Re: Question about moving files from stick to another computer
The XML file is all you need _unless_ you created any custom graphics (i.e. your own icons, or a background for the panel, or similar). If you¡¯ve made any of those, they have to move over too.

Re: WiThrottle crash?
#withrottleserver
Hello @ all
?
someone has news about this problem, which i have too.
?
since the update of Engine Driver (v2.24.93), JMRI (vJMRI.4.18 + R37ad3d0), Android (v7.0) unable to connect. Deadlines exceeded.
Even when deactivating the GSM network.
?
The problem is the same on Linux, W10 and RPi3B +.
?
Thank you |

Re: Operations manifest printing
#operationspro
Gene,
I'm not a computer guru but when I select PRINT in the dialog that comes up I select "Save as pdf" or "Microsoft print to pdf" in the printer or destination drop down list.? You then get a chance to specify where you want? the file created.? If you are printing a lot of manifests like I do, I find it easier to first go to the control panel and make the pdf printer be my default printer.? That saves a lot of keystrokes.?

Transponding script not working in JMRI 4.18
Peter Rushworth
Hi,
I have been running transponding on my layout since about 2009 and have made changes to the scripts I use as JMRI has new releases. I run two scripts, Transponding_Startup and Transponding. ?The first displays on the panel where locos are located at the startup of a run. ?It use MemoryVariables in the 6xxx range to store the loco address. ?The second displays the location of locos that are run during the normal running of the layout. ?It records the location of the locos using MemoryVariables in the 3xxx range. I use the script locostartup.py to run all locos at zero speed for 3 seconds to find the initial location block for each loco. With JMRI 4.18 the Transponding_Startup.py script senses a loco at the correct location, but when the loco moves to another block the initial block location is removed. ?This should not happen as I have #ed out the 'departure' portion of the script. ?Further more if there are two locos in a block when one moves out to another transponding block both entries are disappear. ?If the loco returns to the original block both entries reappear. ?I can also follow this in the MemoryVariables table of JMRI Tools. The files I use are: Transponding_Startup_7_2-2020.py Transponding_7_2_2020 Locostartup.py The first two scripts have been added to Files, see Transponding. Any help or advise would be appreciated.

Error message in system console
Hi I am new to JMRI I posted the other day trying to solve a problem and have realized that I was going in the wrong direction.? I am using a Digitrax system, and have a loop with? 6 block and 3 sections.? My goal is to be able to run two locomotives around the loop without them running in each other. There is 3 errors in the system console that I cannot figure out how to? correct. I have added signals at the end of the sections with no change. The Occupation Block will not allow me to create Portals as it says my blocks do not exist. Any suggestions I spent the morning looking for videos that deal with this topic with no luck, hopefully my signals are set to run clockwise. Phil Ps There are pictures in the photo album |

Question about moving files from stick to another computer
I have completed a new set up "panel, logix, switches, sensors and layout" on a different computer. I want to move the necessary files over to another computer connected to my layout. What specific files do I need to move? Do I just have to move the ".xml" files or are there some files residing in other files that would need to be moved as well? Both systems are Windows 10 and running JMRI 4.19.?

Re: Help with DS64's and JMRI
No reason for LocoNet unless you need to get information back from the layout for some purpose or another.

When working with the turnout control tool, ignore the "115:" part. Use _only_ the "12" part (or whatever OpSw" number you want to change). Yes, since you do not have the DS64s connected to LocoNet, there is no practical way to tell what the OpSw values are. Regards, Billybob -----Original Message-----

Re: Help Setting up JMRI & NCE Power Cab Via USB
This may sound simplistic, but look at the circuit board of the USB circuit board and verify that the connectors have the pins soldered. I actually had to solder mine.
(Been several years ago) Regards, Jeff Oliver |
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýTim, Thanks for reminding me about the buffer structure implications. I now remember why I put it aside last time I looked, because I wasn't up with how tight memory was, etc... After I've had coffee and discussed some NCE issues with a colleague, I'll look at the JMRI code. Dave in Australia On 12 Feb 2020, at 2:46 AM, tnt23 <tim.tashpulatov@...> wrote:

Re: Vanishing Roster
I have noticed what seems to be this same symptom a couple of times as well. A simple restart of JMRI and all is well, the roster "returns". No rebuild roster needed, the roster.xml file is unchanged (it's in DropBox, so I see change history).
I enabled roster debug a while back, but the messages were identical for the failed attempt as for the successful attempt. In both cases, the "readFile sees xx children" and the subsequent "Add entry..." lines are as expected. Tried several more times and could not get the failure to repeat. |
(sorry for polluting the thread)
I couldn't help but opened an issue with JMRI repository, to save a bit of traffic here. Dave, if you will be making a custom build for me, could you please 1) add some logging there to dump the whole 'M' command, and 2) instead of increasing length condition from 5 to 6, just change the 'for' cycle in line 2445 to run until num_bytes-1? Thanks again. Regards Tim |

Re: Undefined problem double x over in Panel Pro editor

For the record, here are changes I made to DCC++ BaseStation code for 6 byte packets.
PacketRegister.h:
PacketRegister.cpp: in?RegisterList::loadPacket starting from Line 70: and in?RegisterList::writeTextPacket, starting from Line 203: Sorry I failed to make myself clear regarding sscanf() behavior, certainly it will report correct number of arguments scanned for 2, 3, 4, and 5 cases. What I meant was that it would report nBytes=6 when there are more arguments passed to it than is noted in its format string, and thus RegisterList::writeTextPacket() won't report this as an error. Regards Tim |
Update, spent a couple of hours late into the night trying everything that was suggested. Nothing seemed to change. Finally decided just to clear everything off and start over this morning. So I deleted the entire program and reinstalled it this morning. I do not know what is different, but the system is working! I have throttle control and I have programmability. thanks for all the help and suggestions, Bruce Mount Airy, Maryland
