Re: YouTube Video of JMRI Running Auto Train
Thanks, Mick.? Enjoyed watching a couple of the McKinley Railway videos.
?
That's quite an ambitious project, and it's fun to see where he's going with it.? I see he's using RFID to track individual "carriages"? and Train Controller software.
?
I'm using BDL168s for detection, so I don't have the identification feature he's enjoying.? I'm also deep enough into JMRI that I won't be changing my control software.? I may be adding some IR sensors for more precise train stopping later.
?
I've saved a link to this for future reference.
?
Thanks again.

Is there a way to keep my model board “as-is” while reconfiguring some of the columns?

I'm finding the sensor trips the script, but...
?
The log? is showing multiple events....
?
I do have the 'Delay to Inactive' on the sensor set to 60000
?
With this setting, I thought the code would run through once, and then wait for the next active.

here is where i stand now....
I need to split the routine of the signal changing...
?
I'll put another sensor at another location to rest the signals to 'Stop Signal' instead of just waiting for a time.
?
But for now, this is great, thank you
?
This at least lets the engineer 'see' the signal change.
?
Maybe for the time, I can change the resetting of the signals to only be done when the sensor becomes inactive?
?
Thou i did the editing, I'm still not 100 percent in understanding. If i had to start from scratch, I could not do it.

Yes, making the changes to demo should verify that things are working.
Some comments about the changes:
Lines 12-14: This is a list of the occupancy sensors. ?For testing, I used "provideSensor" but these should be "getSensor" with the user names instead of system names.
Lines 19-24: ?This is a Python dictionary that has the sensor name as a key and a list of tuples as the value. ?A tuple is a short list of values. ?In this case the signal mast user name, the aspect name and the number of seconds to wait before setting the aspect. ?The second entry shows everything on one line. ?The first entry shows how to split the line if it becomes too long.
Lines 31-35: ?The "setup" function is passed the sensor name and the new state. ?The state will be 2 for Active and 4 for Inactive. ?The name is used to select the proper actionList entry. ?The current logic in the "handle" function runs for both the sensor becoming active and inactive. ?Since I don't understand what you are actually trying to do I decided to include the sensor state in case it is needed.
Line 38: ?Convert the value (a list of tuples) into a Python list with a row for each tuple.
Line 40: ?This splits the tuple into three variables.
Lines 49-55: ?Expand the "propertyChange" event to extract the data, create the SignalLogic instance, pass the data and give it a name.
Lines 65-75: ?Use the sensorList to remove old listeners and add new listeners.
Here is the console log with the changes.

Re: PanelPro New Feature - Panel Swipe Navigation on Tablet
Ken,
I believe he is asking about swiping the web panels in a browser, not JMRI panels on a computer.
?
Vinny,
It seems unlikely you really want the swipe to randomly select the next panel to show. You're going to want to put them in some sort of sequence A <> B <> C, etc.
I'd recommend using the linking labels to do that. Place a linking label on the right and left edges of each panel, linked to the desired panel in that "direction".
--SteveT

After you run the script, go to the sensor table and change the sensor state for the ISoccupancySensor sensor. ?Then you will see the messages in the?SignalLogic class.

Re: PanelPro New Feature - Panel Swipe Navigation on Tablet
Vinny, ? The concept sounds reasonable. But checking? that that the swipe action is available via the Java look and feel for our three platforms would be the first thing to check. Sometimes there are things that the libraries don’t support. I’m saying this as I don’t know of any code in JMRI that uses swipes. It may be your idea is just the first or maybe it isn’t supported. I don’t know. ? -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team

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.

Re: 5.11.4 Assistance Needed, Ghost Blocks Issue, Dispatcher Issue

I suspect that the issue is starting a multi-block section with a ghost block. ?This might also be an issue when ending one with a ghost block.

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.

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.
