Re: NEW USER
Marc,
My roster disappearing issue has not come back since updating to a jenkins build after was committed. Because this issue seemed to come and go I have not closed my issue #8144 yet and was waiting until after the next test release which should be coming out any day. -- Peter Ulvestad JMRI Users Group Moderator - ( ) Tam Valley Group Moderator - ( ) Sprog-DCC Group Moderator - ( ) Edmonton Model Railroad Association - |

Re: How to get decoder pro to work on an imac running OS catalina, a Locobuffer-USB and a digitrax DCS51 command station
#mac-os
#digitrax
#locobuffer-usb
I have not upgraded to 10.15.4 yet, so what follows is based on 10.15.3. The previous Apple supplied extension is no longer in /System/Library/Extensions. ?It is now part of DriverKit and is located at /System/Library/DriverExtensions/DriverKit.AppleUSBFTDI.dext. ?The Info.plist file does NOT have a product id entry for the LocoBuffer-USB. Using the link provided by DaveH, I installed the 2.4.2 version. ?After the install, plugging in the LocoBuffer-USB resulted in no changes. ?I then used the About This Mac >> System Report. ?After selecting Software >> Extensions, I scrolled to the FTDI entry. ?The "Notarized" status was "Unknown" and the detail section indicated there was a signing error. I then deleted the install using terminal. cd /Library/Extensions sudo rm -r FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext? Rather than using the FTDI website, I downloaded the LocoBuffer-USB drivers from RR-CirKits: ? After extracting the DMG file from the download, I opened it and ran the package installer. ?Part way through the install a prompt occurs to set security settings. After opening the security window, click on the lock, provide the credentials and the click on Allow. ?After the install completes, it should now be possible to use Dave's one line terminal command to see the?cu.usbserial-FTXZHHQF line come and go as the LocoBuffer-USB is plugged in and out. A review of the system report confirms a good install.

Re: Displaying the "Alternative Track Colour" when using Logix (or Lroute or anything else that works)
#layouteditor
#logix
Dave,
Thank you so much for your kind, detailed and rapid help.? I have been playing with an NCE AIU and BD20s this afternoon - testing them before trying to fit them under my layout. I understand all of your reply (well so far!). Its not that I was worried about multiple "reserve" calls, but that a route would be invalid and setting must be aborted (vetoed) if any of the Blocks it requires is either Occupied (Block occupancy sensor active) OR in Reserved status (alternate colour displayed - and of course already in another route).? I get your point about keeping Sensor setting out of the ManageBlocks Script.? I shall define 2 sensors for each Block: e.g for "Platform 1a", OP1a (activated by an occupancy sensor) and RP1a? (reserved via ManageBlocks) which will enable me to test if occupied or if reserved in a Logix conditional. The Logix action(s) which calls ManageBlocks will also set the appropriate "R" sensors.? I have yet to think through the route clearing process to ensure that when a Block becomes inactive again it reverts to normal (released) status and not reserved.? This may be something to attach to a changed "O" Sensor state (going to inactive) setting its twin "R" Sensor inactive and invoking ManageBlocks to release to ensure the "normal" line colour appears on the diagram. I am sorry - you DID tell me how to set up an RTXINITIALIZER before - it was hidden in an email exchange.? Likewise you had taught me "Notice that the script is part of the user files location. ?This way it is protected from JMRI installs." before too - but I would have forgotten (again!). Pointing me at LRoute again made me think I should re-read that documentation as a way forward to generate the Logix. Thanks again.? Got me started ................ Iain |

Re: NEW USER
Second computer I am also usiing is running JMRi 4.19.5 , JAVA 1.8.0_241? and I added a Loconet Simulator connection in Preferences and then when I changed to another Profile, the (existing) roster had vanished on me (again).?? I simply restart the SAME Profile? and the ROSTER returns BUT? the layout/format/columns width/setup? has gone back to defaults.
This is the same issue I reported in FEB? ( /g/jmriusers/message/169109 )? and? led to GITHUB #8144.? So it does not seem to have been resolved and in 4.18 seems to be worse as this morning I tried restarting JMRI 4.18 running on other computer and kepped getting a blank Roster. ? For some unknown reason it resolved itself.? This JRMI Install is not using alternate Profiles, just the single default profile (My_JMRI_Railroad) All I did to this 4.18 install yesterday was delete the JMRI User folder and create a new (None) profile with all default values and then added a single Roster entry.? Today the " ROSTER vanishing "? appeared, thow the ROSTER folder existed and the ROSTER.xml was present and in proper location.?? Going thru PREFERENCES, ROSTER and? doing a SET to the proper xml file did? NOT correct the issue. For the remainder of day the issue did not appear under 4.18.. until now...? Start DP =? No roster after no changes made. Marc |

