Automatic Dispatching
I've tried several different ways to get trains to run automatically, but I keep running into ( maybe I should say "creating my own") roadblocks.? At 83, I'm not sure how many more wrong ways to do it I can afford to try.
?
I've set signal heads all around the layout.? I try to set Blocks, Sections and a Transit to run a train and I get it set to go through several Sections, but then I get to a turnout and it will allow me to set the diverging route out, but the continuing route isn't available.? I can't find what's different between the Block on he diverging leg and the one on the continuing leg of the turnout.
?
So, I read some of the JMRI documentation and decided to try using Signal Masts and letting JMRI set up Sections and Transits on the fly.? I took a portion of the Panel and deleted the signal heads around a turnout to use the Set Signal Masts menu.? It sets the Masts for both routes entering the frog end of the turnout, but there's no option to set a Mast with signals for the points end of the same turnout.
?
Before I waste any more time on rabbit holes, can someone steer me to the easiest way to set up my goals?? Or point me at the page in the JMRI documents where I can read the proper steps to take and the order to build it?
I'd like to:
1.? Be able to send a train autonomously from the modeled layout into a specific staging track.
2.? Be able to have trains scheduled to come out of staging into the modeled area at preprogrammed clock times or upon specified events.
3.? Be able to manually trigger a train in staging? by selecting either the train or the track it's on and select where it needs to go.
?

This forum has been so great thanks to the helpful folks here who have been so willing to share their time and experience. |

Re: Script help please
#scripting
Richard, One way to share data between Jython classes is to use sensors for states and memory variables for values. If you really want to share the data within the Jython context, you have to use the "global" option. ?When a variable is modified within a class, the local variable will be modified. ?This will not be visible to other classes. ?If the first statement in the function is "global varname", the subsequent changes to the variable will be visible to other classes. Here is an example:

Re: WiThrottle function master list
#functionlabels
Lou, what decoder type are you using for those 150 Roster Entries? Often decoder definitions include the function key defaults.
?
Are you comfortable editing the XML directly? If you are, you can set up one and then copy the updated block in the XML to your other 149. Then Rebuild the Roster Index.

Mike, not understanding your reply. You made mention of a master setting but then referred to the individual locomotive.

How do I go about setting a master function list for all locomotives to be applied to?

Re: java
Short answer: no. Longer answer: don't bother with Oracle's Java. There are
other options, none of which will ask for a subscription. Oracle Java (other than version 8) is only available as a JDK and is meant for developers who are writing Java code. Oracle wants to keep track (?) of people writing Java programs. Do go to JMRI.org/java and read that page carefully. There are *free* downloads for Java runtime (JRE) for Java 11 or Java 17 from a few other places besides Oracle.

Serial port issue with CMRI using Windows 10- JMRI crashes
#cmri
开云体育Tom, Since we had an offline personal conversation about JMRI-CMRI compatibility problem 2 years ago, I am writing directly to you with CC the jmriusers? to make sure that someone sees this, My system info: Panel Pro 3.10.1-r28327 Java 1.8.0_421 (en.ca) Reason for using this old software is because my JMRI panels made many years ago were incompatible with current JMRI and Java when I upgraded my home computer to a Windows 10 machine in 2023.? The panel display was badly corrupted and Tom helped me instal old versions of JMRI and Java on the new Windows 10 machine in June 23, 2023 The executable JMRI panel file is ported to an old XP machine running the CMRI signalling system composed of CMRI RS232 to RS 484 Conversion card connected to 2 SMINI’s. ? This worked fine until the old XP machine died.? Trying to use a Windows computer running Windows 10, but when using the JMRI Panel Pro version 3.10.1 on simulation it ?works OK, but when going to Preferences to go on line and trying to connect to serial port, JMRI crashes whether saving or not. The JMRI program now has been corrupted.? Had to delete JMRI and copy in JMRI directory of files that we had saved.? Now Panel Pro starts up in Simulation mode but will not run in on line CMRI mode. Looks like the old version of JMRI executable is incompatible with Windows 10. ? Tried to instal latest JMRI into another machine to see if I could get JMRI latest release to run online to CMRI on the Windows 10 machine and it downloads all the way to the un instal JMRI program and goes no further and hangs up. That may be an issue with this computer’s Windows setup as it cannot uninstall any other applications either.? Have seen on JMRI user that there are issues with Windows 10 and serial ports.? . This crash happens whether the UTS-TOS USB to RS485/232 is plugged into or not to a USB port on the computer.? ?Tried both the 2 com Port COM! & COM3 that were offered.?? Then Panel Pro will not start at all even after rebooting the computer. ?Will try to download latest JMRI and Java into a different computer later. ? Thank you,? Bob Winterton ?

No plans to make any changes that I can't make with this old version of Panel Pro which I understand. It is serving us well with CTC and APBS? controls for 8 years. many thanks for your clear and concise instructions, so I did not have to wade through release notes and other documentation. ? As you noticed from my posts I did find that my Panels files were quite graphics incompatible with the current JMRI Panel Pro.??? Upgrading would be a nightmare in trying to redo the Panels.? Would have to start from scratch, about a year's worth of trial and error.?

Re: Lock Control Panel Position on Tablet
Vinny,
You can remove the footer using css.
1) Find the file JMRI/web/css in your JMRI installation.
2) Follow the directions in that file to copy it into your User Files location.
3) Paste the following CSS at the bottom of that file.
?
/* hide the footer, on panel pages only */
body#panel footer { ? ? display: none; } /* undo spacing left for footer, on panel pages only */ body#panel div#wrap { ? ? margin-bottom: 0; ? padding-bottom: 0; } ?
4) Restart JMRI and clear your browser cache.

Chaining transits with a different locomotive
#dispatcher
Hi, Still continuing to test chaining of transits. It look like if you chain a new tansit using "load traininfo”? but with a different locomotive, dispatcher doesn't use the new locomotive but continue to run the new transit with the previous locomotive. Any idea? JeanLouisDelestre@...
