an esoteric form of science fiction. In my experience, but perhaps not in other peoples, there’s a _much_ larger risk that nothing gets done than that almost-everything gets done but the last bit is harder than it could have been. So it’s good to start. JMRI example: When LayoutEditor was implemented by David Duchamp, the implementations for turnouts didn’t cover the possibility of two turnouts on the layout that responded to the same address. This turned out to be hard to retrofit and as far as I know hasn’t been; people work around it with scripts and/or Logix. One might say “Proves the point! More early thought!”, but reasonable people can differ on that: Layout Editor was out and being used for almost two _years_ before the 1st mention of that on jmriusers. A quick scan of emails shows over 60 people using “Layout Editor” in emails before that, so there were a lot more people getting use out of it for quite a while than there were people stuck; and the stuck people didn’t lose _anything_ because without David being motivated enough to just write Layout Editor, they wouldn’t have had anything at all. Don’t get me wrong. I agree there’s real value in somebody thinking through and _writing_ _down_ the tricky cases, things to look out for, etc. Careful & systematic thought is hard, and should be appreciated more. It’s a great contribution. But waiting for it is neither necessary nor sufficient to have something that runs and makes some people happy. The most important thing, by far, is for somebody to put their own time and effort into making _something_ that actually works for others.[5] So, back to the question in the 1st paragraph: What can we (me or anybody else here) do to help some people get started on this effort? Maybe a couple people want to start on a Google Doc of important cases, and some others can generate some just-to-see-how-it goes scripts to try ideas out? Happy to help. Bob [1] I’ve been part of teams that wrote code to fly on the Space Shuttle; although not subject to the full rigorous flight-software sequence[2], there was certainly a very requirements driven process[3] [2] [3] (N.B. this is a couple years more recent than the versions we used) [4[ [5] For examples of the full range, see and -- Bob Jacobsen rgj1927@... |

Re: When reading sheets, incorrect setting values are returned
Robin,
That is a clear sign you need to go to Edit->Preferences->Defaults, and change the selections to LocoNet from Internal. Then save and restart. That should take care of it. Some versions tend to change the Defaults way too easily by itself. The latest code avoids a few of the reasons. But starting a profile without having the hardware connected is one of the simplest ways to have the Defaults change. If you need to work without the layout connected, make a separate profile that uses Simulator connection for your LocoNet. -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team www.jmri.org www.fingerlakeslivesteamers.org www.cnymod.com www.syracusemodelrr.org |

Re: Having a problem loading panel pro
That means that there’s a system name of “1” somewhere in your file. Perhaps it’s near line 20933, but the line counts are not always accurate.
System names should start with a prefix for the specific connection (a letter and optionally some numbers; i.e D or L2) and a type letter (T for Turnout, S for Sensor). So that 1 should be DT1 or L2S1 or something else. Finding it in the file and looking what’s around it will usually make it clear what it should be. You _might_ be able to fix it by: *) Make copies of everything *) Run the jython/TurnOffXmlValidation.py script before loading your panel file (If you’re loading at startup, set the Preferences to run the script first; if you’re manually loading the file via the Panels menu, run the script from the Panels menu first) *) Load your file *) Store the contents out to a new file, with a different name *) Quit, restart, load that new file and check if things are OK, particularly things with a “1” associated The 2nd step will tell JMRI to proceed past the error, and _try_ to make it right. When you write out and test that file, you’ll see whether it was able to fix it or not. If not, post the panel file and we’ll get it fixed.

When reading sheets, incorrect setting values are returned
Robin Kerr
开云体育?
When I call up a known decoder and attempt to read
the setting values on any sheet, the value 123 is returned in all cases, with
the loco address as 15227!
?
If I create a new loco, and then read the
individual sheets, they are read correctly, but as soon as I save the new loco,
and then recall the decoder and attempt to read it, the above
recurrs.
?
I have had no issues with my setup before, but
today this is happening with any number of decoders.
?
My setup is a Digitrax DCS100, Locobuffer II, and a
Powerpax.
?
Any help will be appreciated,

Dispatcher Automatic running not reversing at end of section
Having resolved signalling problems, I have now set up Transits and tried to operate a train automatically.
Both in simulation and real situations, when the train (just a loco at this stage) arrives at the destination block it stops but fails to reverse (although the dispatcher active train status still shows "running"), however, if it is physically pushed back into the preceding Section (or the block occupancy sensor of the last block in the previous Section) is set manually in simulation mode), automatic running in reverse commences back to the starting block.? The train then auto forwards and repeats the outward trip but again stopping at the destination block until pushed to the preceding Section and so on.? I have used the DCC monitor to observe the loco commands which confirm this i.e. At the destination: a speed step 0 forward is issued but nothing else whereas at the starting block a speed step 0 reverse followed by speed step 0 forward followed by a speed step 7? forward is issued. The Transit consists of four sections with direction sensors incorporated into the SML.? The panel has the direction displayed and it shows the sections being reversed. I cannot work out why the train wont auto reverse at the ned of the outward trip - any ideas anyone? Thanks in anticipation. Peter |

Re: Having a problem loading panel pro
It would be useful to know which version of JMRI you are running now, I
suspect you just updated, so also the version you were running. The more recent versions have tighter checking of the panel files. The results are rejecting the load of a file to point to a problem instead of (many times) silently not doing something during the load. If you can post the file on the group site in the 'Problems being worked on' we can see it and better suggest the right fixes. -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team www.jmri.org www.fingerlakeslivesteamers.org www.cnymod.com www.syracusemodelrr.org |

Re: Full timetable automation - AutoDispatcher 2 - abstraction - documentation - scripting
There are, of course, lots of different possible approaches to achieving timetabled operation: some of them more flexible (and requiring more coding work to set them up) and some of them more limited (requiring less coding work to set them up). I believe that I have defined earlier in the thread what I consider to be an ideal system within the bounds of what can realistically be achieved if those who are inclined to do this sort of work are inclined to spend sufficient time doing so. Whether they are, of course, is another matter entirely, and no criticism is intended if they are not: this is, as Bob pointed out, a hobby for all concerned.
There is much to be said, however, for the view that, if one is proposing to spend a considerable effort coding a new feature, it is optimum to assess the requirements for that feature carefully before one starts and plan how those requirements can best be implemented, as doing so can make the overall amount of time spent fulfilling those requirements in the long term rather less than if one implements a system that fulfils some but not all requirements, but which cannot easily be expanded to fulfil other, closely related requirements. |

when opening from the roster it does not appear? Also he had a
12volt supply for the sprog and has ordered a more powerful P.S.?
