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...

This sounds suspicously like wifi network problems. Maybee dropouts or weak signals.?

Tested with 4.16+R9f9aced current production release and issue is not present, worked instantly

Hey guys,

I just noticed a random bug, I've had my layout working well for some time and started to do some experimentation with new transits and dispatcher.

I went to fix an error i made a while ago that never affected me. The error was i had a sections stopping sensor set as the direction sensor.
I never noticed as i hadnt used this section in automation yet.

I want to refctify the mistake (set directon sensor to nothing, set forward stopping sensor to LS6) and press update.. the button clicks, but it does nothing.

I close it, re-open it and the direction sensor has gone to nothing, the stop sensor is still nothing, and the table of entry points as disapeared. The one block in the sesion (14) is still in the top table.
I have to clear blocks and then re-add the block 14 for the table of entry points, and travel directions auto-set themselves.

I update this, without touching any sensor info, and it saves it and closes the window and i acan open and close/update this window multiple times with no issues.. but as soon as I set a stopping sensor (to any sensor i found) it clears the table of entry points and all sensor information.

I'm going to backdate JMRI and see if this happens on the current stalbe release (I run off the lastest Jenkins updates due to the latest amaizng work on Dispatcher in the recent months)

I havfe deffinitley done this task without this issue probably hunfreds of times and the end of last year, hence why I feel it's a new bug.

I will post an update when I have tested on stable release.

Thanks guys!
Mitch

Sorry, in my first reply I forgot to mention that I stopped the “Malware” firewall during this attempt to run trains.?

Frank in Houston.?

Good morning. Sorry about that.
I am using a IMac computer and last night was finally able to connect to my railroad and run a train for a short distance. Now I loose connection after a few seconds then reconnect for a few seconds and then loose connection again and this continues. ?It is just like two throttles have the same address but I have NO OTHER throttles on the railroad.?

Any my suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you. Frank in Houston.?

The next obvious question is: On what hardware is the original poster wishing to update firmware?

As Marc points out, some Digitrax LocoNet-connected hardware (and some non-Digitrax hardware, too) can be updated using the "Download Firmware" feature under what typically shows up as the "LocoNet" Menu.

Note that some recent Digitrax hardware is _not_ updatable using JMRI because that hardware _requires_ a different procedure than is supported by JMRI. If JMRI is asked to read such a firmware update file, it will check the procedure required by the firmware file, and will report to the user if the required procedure is not available.

As Marc points out, some Digitrax mobile decoders allow downloading of "sound project" information, and JMRI is able to update the Digitrax sound decoder in much the same way as the Digitrax "SoundLoader" program.

So far as I can tell, the "sound project" includes information on "sound snippets and how the decoder uses them", but does not include anything along the lines of the "code which defines how the decoder behaves". So far as I know, Digitrax has not released any decoders which allow updating of that basic mobile decoder functionality. Of course, there is nothing saying that Digitrax will not release such a decoder in the future, though.

Billybob
