Re: WiThrottle function master list #functionlabels

 

Steve,
?
Decoders are a mixed bag but 90% are ESU, the others are mostly TSU.
?
I don’t mind editing XML if I am pointed in the right direction.?

Regardless of the decoder, all my functions are standardized.?

Yep. I believe it is a Windows and/or Java problem that occurs when the Windows computer is configured for a display "scaling" factor that is other than 100%.

The problem and what I have done as a "workaround" has been discussed in the last couple of weeks. I do not have a convenient link, but I do know that it had the subject/topic "Text labels appears only partially", and I had responded on 11Mar2025.

So, please look to that separate thread for the details.
truncated text labels #labels

 

Good morning all,
windows 11,
jmri 5.11.4
Java 17
my panels are Layout Editor panels.
I'm noticing that almost all of my text labels are getting cut short.?
example, "Track2" looks like this "Trac..." on the? panel. I try to fix each instance of this occance, store all tables and panels after the fix, but when I restart panel pro, the issue returns.?
is there a fix to this? problem?
John?

What is specified in your traininfo file that you are loading, Roster, User... etc
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.

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.
That gives Transit A a chance to initiate the new transit and avoids the "block already occupied" error.
?
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: Problem loading Bachrus Speedometer #bachrus

 

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?

I recently tried installing my Bachrus Speedometer on a(newer) laptop with JMRI on it.
It has Win 10; JMRI 5.11.4, NCE Power Cab (latest chip v1.65b) all installed. Power Cab runs fine on system.

I had trouble loading the supplied driver (from 2006), but after discussing it with a good friend who is a Windows Certified Technician, he walked me through a procedure to instal a "legacy" driver. Windows now sees the unit ( in Device Manager). I walked through the JMRI setup for Bachrus speedometer, all the way through to the (almost) End. This message appeared, which to me says there's something in JMRI that need updating...?

As what JMRI need is WAAAAAY beyond my paygrade, is there someone out there (preferably a develope) who I could work with to resolve this?

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.

Team,

At the museum we have a Dell PC running Windows 10 and Java 11.? Currently JMRI version 5.10 is running on the machine.?

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.

Re: Automatic Dispatching

 

Tony, I forgot to address some of your questions.
?
Most of my blocks are train length.? Some are not; a couple of? turnouts and the yard ladders, for example. Blocks where a train might stop are programmed with their length in inches.
?
Blocks are physically isolated, with BDL168 occupancy detection.
?
I have? not created a simple loop panel with no turnouts.? I was workking on SML? and placing masts when I ran into the software setting up masts on the frog end of a turnout, but not offering a mast on the points end.? This is, however the same turnout I couldn't get a Transit to cross from Block Apex Gate to Ramp 1.
?
I stopped at this ooint, fearing I was chasing down the wrong path to getting my trains to stage properly/
?
I saw a YouTube video of a Brit having his trains stop before a train alredy in staging track and moe forwatd automatically when the train ahead departs.? Trouble is, he showed the rains stopping aand moving, but no display of the JMRI setup.
?
Bill
Re: Automatic Dispatching

 

Thanks you both for the replies.? I'm very thankful for the effort to solve my questions.? I'll work on them later today if I can.
?
Tony, I have my panel set up with Blocks and Sections, and was working on Transits.? A couple of the Turnouts are in Blocks by themselves, but most of them are part of the Block on the points side of the turnout.? I can't wire them separately at this point.? I've never heard of Ghost Blocks.? I also use only the stable versions of JMRI.? I will look into your suggestions.? I will look this up when I get chance.
?
Dave, I will also get the layout uploaded later today.? I should have thought of uploading it, you and others helped me once before by doing that.? Per your question, I ran into the continuing route problem on the Layout Panel, trying to get the Transit to exit Block Apex Gate via LT501 into Block Ramp 1.? It only offered diverging route Ramp 2.? I also noted that trying to go the reverse direction, a Transit exiting Block Ramp1 and intending to continue into Block Apex Gate.? The Apex Gate Block was not available.? Astoundingly, though, exiting turnout LT501 via Ramp 2, the diverging route, was available.? quite a tight turn!
Re: Chaining transits with a different locomotive #dispatcher

 

Ken,

How do you do that? Threre is nothing to terminate in the transit definition, only on the "create new train" screen.

Re: Serial port issue with CMRI using Windows 10- JMRI crashes #cmri

 

Ken,

My experience is that making a big leap is not an issue with panels, unless custom items are out of place.

The problems are in the base JMRI directory, such as C:\Users\<username>\JMRI. ?There have been a lot of changes in profile handling since they were introduced in JMRI 3.8. ?

I have helped two local layouts upgrade from 3.10 to 5.x. ?The JMRI data directory is renamed. ?After removing and installing Java and JMRI, PanelPro is started which creates the default My JMRI Railroad profile. ?For these layouts, the roster directory and the layout data xml file are copied from the old directory. ?After rebuilding the roster index, the data flle is loaded and stored. ?

I’ve got a feeling the biggest issue with getting up to date on your layout is many things were put in directories that conflict with newer versions. In short, everything for your layout should be in the JMRI directory in the home directory of the login user. At the least, that’s the connection information and the panel file. But long time ago, many users put custom icons and similar things into the JMRI directory under the \Program Files\ path.

?

Does this sound like a description that fits?
