Update. It is the Decoder Pro Comprehensive Programming window that goes over the top of the visible screen. The Decoder Pro Roster screen is OK for me. Does the same with a monitor connected or running headless. Disabling WayVNC (VNC Server) has no effect. The File - Reset - Window - Help menu options do show and I am able to close the window using Window - Close.

I have the same issue with the Decoder Pro roster panel on a RPI4 2 GB, running headless with WayVNC, JMRI 5.10 and Java 17.0.14. Same issue on prior versions of JMRI. And I believe connecting a monitor to the RPI has the same issue but I'll haul out a monitor this morning and double check that.

Hi Birger,
My RPi-JMRI image does not show that behavior.
Are you using Wayland?
What version (exactly) of Java are you running??

Raspberry Pi - panel placement for Roster, Preferences, DCC-EX Monitor maximized at fixed locations.

I just finished building a DCC-EX station and a RPI 5 with JMRI.? All items are the latest production versions (JMRI, JAVA, DCC-EX RaspOS)
Things are coming together nicely. Learning as I go.
One quirk I'm seeing is the Roster panel within Panel-Pro maximizes to the upper left and can't be moved about like other identity panels.
This also holds true for Preferences and DCC-EX Monitor.
Is this a bug ? or what dictates the placement of the panel upon opening the item?
?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for replies. I finally got my old Acer Windows 10 laptop talking to my EasyDCC command station and could program loco CV's both on the main and program track. It involved messing around with resets on the command station and re-installing the driver software for my Uintek cable - phew!!
Now I need to find out why the newer HP Windows 11 laptop will not connect when it used to do so.
More testing to day.

Steve Todd image window partly offscreen
#rpi
This isn't strictly a JMRI problem.? I am setting up Steve Todd's image and while editing the Preferences somehow managed to get the window to the top of the screen with the window title bar not showing.? Please how do I reposition the window.? I don't know if it is JMRI or the OS has remembered it and I don't know where to look to see if I can change it.

Hello,
?
I have deleted my previous message because it was unclear and my images were crap... So let do it again :)
?
I use JMRI 5.11.3 with Java 23.0.2 connected to DCC-EX 5.4.6.?My turnouts are defined in the DCCEX station as virtual pins.
Everything seems to be fine, locos are running and I can switch single turnouts in the turnout table. But if I try to draw my layout in the panel editor I still can operate simple coil driven turnouts but no "complex" ones. Slips and three ways are not working as they should.
?When I click on the icon of a three ways turnout the turnout will be shown as inconsistant after about 5 seconds. I have to clear it with the <T> command. However the physical positions of the turnout are correct.?
?
The turnouts are declared the right way in the dcc base station.
?
I have made some screenshots of this turnout configuration :?
 ? ?
?
?
?
As following I have made screenshots of the DCC trafic monitor after the first click that blocks the turnout, the with te <T> comand:
?
?
?
The second click is fine
?
Third click is like the first, 5 seconds delay and inconsistant state, needs the <T> command
?
Does anybody have an idea ??
?
Thanks !

Hi,
In the past I remember to test it on test version 5.9.7 and to work correctly but today it doesn't work anymore. I tested on my 5.10 and on the 5.9.7 versions that I have installed. Is it merged and solved the issue?

I want to implement a call of on the home signals of an station. I set the permissive on the block and all works correctly. I used the logixng to program the option. I can save correctly but the problem comes at the loading of the panel on a next session. When I load the panel I have a Parse error that says that: >? > Error on line 5256: cvc-enumeration-valid: Value 'PermissiveSmlDisabled' is not facet-valid with respect to enumeration '[Aspect, Lit, NotLit, Held, NotHeld, IsPermissiveSmlDisabled, IsPermissiveSmlNotDisabled]'.

I open the file on panel pro and it works but all related to the Permissive SML on the signal is blank and obviously it doesn't work. Why if the error indicates that it must be on a kind of value if you use it it doesn't work?

?No. Since DDG grains are very light, you would only use the largest available hoppers for loading, not the ones delivering corn.

