Roger,
Easiest is to keep the file in your 'user' section and reference it there.
No need to do anything else with it,

Re: Determine Digitrax UR92 firmware with JMRI and Locobuffer USB
Ken,
The DigiIPLII software is a windows exe file that runs independent of JMRI. Basically plug your locobuffer-usb into your command station, plug the UR92 into the command station, run the software on your computer and you're off and running. It would be better to read the documentation I gave you the link to so you understand the finer points of the upgrade. Otherwise, it may cause problems.

Thanks for the link. I gather that by selecting the right COM port and baud rate for the Locobuffer I can use the Digitrax S/W to determine rev. levels in the UR-92 without the need of a PR3. Also gather I cannot do this with JMRI.?
Thanks, Jack Varadi

Re: Scripting question - how to check if sensor or turnout name is valid
Michael,
Instead of provideSensor() use getSensor() and check for None
chkSensor = sensors.getSensor(¡®BadName¡¯) If chkSensor is None: ? ? print ¡®it does not exist¡¯
The provideXXX() methods return the item if the name matches a user name or a system name. ?If neither exists, it tries to create a new item using the name as a system name and returns it. ?If the name is not a valid system name or cannot be made to look like one, the name exception occurs.

Is there a way to have the service and ops programmer active in Decoder Pro?
I'm using a SPROG II version 3 with a Windows 10 laptop for programming and the JMRI version 14.7.3 which is the test version I believe. On the programming screen the service mode is green and the ops mode is red. At the club the Windows 10 tablet with the SPROG shows both programming modes in green. I can't recall what the JMRI version is but it is older then mine. The SPROG hardware design is such that it has two possible modes of operation: 1) A power-limited Programmer Mode that does Service Mode and also allows 1 loco to be test-run. 2) A full-power Command Station Mode that allows many locos to run and also Ops Mode programming. The two are selected between at startup time (as configured in Prefernces->Connections) and both can't be active at the same time. Older JMRI versions incorrectly showed both active at the same time. In order to use both modes, you need to create two Config Profiles in JMRI (set up to share the same User Files), one for each mode, and enable the checkbox to show the choice at startup. (Note that this is not the same as defining multiple connections in one single JMRI profile - you can't have two connections to the same device simultaneously, nor the same device running in two different modes simultaneously.) You may need to ask for help on setting up multiple profiles. Dave in Australia

The scripts included with JMRI are "sample scripts" not official scripts. There is nothing wrong with using scripts from elsewhere or you write yourself.

Re: SSL heads fail to set properly after start .... JMRI 4.17.3
Bob,
? ? Found the problem.
? ? Since I had moved from a bootleg script that clears all UNKNOWN states of sensors and turnouts to the official scripts that is when the problem came up.? Seems the the script "SetAllTurnoutsToClosed.py" closes all the turnouts, even the signalheads for the SE8Cs.? ?After changing the 'IF (turnout) is not closed'?to 'IF (turnout) is UNKNOWN' To set the turnout to closed cured the problem.? ?

This should catch the error:

If you don¡¯t care about the exception type, you can use except:

Re: Determine Digitrax UR92 firmware with JMRI and Locobuffer USB
If you use the DigiIPL v2.2 software provided by Digitrax it will tell you the firmware version and the RF version of your UR92 (remember there are two updates you may have to do). Go to the Digitrax website and look under the downloads link. I have provided a detailed explanation of how to do this at?
. This is the Hostlers web site of Ogden Utah. It discusses both the DT402 series and the UR92 firmware and RF upgrades with the LocoBuffer-USB which is what I use.
