I omitted the fact that the Tam Valley accessory booster is used to power a number of DCC Specialties Jack Wabbits? that power the Tortoise machines.? The Tam Valley booster has its own power supply.? The Tam Valley booster is connected to the booster bus and output from the Tam Valley booster is connected to a bus that is connected to all of the Jack Wabbits.

Jay:

What does the CMRInet Protocol have to do with using JMRI with traditional CMRI hardware e.g. SMINI, SUSIC, and other CMRI hardware?? Is that only applical to CPNode and/or LCS?? The subject came up in JMRI Hardware Support - Chubb C/MRI writeup.
Thanks

First, make sure that the JMRI connection is configured to “SPROG Command Station”.

There might also be people on the SPROG list who can help with this: /g/sprog-dcc

I am using the Layout editor to control signals and turnouts through an SPROG II.
Only signal decoders (NCE light-it) and accessory decoders (DCCconcepts AD1-HP) are connected to the DCC signal.
I also use MERG Cbus for occupancy detection.

Initially, after poweron, the system enters a state where accessory commands are not sent when changing a turnout.
The USB led on the SPROG II is then dark, and when changing a signal there is a short flash and the signal decoder changes.
Pushing a turnout on the panel moves the turnout on the screen, but there is no LED flash and the actual turnout does not move.

I have to set power OFF and restart JMRI once to enter a state where the turnouts will work.
In this state the USB led flashes continuously, sending FF 0 FF, and the accessory commands are sent in-between when pushing a turnout icon.
Signals work fine in this state also.

Also, if I leave the DCC power ON and then quit JMRI, it will enter the wrong state on restart.

To me, it doesn’t make any difference to the order that things throw other than the appearance of them falling into place one after another. ?If you are running at trains that close to the turnouts before you throw them, you need to slow things down. ? :-)

Ok Clay, ???. Congrats you did it, lol.

i haven’t done routes in either Digitrax or JMRI so it’s a learning curve. I looking to do them in JMRI that’s why I’m asking here. So far I’ve got the East end of my staging yard hooked up and made my turnout tables. Is the a separate table for routes? Or does it matter the order of turnout entry?

Wayne

System consists of Power House Pro-R, PB5, and a stand-alone Loconet.

To unload the PB5 booster, I installed a Tam Valley accessory booster to power the turnout Tortoise machines. ?Upon power up of the layout including the Tam Valley accessory booster, operation of the layout was normal. ?

The PB5 booster load was reduced as expected. ?I can operate the turnouts via the throttle as well as the local push buttons. ?The changes made to the turnouts via these two methods (throttle and local push buttons) were properly indicated the layout panel.?

As a loco travelled on the layout, the block occupancy was being properly indicated.

However, I can no longer operate the turnouts by clicking on the turnout icons.

What do I need to do to recover turnout operation via the layout turnout icons?

Merry Christmas

I see where you are now.....? This is a good undertaking.....

Hi all

this is what Iv'e ended up at:

# Simple script to setup audio objects

import time
import jmri

from javax.vecmath import Vector3f
fileorder=[5, 4, 1, 3, 7, 6, 0, 0, 0, 0]
filetime = {5: 2.6, 4: 0.5, 1: 0.6, 3: 0.8, 2: 1.4, 6: 1.5, 7:1.5}
for plloop in range(0, len(fileorder)):
??? filechk = fileorder[plloop]
??? if filechk != 0:
??????? # Create the first Audio Source object
??????? filepointer = "IAS" + str(fileorder[plloop])
??????? source1 = audio.provideAudio(filepointer)
?
??????? # Assign Audio Buffer to this Audio Source
??????? filepointer = "IAB" + str(fileorder[plloop])
??????? source1.setAssignedBuffer(filepointer)
???????
??????? # Start playing the first Audio Source
??????? source1.play()
??? print
??????? delay = filetime[fileorder[plloop]]
??? print(delay)
??????? time.sleep(delay)

it requires the manual loading of audio files into the JMRI audio buffers, when the script is then run it reads the file order list which is easily set with software sets up the audio source and buffers and then starts playing the files. the delay between one file and the next is set in the dictionary entry. Again these values have been manually arrived at.