Iain, Define the memory variable with whatever system name you want and use the r???? names as the user names. ?I use IM900, etc., for the system names. Setting UseExtraColor to it's current state has no impact on anything. ?I handle block locking outside of the ManageBlocks process. ? A typical allocation action: ??????????????

On Change To True, Set Memory, "rAction". to reserve.?? ?????????????? On Change To True, Set Memory, "Message".?? You could update a sensor within the script but you have to have a method to correlate a block name with a locking sensor name. ?It is easier to let the Logix handle it. To initialize Logix, create a LRoute with the "Initializer" type selected. ?To simplify things, select one sensor from Output Actions and return to the Basics tab and select Create. ?This will create a RTXINITIALIZER Logix. ?As of 4.19.5, the name changes to IX:RTXINITIALIZER. ? This is the first Logix that runs after panel loading is complete. Once the Logix is created, you can edit the RTXINITIALIZER Logix to perform whatever startup processing you need. ?Here is mine: ?

Re: NEW USER
Hi Marc and Peter
I've seen this same error (no roster shown, even if the roster.xml file is there in the directory) sometime when switching from my simulator config (DCC being None) to my ECoS config, both using the same folder for my roster (2 roster groups, one being the full fleet, the other one being a substract of the 1st one).? The problem happened only when using the ECoS config after a session with Simulation, not while staying with the same config, nor using Simulation after a previous session with ECoS. The bypass I found is similar to yours: I took the 2 following actions from the menu: 1) Rebuild Roster, result being no roster entries shown, but the 2 roster groups being there, 2) Update decoder definitions, result being OK, every entry was there OK, no need to restart JMRI I tried yesterday to recreate it wo success. I'm wondering if it didn't happened each time (each month) I updated JMRI. Alain355 in Paris -- Alain355 |

Re: Classification yards

Statement in manual specifically says ?“the same route”. Are you saying that the program will allow train 2 to pickup the car dropped off by train 1 because the train name is different? For the program to not pickup a car it must somehow mark the car to be not picked up by the train that left it. Is there a way to check which cars in my classification yard are so restricted as i do use the same train name with the same route name over and over.?

I believe you (or JMRI) are pulling the engine database from the ECOS? which are the messages seen in the log (three times). there is a reported bug in JMRI that causes the ROSTER to not show up. I am seeing this today in my JMRI Install? of 4.18.? I restart JMRI DecoderPro several times with no Roster presented (thow one exists). There are no messages regarding the error condition in the System Console. To fix this today I had to go to ACTIONS, Recreate Roster Index.?? Try this on your install. Marc |

Re: NX Routes? LRoutes? other?
#entryexit
I use the hooks in Logix now to generate a signal request based on extant NX routes.?
Question: when an NX pair activated by a conditional, is that a "hard" activation (route comes in come hell or high water) - or is it the same as the user selecting Entry-Exit, subject to the same checks before activating the route? My guess is it would be the latter scenario. I will look at the python script. A dozen years back I programmed a whole interlocking in python starting with the "siglet.py" as an example.

Re: Auto running/dispatcher
Iain,

Automatic trains with signal heads/SSL require direction sensors the the SSL. When a train is created, the direction sensors will be automatically added to the SSL if necessary. In your sample panel, a mixture of forward and reverse sensors are being added. When the train is created, only the forward sensors are set to Inactive which means the signal heads still show red. I don't know the reason for the sensor issue. It could be a bug or your sample panel is too simple. You might try doing a simple 3 section without a turnout. Or add a second turnout so that you end up with a siding and another set of signal heads. Or use signal masts and signal mast logic instead of signal heads with SSL. This removes the direction sensor requirement. Dave Sand ----- Original message -----
