Go to your preferences and check your defaults tab, most likely have changed to internal. Change back to NCE.
The update JMRI to 4.14 when it is released, hopefully in the next day or two.

I need help with accessing the programming track, which previously worked perfectly, but no longer.? For some reason the program will no longer correctly read values for the CVs when the loco is on the programming track.? It now reads 123 as the value for each and every CV.? Yet my NCE controller does correctly read the values.? Maybe I have something set up wrong?

I am open to suggestions.

I tried searching for a related topic, but found nothing.? But then I am not good with key words.

How about a photo in the files section, let us know how to get to it.

John:

Only two cap symbols I'm familiar with are the non polarized -||- and polarized -)|-...

There are other parts with odd symbols but look like ground or earth don't think so what board and for what use?

Does it look like two capitol "T" with the top cross pieces facing each other,
something like this -I I- ?

If so, that is a non-polarized capacitor.

If the symbol is -) I-, the curved side represents the foil on the outside of
the roll of foil, insulator, foil that makes the capacitor, this is generally
connected to "ground or the chassis", whatever represents the common connection
for the circuit.

Hope that does more to help than confuse.

??? Have this board, for the layout, that has a symbol I am not used to for the caps.? Looks like a ground sign.? Can I assume this is (-)?

Well Dan, there is only one train, with 3 locomotives advanced consisted, with 21 cars, all flat running.?

Richard,
I do what Ken suggested. I use the lights to display an icon on my CPE based on turnout position but I have no connection to LED's on my layout. I follow the same process you do except that I use lights instead of a signal. For my CPE icons, I use the colored track pieces in program directory/icons/track/USS as my light display. I treat those lights as track pieces and build my CPE layout with a combo of turnouts and the track(light) pieces. When you build the light icons, you will have the option to command them via several methods. I use the turnout position to select which track (light) piece to display. As a result, I have a layout in CPE which allows me show the "open" path thru all my turnouts so that I have a full visual view of the active paths on my layout.
I did this so I could use an iPad as my walk around control panel in lieu of LED's on my layout. I have no traditional physical control panels.
This is a tedious process but that is because I now have hundreds of active track (lights) pieces on my layout to get the full color effect. However, if you only use a traditional LED image for your lights, it would be much easier to build your panels.

I would look for a short on your layout.? Does the circuit breaker trip when the locos are crossing a switch?? Do your locos have sound?? If so, there's a current surge when charging the sound capacitors, so if one of the locos hits a dead spot and had to power up again that would be a surge.? Also do you have other locos on the layout with sound, they take power even if they aren't moving.

So look for shorts and dead spots, or just leave the setting at 3.5 amps.

Dan

The boosters should read PB105

Thanks

i have read the NCE EB1 manual and it says that the factory setting is 2.5 amps. When I am running a train, 3 locomotives in advance consist, it had a tendency to kick the breaking out. It did it in both power district the train travels on.?

Upon changing the breaker to position A for the 3.5 amp selection, there is no problems. You could say, maybe the consist is drawing more then 2.5 amps, but that would be highly unlikely, unless there was a problem with a locomotives?

But all 6 of my power districts have RRampMeters on them and I can see the demand level being use. The train is only using 1.10 amps, in Speed Step 40. Both power districts it tranverses, read the same Ampere used.?

My system setup consist of:
1- Digitraxx PS2012
2- NCE P515
1- NCE CS02 Command Station
4- NCE P104
1- NCE SB5
1- NCE DB3 for Auxillary Bus (BD20, Light-It etc)
6- RRampMeters

the lower level Mainline that this train uses, crosses across 2 of P105.?

It just seems strange, I had to change the jumper for more ampere, when am only seeing at best 1.2 used on the RRampmetters. The equipment is all being used on a layout that is in progress of being built, with only the 1st level nearing completion of track laying and DCC electrical done.?

Your pondering thoughts are welcomed about this would be appreciated.?

Thanks

Richard,

The issue I think is you picked a signal icon. From your description, I
think a normal lamp would be what you are asking for. Here you would have
the active/inactive as your red/green, then the unknown/inconsistent as the
yellow. Then you don't need any logic to drive it, it follows the turnout
(or feedback sensor) directly.

I guess I need a triple, not a double.?
Any help would be apreciated.

I have done it so:
Created signal headsby adding Double output, green red output.
system name SH504. egample?
green output use existing NT504
red output ? ? ?use existing. ? ? ?NT504
Create?
added to Layout
right click and edit signal head icon
change icon
program directory
icons
mediumschmatics
LEDs
then I dragged the red to Green, the green to Red.
This is where I think it should be possible to put in a yellow light as "inconsistent" or "unknown".
Updated panel
Edit Logic
Diverging leg of turnout
Red when Turnout NT 504 state is Closed.
Apply.

I want the LED's to ideally show what state the turnouts are in when I swithch on the Pi, or show them as yellow.
I hope this is clearer.
Thanks
Richard

Hi. I have reconfigured my Layout and made it as simple as possible. At each DCC controlled point I have placed an LED to show if the point is thrown or closed. The?concern is that?when I switch on the Pi and open up JMRI all the LED's are green, even if a point is thrown. When I did a similar thing in Panel it was a simple matter to have them all?show as yellow until I changed them.
It is hard to explain. Is there any way of attaching the file to aid in explaining? I have it on a usb.
Thanks,
Richard

Dave,
I have just raised an issue to ask if a "DISCONNECT" option can be added to LE/PE to permit a 'Split into two" in a Block/Track Segment to be made a complete Break.
If splitting the track incorrectly is causing these ghost connections then perhaps there is a need to go down this path to try to avoid any errors in the first place?
