Re: DecoderPro no loco roster #roster

 

Mike,

Recreating your roster index shouldn't eliminate the operations part of JMRI.? Something else happened.? Do you have more than one profile?

Re: DecoderPro no loco roster #roster

 

I am lost as to why I cannot access my railroad in operation pro. I have been using the switch list almost every day to operate sine 2022. Evrything was fine tuned to fit the railroad. And yesterday after fixing the loco roster in decoder pro the railroad name is showing active without the information of the railroad.?

Do I give up and find another way of creating switch list to operate my railroad??

Tony,

Warrants have never been in Tools -> Tables. ?You might be thinking of Warrants entry in Preferences.

Bxp88¡¯s always powered from the output of a PSX breaker with all 5 breakers getting power from track output of command center.

Can anyone tell me what happened to the last table that use to be part of the list of tables

Thank you

Thinking about it, if the bxp88 was powered by a 9v power supply and now is only powered from the track, that would also account for the different behavior.

Any info on how to find any other variables controlling speed during automation.
The engines ,3 of them, ?dont run very fast even at 100% speed by ?throttle but the automation is running them at a hardly moving speed when i set speed to max in blocks and 200% in creation. ?Thus they stop when going over switches as they have no momentum to get them past the 1.5 inch throwing mechanism which does not have power.

What you describe sounds like you are using "head only". Try loco by itself with the correct length and "full trian" detection.

Re: Chaining transits with a different locomotive #dispatcher

 

Jean
See if there's anything in the logs. Also, in the debug menu you can up the logging level of the dispatcher to debug or trace.?
See if it's waiting on an allocation, or signal. The signal issue can be easily checked by running dispatcher with the no signals option.
Does it work if using a simulated connection?

Nothing surprising. My Compare current loco with saved loco CVs shows no differences.

Warrants autotrain doesn't require a speed profile as it will create one if one doesn't exist.
It can also modify it to reflect actual operating conditions checking elapse time to traverse blocks.

Re: Have a question about having a train pick up a specific car #operationspro

 

It could be as simple as only allowing the station track to accept the express and diner cars.? Place the diner cars at the intermediate station. Now build the train and see if the express car is set out and the diner car is pulled.

That was my mistake and has been correct in 5.11.2 on, it was confusing me as well as most every one else.

I believe that is a setting in the bxp88, JMRI digitrax only changes occupancy on a change / status being reported from the hardware, its not polled.

I am trying to program an BLI engine I had upgraded to Paragon4. Sometime I program a section and it work fine and sometime I get 308 errors. Also I program one section and another section changes. Also the smoke unit works when F7 off and goes off when F7 on. I going to reload the DCC+ software but I do not believe that will help since I tried other locomotive and everything works.

Dear Steve
I retried again today and automation worked.
Hope my repaired bxp¡¯s do not have an intermittent problem.
The default when openning a create train is head only so yes the 3 allocations occurred using head only.

Does that mean head only automation doesn¡¯t work?

I noticed when i shut track power the layout panel hold the correct allocation and occupation information.
In the past when i shut power blocks not occupied would go occupied. Was that a change?

I did not test the 3 allocations using only one train yet

Re: Help With crossover

 

Brett,

Your configuration looks correct.

While it is possible to specify up to four blocks, the normal process is to use one block for the first two entries and one for the other two entries.

Sometimes, for historical reasons it is not possible to treat the crossover as having only two blocks.

Hi Members
Could someone please help me out with A Single crossover and JMRi
?
First things first.
Please take a look at this photo of the Crossover
I presumed that one turnout has one Block so A Crossover just needs 2.
Is that correct?
Each end of the 4 crossover ends i have isolated,Power is feed to the small joins attached to the(each side) crossover(2) to make 2 blocks with sensors
Is that correct?
?
My problem comes when i choose single LH Crossover in JMRI then when i go to set masts it ask for 4 Blocks,but i only have 2
Can someone explain the Four please?
?
Appreciate your time
