Frank,

Do you mean the Operations data or the loco (decoder) roster data? Makes a
difference in which files/directories you need and which have tools to make
the export/import simpler.

Hello. For several months I have been programming my locomotives on my friends computer. I just got a new computer and have loaded JMRI on it. I can easily reach the new (but with blank data) DecoderPro screen on this new computer.?
QUESTION. How do I move the decoder data from my friends computer to this new one? ?Do I copy all the files in the operations folder and use them as a replacement for the operations files I just downloaded from JMRI??

I easily find a folder for operations but cannot find one titled DecoderPro. What folder would this data be in??
THANK YOU. Frank in Katy.?

Mike H,

You said " images are all contained in the Roster directory with the
roster.xml file", that would not be right. The roster.xml file is one layer
up from the roster directory. I presume you typed wrong, but if not, this is
a sign of possible problems. It is suggested that when sharing a roster
directory between multiple profiles it is better that directory is not
within a profile. This is more a safety in case you move or remove a profile
later.

Thanks, but I went through all of that. The roster images are all contained in the Roster directory with the roster.xml file. ?I went through all of my 4 profiles to make sure that in Settings they were all pointing to the correct User File location and Roster location. I have Resource directories in each Profile directory, but they’re all empty.?
I have no idea what’s going on, but since I appear to be the only one having this problem I’m guessing it’s something in my system. I do a backup before doing an upgrade. During the upgrade process is the roster.xml file recreated, and could that somehow be breaking the link to the images?

Are you using a Digitrax PR3 or PR4 to do the programming? If so, see





where it talks about how those use CV128

Thanks for the advice on how to wire switches folks though completely irrelevant to OP, he is using servo position events for Turnout feedback, no switches involved.

MERG CBUS servo modules can send an event when the servo

• Starts its move - To make Turnout inconsistent
• Midway position - Can be used to trigger switching frog power
• End point reached - Turnout closed / thrown

An issue with JMRI Layout Editor logic which deals with supporting Turnout feedback ( for any hardware type ) has been confirmed with a fix uploaded.

No more posts about switches required thanks,

Steve.

Concur with Thomas on the QSI opinion.?? I remove QSI decoders when I encounter one.?? I do DCC installs for others and I won't touch them.? Too problematic, time consuming, and fickle.??? I had one loco that came back to me 3 times, with the complaint that it wouldn't respond to commands on the individuals NCE layout, but when I placed it on my Digitrax layout ran like a champ.

Yes Dave, that is exactly how I have always wired the feedback for points and when I get to wiring for JMRI will continue to do so.

In our club, QSI was notorious for this. Even with DC off, still happened.
Someone puts a steam Lok on the layout (Beep, Beep, shorts) and any QSI decoder is scrambled.
Sometimes a reset did not bring that decoder back to life.
I Picked up sis QSI equipped Loks from an estate. They all have a new decoder.

Surprised this happened to a Tsunami. Never had that happen to Tsunami at the club.

Jerry,

It is not possible to set Unknown directly, but you can indirectly using a script action:


IX:AUTO:0001C1 C1
[x] R1 IF Sensor "DOIT" state is "Sensor Active"
THEN
On Change To True, Execute Jython Command Jython Command sensors.getSensor('XYZ').setKnownState(UNKNOWN).


Dave Sand

A month ago I posted and got no response. ?Do any of the Logix experts or developers out there have any thoughts on my post:

My first try at LOGIX...I'm trying to set up a LOGIX to check a sensor for being Inactive for x seconds and then set it to Unknown.? I see how to check the sensor, but I don't see how to set it to Unknown (only see how to set to Active or Inactive).? Also, I see Delayed Set but that isn't what I want:? I want to check how long it has been in a certain state already and then set it to another state.? Can I do this?? Similarly, if the sensor is in the Inconsistent state for y seconds, I want to set it to Unknown.

I know how to do this with a script.? Trying to see if I can do it more easily (or at all) with LOGIX.


Thanks, Jerry

Running Windows 10 on both machines, data is shared on OneDrive. One thing I’ve noticed is that there are Roster.xml files in my older profiles (without the .jmri extension) and one of these (called no decoder) is usually what I open first to check the update. Might it be picking up this roster instead of where the real roster is? I’ve looked at the various Profile Configuration documents but I can’t tell if these roster files are supposed to be there or not.

- When JMRI opens, it looks for a "roster.xml" file in the "Roster Location" (refer Help->Locations). This purportedly contains an index of all ".xml" files in the "roster" folder at "Roster Location" and any attached image files.

- The "Roster Location" is usually the same as "User Files Location" and can be specific to every profile/machine or shared or any combination thereof.

- In earlier versions of JMRI, roster image files were stored in the "resources" folder in "User Files Location". Roster entries created by current JMRI versions copy the image files into the "roster" folder.

- Rebuild Roster Index writes a new "roster.xml" for the associated "roster" folder.

- If you've changed the "User Files Location"/"Roster Location" for all profiles/computers to OneDrive/Dropbox (as I have) there should be only one "roster.xml" file and "roster" folder being used by all your profiles. (There may be empty/unused copies in "Profile Location" from before you switched.)

- The presence or absence of a ".jmri" extension on a profile doesn't matter. For consistency's sake I added ".jmri" to all my old profile folder names, but there's no need to.

- The icon/image behaviour you are seeing may be because you have all/some images in a non-shared "resources" folder on some profiles/machines. This can be cured by making sure all profiles/machines are using a shared "User Files Location" (usually the same as "Roster Location") and putting the "resources" folder there (i.e. at the same level as the "roster" folder and "roster.xml".

Hi Peter/Bob

Many thanks.

I have produced a worked example panel showing the problem and created an

OK, this is strange.? I know stuff happens.? I put my engine(Walthers Proto GP-60) on an isolated programming track and started DP.? I went in and read CV 29 and lo and behold it was 2.. It was supposed to be 34.? So I changed it and the engine responded properly to its 4-digit address with both WiThrottle Lites and Digitrax DT-500 throttle.? Is possible that CV 29 spontaneously changed?? Yesterday I was running engine with WiThrottle Lite and the DT-500 when it quit responding to 4-digit address.? Is it possible the decoder(factory installed tsunami) is failng??
Thanks for any responses.

Most of these responses are doing nothing to help the OPs problem. Please try and stick to the topic.


Nigel,

As Bob J. has suggested, create an issue in github and upload your panel for a developer to review.
