Hi Allen
Things to check. Start DecoderPro. Edit->preferences->Connection->Loconet tab.?? ? ? System Connection: "Loconet PR3" ? ?

Automatic sensors
How do I know what an automatic sensor is used for? I have a lot of automatic sensors that were placed when I had to edit the track on the layout, but I do not know what they are used for or where they are on the layout. I think I read where they cannot be renamed once named, but I have not go the slightest idea of what they are for. Is there a way that I can identify them somehow??
These are virtual sensors I believe. I did not place them or name them. But, can I use them to set up signals or other things on the layout that sensors are used for? Please help! Thanks, George |

I am also going to need the custom components located in the resources folder, and maybe the jython folder. These are located in the same directory as the panel xml file. It works best if you zip the folders and their contents and upload the zip file. Dave Sand On Sep 1, 2018, at 11:41 AM, Benny Tj?der <etxbct@...> wrote: |

Re: Multiple layouts in JMRI
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Dan I have several folders under JMRI that have my layout in them. I am trying to clean up the folders that contain my layouts by getting rid of some of the layouts that are old and not used any more. I have found out that the current layout is being stored in the Systemfiles directory under JMRI. Does that sound right? It seems to me that they would go to a Layout directory or something more logical. Maybe it is where it has to go, I do not know. Could you explain about getting it cleaned up some. When I save, I usually let it go to the default which is the current layout. but when I am looking for it, I have to go through so many directories like backup directories and such. I would rather have one directory, or maybe two total, one for the working layout, and one for a backup in a backup directory. Just trying to clean it up some. Thanks, George |

The "console window" is at Help >> System Console. I looked at your latest debug upload. Bob has already mentioned some of the errors. It appears that you have an internal turnout with the system name of IT. A two character name is not valid. There are a large number of errors while loading Logix Conditionals. If you upload the panel xml file to the ProblemsBeingWorkedOn folder, I can take a look at the IT, SSL and Logix errors. Dave Sand On Sep 1, 2018, at 10:16 AM, pjmattson@... wrote: |

Re: Decoder pro V4.13.2 Lok sound select direct.
Dave, Your a Genius, I think you nailed it in your reply, thank you, thank you, thank you. As I read through your thoughtful and educational reply I can only appreciate you taking the time to sort through our problems in this forum. Your explanations are understandable and very helpful and you have helped countless people. One problem I have is in asking a question is remembering what happened when and how to ask in a way that? folks don't think I am idiot or rocket scientist (no worry in my case). Breaking your answer down now I understand why the function labeling could be a problem. Where I see a problem is when I do an install and populate the function labeling from the Function sheet I print from the website all is good. When I give the job to the customer or bring it to the club and install the loco in the roster the function labels will not be populated, unless one is aware of the need to add them manually. So there is a certain amount of confusion "baked into " the function labeling" and for sure some confusion over the Function pane and how to manipulate it. Reading a Lok Sound decoder fully at the club is almost impossible due too the time it takes (using decoder pro). The solution there may be to add a lok programmer to the clubs set up.

??? Dave your last two paragraphs nailed it. As as I was reading what you said some stray neurons began to fire. That is exactly what is happening. Sometime in the past someone had mentioned about reading data, writing data, then write sound file. A pop up window ask something about applying data to current project. BINGO. Now it all makes sense. That is what I was doing. Prior to that I would just write Sound. Which I will be doing with the next F.T. sound file and I have complete faith this issue will not surface again. I was talking to Abbie yesterday and she said don't read or write the data separately just write the sound file. I think this issue for me has been solved. Thank you. I can't tell how much time I have wasted (learning) trying to figure this out. Rick. On 9/1/2018 2:03 AM, Dave Heap wrote:

I have identified the problem. ? The section containing NT14 was missing the entry point for the stub track. ?I devised a quick fix for that and then several other turnouts had the same problem. ?I deleted the transits and sections and re-built them. ?Once that was done, I was able to virtually run a train around the outer loop. Based on the symptoms, it appears that the stub track blocks were added after the sections had been created. I am not able to provide an updated panel xml file since the following custom items were automatically deleted from the panel:

I have 5 nodes working on this system, but I used the Arduino Nano.? I only have two wire running between nodes for communication (i used doorbell wire from Ace Hardware).? It's been awhile since I set them up, but I remember that I had issues.? Are the TX RX lights rapidly blinking (shows communication with the bus)?? Have you added the nodes in JMRI???

Problem with EntryExit
Hi, I have downloaded the RPi-JMRI image and installed on a new SD card. No problem to get it working. Downloaded my layout made in 4.12. It started up and have connection to my railroad. Raspberry Pi is running JMRI 4.13.2 The problem is if I select a route over two turnouts the turnouts are both thrown but the route shows thru both turnout in closed position, which should be the best route. The route table shows thrown path as active, but closed path as reserved. I attached a picture showing the route table and the layout with the route reserved. Turnout 27 is two right handed turnouts (27a and 27b)? faced each other. Turnout 26 is similar as 27 but two left handed turnouts. The route table is from turnout 27a (block 27a). Block 27as is between signal 31 and turnout 27. Block 27acd is the block after a closed turnout (towards turnout 26 in closed position). Block 27ab is the block in between 27a and 27b turnout. In turnout table both 27a, 27b, 26a and 26b are thrown. The main path thru all these turnouts are set to closed (default). I have seen other strange behavior in EntryExit routing. Sometime it selects a route from one track down and then one track up instead of going the shortest way on same track. /BR Benny |

Re: Using CMRI/RS485 with Arduino Mega
Note that the RS485 uses _three_ pins on the Arduino: Send, receive and transmit control. Without the 3rd one connected and properly acting, you won¡¯t have communications on the line.

Re: DecoderPro
Hi Gordon, The first hurdle you'll have with your old laptop is getting Java 8 (also known as 1.8) to install. JMRI absolutely needs that in its most recent version (4.12 is nice and stable). It can be done (grandsons with nifty little fingers could be a boon here), but you need an offline installer. The 'normal' way of getting Java will claim that your XP computer is too old. It's not (but only just).On Sat, 1 Sep 2018 at 14:52, Gordon Garnhart <garnhart@...> wrote:
