Don't let it get you down, you are making progress, it's always a learning process. I too have been overwhelmed. I took a six year hiatus due to 'health' reasons, and have found that 'Raspberry Pi and Arduino" is just a big mystery to me. Bought an arduino kit and now understand that you can make just about anything. It would help if users said 'my arduino crossing gates", but I can't even consider this part of the hobby at this time.. Take small steps, walk away for a while, have a beverage or three and try again slowly in the morning. We have all been where you are now, keep your chin up and your mouth closed in case there are birds.

Yes, it is the 8 pins in two rows between SETUP and 1 2 3 4. But don't worry. Simply leave them all bare.

Then JMRI preferences are:
-- System manufacturer: NCE
-- System connection: NCE USB
-- Serial port: COM4
-- USB version: V7.x.x
-- System: PowerCab
-- Additional Connection Settings checkbox ON
--- Baud rate: 9600.

Save and quit JMRI.
Turn off and restart Power Cab
Start JMRI.

The JMRI console log should then report V7.3.0.

I AIU,have theset the AIU's to 8 and 9

Good

WiThrottle is working.

Good

NCE show cabs keeps coming up error.

Don't know why. It works for me with JMRI V4.13.4 and the settings above.

All preference Defaults are NCE

Check them again after making changes.

Tell us if any LEDs are stuck ON on the NCE USB. They should not.

Post a Console Log and Ken can look over it while I try to get some sleep...

Dave

NCE PowerCab with USB, JMRI 4.12, Java 1.8.1, UK equipment mixed Cobalt and Guagemaster Turnout motors, Train Tech signals,

I have a Layout Panel which does what is expected "on the screen" and the correct NCE commands are sent out (i.e. the turnouts and signals change state on the screen and the JMRI NCE Command Monitor reflects the commands I would expect to appear.? However it all happens in a rush.? At times turnout operations get missed out ON THE LAYOUT - i.e the commands are there but somehow they overrun each other or "get lost" in the traffic (I think power draw on the accessory bus is also a factor). Also signals change before turnouts have completed their movements (a no-no in 12" to the foot terms). I had a similar experience when I automated my system using NCE Mini-panels.? In that case (despite arguments from many that it should not be necessary) I programmed delays into the panel logic to ensure time between key changes, and that all turnouts could complete before the command to change a signal was issued.

I have searched JMRI documentation and this forum and can find nothing to help me - probably because I don't know how to put the question to the search engines.

Can anybody help please?

WiThrottle is working.
NCE show cabs keeps coming up error.
Baud rate is 9600
All preference Defaults are NCE

The COM port isn't bad according to the log you posted. You are just missing those jumpers.

I suggest you forget about changing the address of the NCE USB. Take all jumpers off, change baud rate back to 9600 and it should all start working again, WiThrottle, Show Cabs, etc.

If not, check Preferences->Defaults and make sure everything is set to NCE and nothing to Internal.

Then please try changing the AIUs to 8 and 9 using the DIP switches:
- AIU 8 is Switch 4 Off, all others On.
- AIU 9 is Switches 1 and 4 Off, all others On.

Check for changes in Show Cabs.

The * in V7.3.* is the jumpers. You have to put jumpers 2,3,4 onto the pin pairs of the NCE USB.

See my earlier setup instructions.

Now the WiThrottle is working but back to a bad com port on the laptop. All firewalls are off. I need the laptop now only to send information to this group .
I will reconnect to the Raspberry Pi after I send the lates console report.

Hi everyone, I am sorry to trouble you all again but I am really down. No idea what I am doing and seriously regretting going down this path of DCC controlling Ppoints and installing blocks but all the money is invested and it is slowly progressing. I am trying to follow all of your advice and I seriously appreciate how much time you are putting in to helping out a silly bugger you don't even know.

The upgade chip is installed and I changed the baud rate to 19200. Powercab control is working but no WiThrottle.
I see 7.3.0 in the console log.
I don't know where to find the connection preference to change it to 7.3.*?? I assume it must be on the very first Edit/Preferences page.

NCE? information shows the new AIU I connected in series last night and gave the address of 5 to. I understand these addresses should be changed , but first I want to get the wiThrottle working again.

CAB 3 Usb interface
Cab 4? AIU
Cab 5 AIU

Is it possible to test this also in offline mode?

Yes, it is.

See for details.

Here are two short video examples playing sounds in simulator mode:

Thanks Paul. That is very useful.

It looks like you’ve confused two different structures. The AbstractAutomaton class (see the “class” line below) uses methods called “init” and “handle”. The Siglet class uses the methods called defineIO and setOutput. So try changing the class line to

class Three_aspect(jmri.jmrit.automat.Siglet) :

I got the NCE lightits to work by addressing them 1 thru 3 and setting them up in the signalhead table and testing them on the table. I then use the script:

Changing the color and it worked.

I then ran the code in the below and it does not work I am looking for suggestion as to what I am doing wrong. I am wondering if I would be better off defining the turnouts in the turnout table like I did for the signalheads.

If so I just need to monitor the sensors and need to command to do it. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks Gerald. I browsed through this and seems something I can learn from.
Are you aware of something similar for Operations?

Two months ago a? gave a clinic on Decoder Pro. This was a "Hands On" Clinic where those attending were in "paired" with a friend for the clinic. The clinic took 4 hours - 2 in the morning then a break for 1 hour for refreshments then another 2 hours. Each pair had a system set up on the table so they could try things out as the clinic progressed.

For this clinic I put together some notes - with plenty of explanations. Those who attend (20 of them) had either a Sprog or an NCE system, with a laptop - all Windows. As I knew everyone in the clinic, their layouts, and roughly the skills the notes were 'tailored' to suit.

I have put the notes (20 pages) on the web for anyone to download and read. The notes were written in Australian but should translate easy enough to American or English.

May or may not be of help.

I cannot answer all your questions but I was in same boat when I started learning JMRI earlier this year with no one locally to help me. I could read the guide but it left me with a million questions. I eventually found numerous tutorials on line that provided "how to" example. That got me over the hump in my learning curve. Do a google search for JMRI tutorials and several will show up. My biggest problem with almost all I found was that they were built using older versions of JMRI thus the screens did not match very well with the latest versions. However, they still were very valuable.
I have a Digitrax layout thus I use Loconet. When not connected to my layout, I use the "Loconet Simulator" to play with my JMRI files.

Is there a way to attach a screenshot to a post?
I was trying to build a train and it gave this error "Train requires 1 locos, could not pick up at departure(Cassette) or set out at (Cassette)

Thanks for that. Looks like our webmaster removed the page completely since registrations closed last week, but didn't provide an explanatory page or redirect.

He may have told members at club meeting yesterday but I was in hospital undergoing surgery.

I'll remove the link from my signature and chew his ear...

I don't think I'd downloaded the Program either... But I'll be there answering questions all weekend.
