Re: Panels not rendering well on older iPads
#webserver
What is the URL of the page that isn't working? That looks like it is still going to a /panel page, instead of a /frame page, but I can't see the URL in the screenshot.?
I'd also like to see the websocket.org page, as this symptom looks 99.9% like a WebSocket issue. |
Re: Panels not rendering well on older iPads
#webserver
Hello SteveT -
The websocket protocol works on the older iPads (I checked on echo.websocket.org). I also enabled "frames" and this didn't solve the problem. See the attached pictures for a panel that worked and one that doesn't work. I appreciate any other suggestions you or others have. Thanks!

Re: Semaphore signals
#semaphore
Dear Ken et all
?
success! Linking it as a turn out control works. Including the blocks.?
there is a minor bug? if the turn out is set to go and the signal is go then the block is occupied, the signal returns to stop. All good. But if the turn out is then switched to closed the signal then moves to go. So if seems to be responding to alternative commands not to the logic of the layout. As writing this had a thought if in the logic edit. What happens if you select lock to turn out?? |
Re: Panels not rendering well on older iPads

Michael,
The most likely cause is that your pad's browser does not support WebSocket protocol.
There is a test for this on the current JMRI web "About" page.
?
If that's the issue, the workaround is to use the /frame server instead of the /panel server. You need to enable "frames" in JMRI, Edit, Preferences, Web Server.

Eric, You did not answer my question about the initial turnout states after starting PanelPro and loading the xml file. There is another step. ?Before starting PanelPro, start the NCE command station from a power off. ?After the command station is running, turn on track power. ?Now start PanelPro and load the xml file. ?Before doing anything else, what are the turnout table states? Dave Sand ----- Original message ----- From: Dave Sand <ds@...> Subject: Re: [jmriusers] NCE Accessory Event Monitoring and possibly CS-105 Date: Wednesday, January 08, 2025 11:14 PM Eric, How do you know that it queries the physical turnout. ?Do you see a turnout message in the NCE Monitor?

When you do that click on the turnout, either on the Main Panel graphic or the Turnout Table, JMRI first queries the physical turnout. If the physical turnout state is different than the digital twin in JMRI, JMRI updates the digital twin's state in Panel Pro to reflect reality.

I wanted to know if that functionality is, or could be, exposed somewhere as a function that could be called by a program.? If so, one could periodically run a polling program and update the panel for anything that got changes locally. Since most turnouts are not being actually changed, the power / bandwidth used should be minimal. |

I should add that the newer iPads work just fine.

Panels not rendering well on older iPads
#webserver
Hello -
I recently upgraded JMRI to 5.10 running Java 11.0.11. I've been using the webserver to run panels on multiple iPADs using Safari:
The two older iPads do not render the panel graphics correctly: Part of the panel is showing part is not. I've done the usual fixes (restarts, refresh). The operating system and browser cannot be further updated on the older iPads.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. ?
Thanks!,
Michael

Re: Getting latest decoder definitions vs. JMRI release vs. Java version
Just a note to the group.
I am using an older Dell 64bit PC with Win10 and was also limited to Oracles Java8! I just removed Java8 with oracles uninstall and was successful in downloading Azuls JAVA 11 and then loaded JMRI 5.1 Everything worked first try! Now I have a dedicated computer with a large bright display for just running the layout! Thanks to you folks that provided some direction and answers to the group! |

That is not a load indicator.? That is, behind-the-scenes, a momentum calculation.? It is combination of the load and brake. I intend to hide it in the final versions. umm... I see a huge difference in the momentum calculation. Ok, I'll document it. That is an attempt to represent the air reservoir. If the reservoir is empty You can't apply brake, or full brake. i.e. if you dump the brakes, the reservoir empties.? You can't fully reapply till it fills.
I don't see that. For me it steps at about the rate set. It won't be exactly that as it sends then receives a response, so there can be a little bit of delay. ?
The combination of the repeat delay(s) and the step effectively set the base momentum (no load) on the loco.

Re: Enhancement idea for Engine Driver
#enginedriver
Hi George,
?
re Onboard Loco Simulator
?
Quite the project. Interesting. I agree -- wouldn't it be nice if such functionality could be built in to all decoders (assuming it didn't add a lot more cost). Perhaps it will come someday. The functionality of the ESP32-based technology is very impressive.
?
In terms of your idea for ED buttons, in my limited experimentation, I came to the conclusion that your idea of using the DOWN button to invoke a given function (brake) would be handy. I might still lean to a horn-like momentary action rather than a latching action but that is hard to confirm without actually being able to try it.

I did see that the schedule and mode are in the location export.? I'm confused, tho.? Are you saying that the same schedule could be assigned to Spur A in match mode, and Spur B in sequential mode?? How?

Thanks for enhancing the schedule export.

Re: Engine Driver - Semi Realistic Throttle
#enginedriver
Hi Peter,
?
Some questions after several hours of playing around ...
?
1. Re load
- Does the indicator of 1.00 == no extra load?
- Load indicator seems to positive and negative but I can't determine why or whether this matters
- I can't figure out the load algorithm (3 load steps, load multiplier 100) load goes from 1.00 to 1.30 to 2.20 to 3.70
- When I set the load multiplier to 20 or 200, I get the same progression. A bug? Or am I doing something wrong?
Setting up these parameters for reasonable loco performance is requires a fair bit of "try it and see" given that I am also working with decoder momentum, so understanding the relationship of load step to throttle impact would be really helpful. I am assuming that that is what the load indicator is intended to provide.
?
2. Re brakes
- I have been using the ESU three brake option - functions 4, 5, and 6.
- To keep it simple I have 3 brake steps
- Brake steps 1, 2 and 3 activate F4, F5 and F6 as expected. I like how it highlights the function in the normal function button section of the throttle.
- What is the slider bar to the immediate left of the brake panel showing?
?
3. Re Accel/Decel settings
- The Repeat Delay setting implies it goes up from 1 msec. But it seems like there is some slower minimum speed step repeat delay. about 1 sec? True?
?
Thanks
John

Eric, After starting PanelPro and loading the layout xml data file, go to the turnout table. ?What is the current state for the turnouts? Now do one click and see if anything changed in the turnout table. Dave Sand ----- Original message ----- From: "Eric Troup via groups.io" <etroup=[email protected]> Subject: Re: [jmriusers] NCE Accessory Event Monitoring and possibly CS-105 Date: Wednesday, January 08, 2025 10:07 AM Well, the script was supposed to do nothing. I wanted to simulate pushing the turnout icon once on the Panel Pro Main Panel. Something happens that reports the physical state and updates the Main Panel if they are out of synch. It takes a second touch on the icon to change the turnout position. I just have not figured out what that first step is yet nor how to access that programmatically. ? The main panel display is on iPads accessing the Panel Pro Web Server. That works well. ? However, I wanted to supplement that with physical buttons located at the edge that can also change turnouts without going to the Main Panel. Below is an example of one such button that changes a crossover. ? It would be very nice if activation of the local button would update the Panel Pro Main Panel. ? The major reason I stopped building elaborate panels is to reduce physical wiring and make things more software driven. However, individual button controls like this are very nice to have especially in support of local operations. Adding another circuit to incorporate a sensor is another added piece of wiring infrastructure to install and maintain. |
That makes sense, Mike.? Thanks for explaining that.? However, I can confirm everything is always written on the mainline correctly as I do sound volume changes and speed matching and have yet to have any issues. So is there any way to adjust the timeout time or turn off any verification to ease the length of time it takes to finally fail and move on to the next thing, which it will finally succeed at?
