Frank:

I run EngineDriver on a pair of ESC MobileControl2 throttles Andriod 4 dot something... I'll try my Andriod tablet it doesn't have some ESU WiFi "helper" software loaded... Might as well eliminate that too.

When I lose WiFi I get a disconnected trying to reconnect message, that's one place in the room and me in between the throttle and router. Not is WiThrottle running... I checked with 4.17.4 and it's (Mac, Mojave and Java 8.212) and all is well...

Do you see the WiFi signal bars changing on the phone? This doesn't feel like signal loss.. But I agree that something odd is happening I can't make it happen... well not tonight... tomorrow I'll try getting as far away as I can and force the signal issue...

Also you say that the throttle id stays in the WiThrottle server window... I'll look at that too... I think it should... but let's see...

More later...

Thanks, Bradley,
That message shows that your phone and your server are not on the same network (*.2 vs *.3). Unless you are doing some sort of intentional bridging or routing to overcome that, you're not going to connect.

Dave,

? ? ?How are you loading JMRI since I've been downloading just the image file?

Roger

No problem, Richard, always glad for any help.

Sam, thanks for the tip about CV217, but my JMRI decoder definitions for Paragon 2 and 3 steam (I have both) as well as Paragon 2 diesel do not list a CV 217 on the CV pane, unless it's some hidden indexed CV or something like that, in which case I don't know how to access that.

Tim

Bradley, what client app are you using? If EngineDriver, what version? Please post the complete error message you get when you try to connect manually.

Hi Dave,

I will check tonight and get back to you (Sydney, Australia time)

Thanks
Mitch

I also tried reading in the single CV programmer, no go, just hung at reading.

Also, no data in the MRC console.

Thanks again.... I do appreciate all the help.

Hello... YES, I am using the Digitrax DCS240 via a Locobuffer-USB and until recently everything was working beautifully.?

My router (for TV and everything) is in the same room as my computer (Apple) on which I have installed JMRI and run Operations.
When I use my android phone, now I can connect but then shortly after it will disconnect. ?When I get disconnected, I get the following response "Check that the WIThrottle is running" but I cannot find anything wrong. ?I check the WIThrottle server and it indicates a connection.

When it connects it identifies my railroad and everything works for a few seconds then it disconnects. ?I have only one throttle connected to the system and it is the android.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ?Frank in Houston....

I just upgraded my Raspberry Pi3 and 3B+ to Buster from stretch. I had to re-do my whole Pi as the VNC wasn't working properly. I would strongly suggest a good backup of JMRI files, photo's and any files created by users. Also make note of any additional software acquired that's not in the original install eg., Julia. There were literally hundreds of files not updated from stretch to buster - in otherwords, a right mess!

Mitch,

Are there any messages in the JMRI console when the unexpected sensor behavior occurs?

Dave Sand

Tim (Dave), I was away from the computer all day yesterday and I see that Dave has answered your question better than I could. Somehow your email vanished from my in box when i was writing my reply. I did want to appear not to respond !! Rick.

Frank,

You still have not even said what DCC system that you are using. It could be something as simple as having two throttles dialed up at the same time.

Dick :)

Are you trying to run both the DR5000 and the Lenz both as command stations on your layout?

Dennis

Frank:

As others are pointing out just how you're connected to your network will make a huge difference.

You didn't move anything just went to 4.14.4...

PC is WiFi itself or wired ethernet? If more than one access point in the WiFi with extenders or repeaters you might have gotten the portable "latched" onto a weaker signal. Unless a Mesh system portable devices can't automatically flip between stations. You can be fooled it the repeater/extender has the same name and password as the main router.

Since the device if locked onto the access point in it's OS it might not be obvious when in WiThrottle or EngineDriver when it says it sees the network.

Our club is going WiFi and with the size and radio resistant basement we needed two Mesh routers for seamless WiFi...
