Yes, I did a huge one a few years ago and it spanned across 2 27" monitor. It was hard to manage so I ended up breaking it down into separate areas. You want to divide the windows up
so you can have more than one dispatcher managing a big layout in different locations.

It was better to manage individual windows verses one painted across the one screen.?

Thanks Inobu.? I changed the PrivateMounts from 'yes' to 'no' and it didn't work.? I'm going to try to install an earlier OS than Buster and install JMRI manually to see if it works.? Will report back on progress/status.

Frank,

I have a JMRI panel that spreads across 2 monitors, and have seen panels on 3 wide monitors. As long as you have setup your monitors to extend from one to the next as one wide window, then it should work fine. Note that when you are first getting them setup in the correct order and size there is a tendency for the JMRI window to pop onto a single screen. Just drag it back to what it should be and then save it again. (Save Panels)

This is basically a Windows issue. Once you have created a super wide window that allows the mouse cursor to move from one to the next, then your JMRI panel doesn't know that it isn't just a single super wide monitor. If there is a limit to the total number of pixels allowed for a JMRI panel size, I have not yet seen it.

Hello,

I'm not exactly sure how to ask the question, so here is basically what I want to do:

I'd like to create a dispatcher panel in Panel Editor and have it flow across two monitors.? Questions:
1. How would I do this?
2. Once a panel is created, does it automatically flow across any number of monitors when connected?
3. Anything else I should be asking or be aware of?

I'm using a Dell Inspiron 15 laptop & two 22" Dell monitors.
I'm using the recently updated version of JMRI

Thanks in advance,
Frank

Hello,

Anyone know if Bachmann SV Locomotives are not able to be assigned 4 digit addressing? I'm trying to address one to 5050. When I do, It has sound of the main engine, but won't move or do any functions. Set it back to 3 and it works great.

You could always try Blast Mode for programming a sound decoder:

Be aware that you will be using Ops Mode, so no other locomotive can be on the track during this process.? Or use an isolated section.

Raspberry Pi 3B+ , Raspbian flavour Buster, Java v 11.05 , system current ( no outstanding upgrades or removals required). I can not get the upgrade to take either 4.17 nor 4.18 using xarchiver 0.5.4.14

SoundValue decoders are based on the first gen? Tsunami decoders and all Digitrax systems had problems programing them.
The addition of a Soundtraxx PTB-100 was suggested.

One work around with the Zephyr was to use it in BLAST mode. This was not documented in the DCS50 but is documented in?
the DCS51 manual and applies to both DCS50 and DCS51: OPSW 07=blast mode.

The layout must be disconnected while in BLAST mode as programming is sent out on all track ouputs: prog and main.
The safer option is the PTB-100

Possible your version of JMRi is a bit dated. I look at the definition files in JMRI 4.18 and Uhlenbrock 76200 Multi-protocol? should be found cv7 = 9 (lowVersion)? thru 40 (highVersion)? so it should
show this as a selection if CV7 = 37.

?

Most likely, they said or meant a 1K ohm resistor.? That's the standard recommendation.

I'm not sure if this will help. Because my experience is with GP7. Sound Value.
I use a Digitrax DCS50. When trying to program a Bachmann, I couldn't. So I contacted Digitrax and they said "add a 1 ohm resistor across the wires to the programming track". I did and that solved that problem. That was the only way I could get the engine from 03 to the loco number. I've heard an alternative is for a 12v light bulb/auto 1156? across those wires. So, it might be as simple as this was for me.

CV8 = manufacturer.? So it is either 85 or 37? ?

CV7 could be = 37? and DecoderPro should offer the viable selections.

CV8 = 37 is some obscure manufacturer by the name of NAC Services Inc.

Bachmann S4? are Soundtraxx Soundvalue equiped. Sound comes up when power is applied to track.

You do not state what DCC Command Station involved. Your issue might be related to CV29 not being setup.

How are you going about the address change ?

Marc

I am calling dispatcher from a jython script. The train starts and rtraverses the route, however I cannot get the train to slow down and stop.

I am using a speed profile and the train slows down and stops when called using the normal dispatcher.

I am calling the routine using

DF = jmri.InstanceManager.getDefault(jmri.jmrit.dispatcher.DispatcherFrame)

DF.loadTrainFromTrainInfo('T2_1.xml','ROSTER','diesel')

Where T2-1.xml is a normal xml file produced from dispatcher.

I presume that the stop command is called from an event when the train leaves the penultimate block, and I suspect I have not set a variable in the train info file which is normally set when calling the routine from dispatcher.

If i could be given a pointeras? to what extra variable(s)/routine(s) need to be called I would be grateful. I have downloaded the source and have tried to find the information, and experimented but failed dismally.

Thanks

As it's a USB connection you should never cycle the SPROG power without also restarting JMRI. The timeouts indicate that is taking a while for JMRI to receive replies. I've only seen this on slower systems such as Raspberry Pis. I don't think they are the problem.

Can you control turnouts if you set the SPROG to programmer mode?

Are you using the correct system name for the turnouts?