I would guess you would just define 2 tracks. JMRI does not really need to know about the 7 tracks, but just 2 tracks: a drop off track and a pick up track. Basicly, it is just like a "foreign" interchange yard. At Wed, 26 Feb 2025 19:09:00 -0800 "John Buckley via groups.io" <buckleyjohnj@...> wrote:

Thanks Jake
?
I did play with that but I felt it created a little bit of an artificial and constrained approach.? The train simply visits each spur and picks up and drops off some cars, rather than having the puzzle of the entire switching area.?
?
It certainly works, but takes a lot of work for the conductor out of the picture because all of the thinking is basically done by JMRI although it did force a fair bit of use of the 'yard' area due to the constraints in the run around tail sizes.? However once you have the cars on the right end of your engine it was just back and forth to switch the spur.
?
I know it sounds like I'm simply describing any switching but at least for me there's a fair bit more mental capacity required when there's some 27-odd otherwise random move instructions (when the entire layout is one location with multiple spurs)

Eric thanks for the great questions.
?
1. I have a 10 drawer storage cart that serves as my offsite yard. Normally I would have JMRI tell me what cars to pull from what drawers. I would hand deliver them to one of 2 interchange tracks and from there is where the local would pick up its consist or drop off whatever it picked up along the route. I would then hand deliver those cars back to the designated storage drawer.
?
2. Yes a car that has been emptied of corn and sitting on a storage track could be sent to track 1 for DDG loading. But that would only be done by the ADM switcher.
?
3. Only tank cars are assigned to track 7. Track 7 is long enough that if needed I could store 2 or 3 extra tank cars.
?
One more thing I should have mentioned. When an empty car is picked up by the local and delivered to the interchange and then to the storage drawers, it should automatically become a load for the next time its selected.. I'm not sure how to tell JMRI to do that. EXCEPT the tank cars. Those will always be picked up from ADM as loads and then automatically changed to empties once back in storage.
|
John,
?
At first look - this is a relatively simple solution in Ops Pro.
?
However, a couple of questions to clarify how you want to operate....
?
1. Do you have a track from which the local brings in the cars from the rest of the world, and takes them back out, or are the cars in tracks 4,5 and 6 deemed at the start to be the deliveries, then, on the next round, deemed to be the next set of deliveries (that is, the cars actually do not move out of the yard, it is just their status that is changing)?
?
2. Can the empty cars delivering the corn be used to load the DDG?
?
3. Are the tank cars only assigned to track 7, or could the local deliver more tank cars and need to put them in tracks 4, 5 or 6 for the switcher to switch when those cars on track 7 are loaded?
?
Regards,
?

Re: Unable to Delete a Sensor; Then a Java Error Displays when Storing the XML

The Usage tab lists references that are "listening" for changes. ?The "Routes turnout sensor" does not listen for changes. ?The sensor is set when the route completes. ?

Problem Statement:
Using the attached config.
?
I try to delete this sensor:? IS51 Show Route: Sawmill to Team 2 V2.
On the Sensors panel, the item is not deleted but I get no error message.? I've been fighting this for a few hours and I THINK I saw that, once I get this behavior, then no Sensors will be deleted from then on, until you restart PanelPro.
?
When I store the modified config, I get the error message shown in the attached log.
?
Resolution:
I finally figured out that, at one time, on the Route:? Sawmill to Team 2, I had assigned the IS51 sensor as a?
"Sensor that activates when all Route Turnouts are correctly aligned".? When I removed that association, I was able to delete IS51 and all was good.??
?
So, I'm okay now.
?
Followup Request:
I think that PanelPro should have detected that IS51 was used by the Route and should have stopped the Delete action from proceeding.? I've seen it give a message when it detects that a Sensor is used somewhere and then stopped the Delete from proceeding.? I actually did check the "Usage" tab for IS51 before trying to delete it and it said it wasn't used anywhere.

Works like a champ.? Perfect.? Digital Formula... good for a million tricks.?

Now that I know what to search for, I see you've answered this one before... /g/jmriusers/message/223894 .? Although in Robin's and my defense, a search on these functions at JMRI site shows no helpful results, and the Chpt9 discussion doesn't show how to format the action as you have... and not what I would consider obvious, so your help is invaluable here.? ?
