Hi Bob,

I should have said I looked for the section named </connections and then found a section that started <connection that contained the connection for the NCE via serial interface.

Re: Serial port issue with CMRI using Windows 10- JMRI crashes
#cmri
Hi Bob,
?
I had a similar problem the other week when I tried to use a USB to Serial Adapter (for NCE Power Pro 5) with JMRI 5.6 on a Windows 11 laptop.
?
I solved the problem by editing (in Notepad++) the profile.xml file for JMRI and removing a section relating to the connection:
?
I looked for the section named </connections and then found a section that started <connection> that contained the connection for the NCE via serial interface.
?
I removed that entire section from <connection to </connection>? ?hopefully someone who knows more about JMRI can correct me if I wrote that down incorrectly or I'm not using the best solution or I was just lucky.
?
I then saved the profile.xml back where I found it, restarted JMRI Panel Pro and then it booted up correctly instead of hanging.
?
Regards

PanelPro New Feature - Panel Swipe Navigation on Tablet
Team, I have about 70 control panels and I navigate them using buttons with links. While this works fine, I can see my panel count only growing with time. The thought occurred to me of the possibilty of adding a swipe function to navigate from Panel to Panel from a web view (tablet). For example, if you could assign a Panel to a SWIPE GROUP then swiping right or left would take you to the next panel in the group. Does this sound like it would be useful to others?

5.11.4 Assistance Needed, Ghost Blocks Issue, Dispatcher Issue
#dispatcher
I think I finally learned enough to make it thru SML but am stuck on Dispatcher which may be related to ghost blocks.
?
I made all turnouts ghost, added sensor and have no logic although I show the sensor on layout and the layout never shows entry occupancy and exit.
?
I initially used auto-generated sections but it was difficult for me to interpret so I deleted all and made a couple simple sections for testing. It initially stopped on a ghost block but by manually setting/clearing sensor the loco moved on and then stopped after going past a level crossing. (There was nothing in the log.) I've tried a few things but can't relate to what dispatcher is thinking.
?
Uploaded file to problems as GGNN.xml from stevemac. I'm new yearning for knowledge so tell me anything. Any advice appreciated.

Darrin,
Did you download and look at the Demo.py script that I uploaded?
There are two kinds of persistence in Jython scripts.
"AbstractAutomaton" scripts create separate threads which are visible using the "Thread Monitor". ?It provides the ability to "stop" a thread.
Scripts using "PropertyChangeListener" attach a listener to JMRI objects, such as turnouts, sensors, etc. ?The listeners are created by a script but a listener is independent after the script has finished. ? The Demo.py script shows how to "remove" a listener from a JMRI object.
If you look at the actual execution of a Jython script, they run quickly. ?The Demo.py script runs in 12ms. ?However, it leaves behind an?AbstractAutomaton class definition and a sensor listener, along with any changes to global Jython variables.

Re: Problem loading Bachrus Speedometer
#bachrus
Bob;
When I press OK on the message, it then goes back to the "Finish and Connect" screen.? When I press Finish again the message appears again, so it's looping.
When?I press Cancel, it goes back to the initial startup screen and Gettin Started in RED.
I then restarted JMRI and selected my Power Cab.? The program opened, with no sign of the Bachrus connection in Preferences.? I then added Bachrus, saved the page and restarted JMRI.? Now i get the screen of Error Initializing Decoder Pro. saying it cannot create a connection to Speedo (A).? Serial Port COM6 not found.?? Checking my Device Manager it shows the Bachrus Speedo Interface (COM6).
So I'm not sure where or what in JMRI isn't making the connection.
Jim Little, MMR?
Sorry for the problem.? Looks like it might be an issue with the startup wizard
What happens if you press OK on that message, then press “Finish” on the underlying window?
If you then close and restart JMRI, what happens?

In the Load Traininfo are you specifying Default/Current/Roster/Address??

I have found a problem that generates an error specifying that there is no DCC address, but canot reproduce the problem as reported. PS the trainname may be the same, but the DCC address should be different.

Now, that's the reverse move.
Simply add another "load traininfo" for Locomotive B either before of after the first "load traininfo" action.
That will kickoff both Train A in reverse and Train B.
?
Just remember to do all that loading and terminating in transit actions, not in the traininfo file (no reverse, no terminate, no load).

Re: DecoderPro Opens every time as a new install
Thanks Dave, I will try to get over there on Friday morning to get the information.
George ronn
George,
Before starting DecoderPro, use the file manager and go to C:\Users\<username>\JMRI.? Replace <username> with the name of the Windows user used for logon.
You should see a similar list of files as shown here.
You probably will not have the PanelProConfig2.properties file or the jython directory unless you also use PanelPro.
In the log directory there will be session.log and messages.log files.? Upload the messages.log file to the group's ProblemsBeingWorkedOn file folder.

Subject: [jmriusers] Decoder Pro Opens every time as a new install
Date: Tuesday, March 25, 2025 2:14 PM
Team,
?
I really need some help on this issue.? I posted on it a couple weeks back and got zero replies.
?
At the museum we have a Dell PC running Windows 10 and Java 11.? Currently JMRI version 5.10 is running on the machine.? Every time JMRI opens it is a new install running the set-up wizard where we have to choose the Sprogg unit, the com port, etc.? It also does not remember that there should be a roster of locomotives.? ?I uninstalled the JMRI software by selecting uninstall in the apps window.? I confirmed that all directories are removed from the system.? I re-installed JMRI.? There is no change in the behavior.? Save locos to the Roster, it recognizes them until the next time decoder pro is started and then it opens as a new install with the wizard wanting you to choose Sprogg, com port, etc.? Once you do that it comes up with no roster.
?
I'm at my wits end on this one.? Can someone offer suggestions or ideas to try.
?

Re: Chaining transits with a different locomotive

In the last step of your transit, there are actions.
One action is the "load traininfo", another of significance is "terminate".
Here's what I do on a reverse move.

When I want train A to stop and reverse, In the last transit step (where the train stops), add action "load traininfo file".
The new traininfo file references the opposite direction and a unique transit to run in that direction.
(I've never had success to my satisfaction using a reverse move in a single transit)
After the "load traininfo", do a "terminate" action with a 1.5second delay.

Simply add another "load traininfo" for Locomotive B either before of after the first "load traininfo" action.

Just remember to do all that loading and terminating in transit actions, not in the traininfo file (no reverse, no terminate, no load).
