Re: YouTube Video of JMRI Running Auto Train
I did several YouTube videos showing train operation and my JMRI Panel Pro Dispatching set up. ?Try this one and then you will see a few other older videos that might also be of help. |

Hi,?
I am in the middle of prototyping my own DCC Accessory decoder hardware (using MicroBahner's DCC_Zubehoerdecoder software) and I would like to be able to adjust CV's and switch outputs from a window.
Basically, I would like to re-create decoderpro's Turnout Control action window, but with more specific buttons and CV inputs.?
I have had a look through some of the scripting examples, and I'm happy building on JButtonComplexExample.py to do what I want.?
The issue I have is whilst I believe that I can write CV's to the decoders using the code from OpsProgExample.py, what I can't find how to do is throw the turnouts based on their address (same as the Turnout Control window).?
I went looking to see if I could find the code for the Turnout Control window and didn't get that far.?
Could anyone point me to where the code for the Turnout Control window is (so I can copy / mod) or suggest how I would control turnouts and show their current state like this window does (as in, what functions do I need to use in the script).?
Many thanks?
Gareth?

Re: YouTube Video of JMRI Running Auto Train
Raymond
This may or may not be the video to which you refer, but here is
a link to a video I made about 3 years ago
I originally made it in support of articles which I wrote on the
sujject of JMRI Automation for the NMRA British Region magazine.
I have copies of these articles if you wish to see them.
Enjoy the video anyway.

Re: Connect to Marklin Central station with TCP
#maerklin
I have a few observations:
- In Preferences -> Defaults, I see two entries for Marklin-CS2. ?The second doesn't have any radio buttons selected. Probably just cosmetic.
- Tools -> New Throttle allows the selection of DCC, MFX, and Motorola protocols. ?This is great! It would be truly great if the protocol could be set in the roster for exisitng locos and used for throttles. ?There is a column already for protocol, but the value cannot be changed. Throttles created from the roster are DCC.
- Ops mode and Service mode programming are not available. This may be hard to implement without knowing the details of the Marklin protocol.

I use virtual classification tracks in my yards so that I can see which cars are potentially assigned to outgoing trains.? This build I noticed that one of my trains was oversubscribed by 100% so I decided to redirect those cars.? I used the Set function to move the cars to a different outgoing virtual track and associated destination.? JOps properly recorded the moves in the logger file, but didn't update the last moved field.
?
I use the car export function to get the data I need to produce waybills and empty car orders.? I expected to easily identify those cars that I moved by simply sorting the export on the Last field.? Didn't happen.? Disappointed.? I was able to use the log to identify the cars, and then pick them out of the export for my needs.
?
Why take the trouble to log but not update the Last field?

Hello,
I would like to use the TCP protocol to connect to a M?rklin central station 3 (or, in my case, a surrogate). The current JMRI implementation uses UDP which has been deprecated in favor of TCP by M?rklin. The only thing changed is the switch from UDP to TCP; the data stream remains exactly the same. The TCP port is 15731. This should be a simple change in and of itself, but there may be need to be some change to the setup page. Any help and guidance is appreciated. Thanks.

Clarification?
For car type I can enter ‘boxcar-materials’ but when I try to enter car type ‘boxcar materials’ it limits me to 12 characters.?

Lock Control Panel Position on Tablet
Team,
I've got a bunch of Control Panels that I view on Tablets all working fine and there is a slight annoyance that occurs when I inadvertently swipe the tablet screen and the whole panel moves about 1/4"-1/2" vertically and it also can also move horizontally about the same amount. See attached photos. Is there a way to lock the panel so that this doesn't happen or what can I do to prevent this?

Re: B&O 1960 Mast problem

Roger, ? Take a look at the Signal definitions for your chosen system at .? Then pick the exact signal mast you put on your panel and look at all the aspects it supports.? If the signal mast you picked has aspects like “Approach Medium”, “Approach Limited”, etc and you haven’t disabled them in the signal mast table entry, then the logic is more complicated than if the only aspects are “Stop”, “Approach” and “Clear”.?