So in theory once all the sound files are loaded in the buffers and timings determined for the dictionary it will work.

comments appreciated as to any methods of loading the files from the sound directory automatically and determining their lengths would be helpful?

Hi all,
There appears to be a script change to the "ReporterFormatter.py" script that I a wondering if it affects the "ReporterOperations.py" script. I have a custom script based on the ReporterOperations one and it is now throwing an error:

I tried copying over the different code in the ReporterFormatter but I still get the same error.

Hi Bob
the idea is that the sound changes for each different type of train, option one is to get the software to do it on the fly so to speak. Option 2 is to have several audio files for each engine train. as there are loads of combinations you can appreciate the storage involved. hence the reason for trying to get software to do it on the fly.

Hi Matt

this is what I have so far.
?Simple script to setup audio objects

import time
import jmri

from javax.vecmath import Vector3f

fileorder = [5, 4, 1, 3, 2, 6, 0, 0, 0, 0]
for plloop in range(0, len(fileorder)):
??? filechk = fileorder[plloop]
??? if filechk != 0:
??????? # Create the first Audio Source object
??????? filepointer = "IAS" + str(fileorder[plloop])
??????? source1 = audio.provideAudio(filepointer)
?
??????? # Assign Audio Buffer to this Audio Source
??????? filepointer = "IAB" + str(fileorder[plloop])
??????? source1.setAssignedBuffer(filepointer)
???????
??????? # Start playing the first Audio Source
??????? source1.play()
??????? #state = source1.getState()
??? #while state == True :
?????????? # print("state")
??????? time.sleep(1.5)

What I now need is a way to find out when i file stops so I can play the next ?

Routes predate Reporters in JMRI, and have always had the type letter 'R', so maybe its Reporters that should have a different letter.

I tried opening the Id Tag table first then the Cars window to no effect. Still no tag id in the drop down. Same error list in the console. The console list is showing errors for valid id tags.

Ok, I will look at this when I get a chance.

Modeling the P&PU since 1953

Wayne,
I can't tell from your post if you use JMRI or not. If you use JMRI, setting up routes is much much easier than if you have to use the Digitrax throttle to do it. The DS64 manual has a copy of a worksheet in it that is helpful is mapping the routes out. The DS64 will allow 8 routes, but there is?something you need to be aware of if you aren't already. Route number 1, also know as the top route, can cause issues if you don't know how it works. The 1st route turnout number becomes the route number of each route. If turnout 50 is the first turnout in the route 1 position?in the DS64, then the route number is?50. This is where a problem can occur.
IF EACH TURNOUT NUMBER IN?THE ROUTE 1 POSITION? OF ALL THE DS64'S IS DIFFERENT, THEN YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. BUT, IF THE TURNOUT NUMBER OF THE TURNOUT IN THE TOP, OR 1ST ROUTE POSITION IS THE SAME ON MORE THAN ONE DS64, THIS WILL CAUSE A PROBLEM.
If turnout 50 is the top or 1st turnout on more than one route, then each time a route is selected that 50 is the top turnout, then EVERY route that has 50 in the top position will try and throw. From my experience one of two things will happen, multiple routes will throw or the Loconet will be flooded with commands.
The simplest way to keep this from happening is to use a DIFFERENT virtual turnout number in the top position of every route. The downside to this is that now you only have 7 routes that you can use rather than 8.
I hope I haven't confused you with this, but it cost me a lot of time before I figured it out.

Production version 4.18 of JMRI/DecoderPro is available for download.

This is a new production release containing changes since last July.

If you are currently using JMRI 4.9.6 or earlier, we strongly recommend that you first update to JMRI 4.12 and make sure that's running OK before updating to this release. There have been a number of changes in serial port support, panel file format and configuration options since those earlier releases, and moving to the stable JMRI 4.12 release is a good way to work through any possible problems.
<>
(In the future, we’ll probably saying that about this one too)

If you use JMRI on Linux or Mac and are updating from JMRI 4.7.3 or earlier, there’s a necessary migration step. (Not needed on Windows) Please see the JMRI 4.12 release note for details: <>

For more information on the issues, new features and bug fixes in 4.18 please see the release note:
