Re: Resolution of Control Panel Screens
My wild guess is that as you made things smaller, the 'active' area to click on got smaller, and I seem to recall that some of them where small and not exactly where you'd intuitively expect them to be. Somebody that works with CP more will have a more authoritative answe. My suggestion is to make a single toggle on it, at the siame size as on your other panels, and see if? you can find the active area, or if things suddenly work the way you expect, which would imply that active areas are overlapping each other.

Re: Test version 4.19.1 of JMRI/DecoderPro is available for download
Is it possible that you installed the 32-bit version of Java? Or installed it just for one user, instead of for everybody on the machine?
Although I'm not a Windows expert, once Java is installed it usually becomes available as a standard command. |

JMRI 4.18: Problem with adding Action to Section within Transit? (2)
Hi,
Restart/reload JMRI 4.18 with same Shuttle. Update of an existing action in a section does not work either... Groeten! Bart |

This means there are two connection cables. A) The flat ribbon cable between the PCP and the Power Cab handpiece. B) The (usually) coiled cable between the PCP and the NCE USB board. I asked you to answer two simple questions: Question 1: After step 3, which cable (or cables) remain unconnected? The only possible answers are A, B or both. Question 2: At step 9, which cable (or cables) are you reconnecting? The only possible answers are A, B or both. That is the vital clarification we need. Your answers were full of your speculation/explanation and did not clarify the questions above.

JMRI 4.18: Problem with adding Action to Section within Transit?
Hi!
Thanks for the release of JMRI 4.18. I have updated my previous 4.16 to it. Platform: Raspberry PI with Linux / Raspbian. I have a simple shuttle that runs automatically. Based on block uccupied/clear sensors the train moves from head to tail and back.? In the old version on 4.16 one section had an associated action. This existing action in this section is still working, but nothing can be added. I want to add more actions to this section (e.g. on block exit, do something) but the Create New Action does not seem to work. I click the button, but nothing is created.? Taking another section without any action defined, does not get a new action added either. What could be the problem? Groeten! Bart |

Re: Issue with Engine Driver and ESU Mobile Control 2
#enginedriver
Cody: I don't know about the MC2 so maybe there's different Androids out there but my smartphone set to autoupdate currently has Android 8.0.0 installed and runs the Engine Driver app without problems. I'd be thinking about updating your Dad's device rather than backdating it.

Re: Engine Driver panel turnout operation problem
#enginedriver
Steve T
Thanks for your reply? (My belated reply is due to time zone differences) This is running on a Raspberry Pi3. "upgrades" are done by download to the download directory and extract with overwrite to the pi directory. Turnouts display and operate on screen correctly when using VNC Viewer from my tablet (both on the tablet and the Rpi monitor). No error messages report on the system console. System console web server errors only show when loading Engine Driver and accessing JMRI v17.8 , v18 or v19.1. After re loading JMRI v16, turnout operations from Engine Driver web panel operate and show correctly. I'll now be away from my setup until Sunday (although still with access to groups) Regards Graeme Brooker Australia |

Roy, This is for you.
Now only Step 3 and Step 9 is being challenged by Dave.... I will explain what is happening...... ??? Set up the RPi4 ??? The jumpers on the NCE USB interface must be on 2, 3 and 4 or 3 and 4 this supports the Power Cab and its two sub types. 7.3.3 or 7.3.7 and 19200 baud.?? ??? Connect the USB port on the RPi4 to the NCE USB interface with a USB AB cable. (Leave the Power Cab unconnected)? ??? Start JMRI Panel Pro. (It will try to configure itself and you will have to change some settings.) ??? Go into Preference:Default and make sure that all the the radio buttons are set got NCE. ??? Go into connections and set the baud rate to 19200 (click the advance check box) ??? Make sure the the ttyUSB0 is selected along with the Power Cab option. ??? save and restart. (make sure that it open NCE, sometimes it defaults to Digitrax) ??? When the Panel Pro windows comes up within a second or two connect the Power Cab to the NCE USB interface (coiled wire.) ??? The ttyUSB0 connection will flash red but go back to black. ??? Open NCE:Show Cab and refresh. You will see it connect to the NCE interface first. The it will find the Power Cab. Step 3 states Connect the USB port on the RPi4 to the NCE USB interface with a USB AB cable. (Leave the Power Cab unconnected) When you make this connection the USB port to the Raspberry Pi 4's allows its processor to create TTYUSB0 .......This allows Panel Pro to access it on it's boot up.? The Raspberry Pi is not as efficient in handling USB port configuration as Windows. This step just insures that ttyUSB0 becomes a selection in Panel Pro connection window. Leaving the Power Cab coil unconnected to the NCE USB Interface prevents it from energizing and initiating its boot cycle. This seems to be a problem as the Power Cab will be isolated because the NCE Interface LED's have gone RED. Step 9 When the Panel Pro windows comes up within a second or two connect the Power Cab to the NCE USB interface (coiled wire.) Moot argument coil is a RJ connection When you make this connect it applies power to the micro processor side of the NCE USB interface (Module side). This triggers the initialization between the Power Cab and NCE USB Interface. They establish their connection. When you make this connection in time Panel Pro sends out the AA and the Power Cab can send the response. This transaction can be seen with the RED text Blink. If you do not time this connection right the NCE USB Interface will initiate the RED LED and you will have to start over. Some may see me as argumentative and that's true. My arguments are based on experience and facts that I have seen myself. In this case I had a vested interest as I needed to use the RPi4 for an up coming build.? I mocked up the RPi4 test case and did everything like Roy would have done and it failed. I verified that there was a problem as I recreated it consistently. I posted my findings and you can see for yourself what happen and where we are now. I fight and argue so people can just run their trains with minimal frustration. Inobu |

Automation Challenges
#routes

John Greene
Thank you in advance for being patient with this post.? A Newbie to JMRI however have been reading all that I can over the past three months online and this post is my last resort.
Some context for you.? I have a small layout, LGB trains, two switches and pretty much a large concentric circle with a crossover.? NCE system, with (9) BD20 block detectors into an NCE AIU-01.? All Block detectors register in Panel Editor with active or inactive colors as the train traverses the layout. I have an Occupancy Block Table completed and a Portal Table in place.? All switches operate with a mouse click and the throttle moves the train. I believe I have everything working and my challenge is writing the correct information in the right fields to dispatch a train automatically.? This is after many days recently trying to do it.? I cannot seem to write a warrant to allow me to move one train from the outer train station to the inner one. I offer this link as the best Youtube video that comes close to what I am trying to do, it is the North Haverbrook automation demo? ??? ?My goal is to run two trains around the layout of 50 linear feet of track to travel to each station dependent upon the occupancy block detection feedback.? A simple step by step process or link to this process will work just fine as I have not found the wheel I am trying to reinvent? :) Any help is greatly appreciated as I have come a long way with wiring and establishing blocks/sensors and refuse to quit as a result of not understanding how to configure a passenger train to go from point A to B without building a train or assigning an engine or noting if the train is loaded or unloaded.? This layout sits under the Christmas tree.? I want two trains (4-5 cars per train) to travel between stations A & B which are 25 feet from each other, automatically routing as they move through two switches to get to one Station or the other.? Once I have this in place I will let the trains run for days on automatic.? Thank you all for any insight as I have spent many hours searching this User Group messages with no luck for one close to my challenge Kind regards, John Greene Conroe Texas |

Files not linking
#operationspro
I ran a session and terminated all the trains.? I shut the system down and then called up the system back up to make a change in a location file in the yard. Only of the 6 tracks in the yard showed up in the location. However, the cars still show up on the missing yard tracks in the car file with cars on those tracks.? How can I relink the locations of the cars in the car file to the tracks under location in the yard? ?
I am using Windows 10 and used JRMI version 4.17.3? and then upgraded to 4.18 to see if that would solve the problem.? Any suggestions on how to relink the files would be appreciated.? The computer was also checked for viruses and malware and that is not an issue. Thank you Bob in Houston. |

Ken,
On 2 Jan 2020, at 11:09 AM, Ken Cameron <kcameron@...> wrote:The entire USB part of the NCE USB is entirely powered by the 5V from the computer as soon as the USB cable is plugged in. This triggers loading of the device driver and appearance of the COM port. There is no requirement for the 12V from the cab bus to be present. There is an optical barrier between the 5V and 12V parts and since the connection is two "wire" TX/RX only no provision for hardware handshaking or status information to be passed. Inobu's "workaround" is manipulating the timing of the startup of the microprocessor on the 12V side and hence what (if any) of the data the computer may pass to the link is seen by the microprocessor. Under normal circumstances the only traffic JMRI sends at this stage is one or more AA bytes. It doesn't attempt to send anything else until it sees the three byte 07 0n 0n response. But see below. This is my concern. Inobu says "4. Start JMRI Panel Pro. (It will try to configure itself and you will have to change some settings.)". That rings alarm bells for me. If this "configure itself" sends anything other than an AA (at the baud rate matching the microprocessor jumper settings), the microprocessor could become confused and wait for further command bytes, reply inappropriately or send something on to the Power Cab, possibly leading to a "lockup" of communications. What Inobu is doing is probably effectively silencing the microprocessor during this "configure itself". But unfortunately Inobu's description of what he does is ambiguous. At step 3 he says "(Leave the Power Cab unconnected)" then at step 9 he says "within a second or two connect the Power Cab to the NCE USB interface (coiled wire.)". The problem is that we have three items to connect (NCE USB, PCP and Power Cab) via two cables. At step 3 he implies the missing connection is between Power Cab and PCP but at step 9 he implies the missing connection is between NCE USB and PCP. The difference is vital because if: A) The missing connection is between PCP and Power Cab, the NCE USB microprocessor will completely configure itself at step 3 in the absence of the Power Cab. (It will be ready to act on any command sent from the computer via the USB.) B) The missing connection is between PCP and the NCE USB, the microprocessor will not configure itself until step 9. (Until it has configured itself, it will ignore any prior command sent from the computer via the USB.There is no handshaking and no buffering of commands between the computer.) Hence there are two very different behaviour paths and we need to know which is being followed. Unfortunately we don't have the option of a full raw dump of the bytes in the code at present. However, the System Console may have vital clues and we need to see that. The NCE Command Monitor can be set up to open at startup, but it doesn't start logging at the very beginning, only after it is open. Also it is set up as an interpreted log and only parses valid complete commands, ignoring flushed receive buffer contents after a timeout. Dave in Australia |

I've been doing this a bit differently ever since I started using JMRI.? I turn on my laptop, plug in the USB devices (already powered up), start JMRI, load my panel and run the InitLayout script, open the Digitrax monitor, then I power up the command station.? In my case that's a Digitrax DCS100.? I have three connections to the layout.? First is to the Digitrax via a PR3.? Second is a C/MRI system using the cpNode.? Third is to a SPROG for programming decoders.? This has worked for me since at least 2.14 up to now with 4.18.? Hope this helps.

Re: Changing Car Type

Hi Jerry, You might look into creating two spur types for the same track.? You can then set one spur to accept the regular loads and the other for the specialty load.? Use track pooling to make sure the program doesn't try and force two cars into the spur at the same time.? Here's the link for track pools: Hope this helps.
