Indeed, however time is still relevant for modern operations.

Considering that JMRI has the hooks for dealing with 12 vs 24 hour time since some of the systems it ties to knows of both time formats, it shouldn¡¯t be hard of the programming side. ? But as others have pointed out defining how it will look is really the harder part. Example the dial clock does it via a small AM or PM on the dial face. Once a definition is stable, the implementation shouldn¡¯t be too much work for somebody. ? -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team

I¡¯ve tried Java 17 and Decoder Pro can¡¯t find any Java. ?Decoder Pro CAN find Java 11 JDK. ?I¡¯ve been at this for over a week and downloaded and tried 3 or 4 each Java 17 and Java 11. ?All I can got to work is Java 11 JDK.

To include AM / PM / am / pm ?? This would require someone to volunteer new graphics.

If the meridiem suffix isn't required it's a fair bit easier ;-)

You may or may not care, but if you do, that will make a "baseline" set of "requirements" for a future JMRI improvement of its "Tools"-"clocks" set of clock displaying functionality.

(In my opinion, this is an "owner's preference question", not a question of "prototypicalness". Especially since the typical computer which can run JMRI has existed for fewer than 25ish years, when trains have existed for around 200ish years.)

Tracy - I'm not sure what you're actually doing but here is the lonk for the Java 17 JRE DMG:

Re: Need Help Creating a Power Panel for my Layout
What version of EB1 do you have. I have modified a circuit that was on Tony's Train Exchange for DCC Specialties. I have a remote panel on front of layout to let me know when I have a short along with being able to have a JMRI Panel. If interested contact me.

Re: Importing LocSound file into DecoderPro
#decoderpro
Michael,
Adding some detail to Peter¡¯s response. You cannot import a LokSound project into DecoderPro. You can only import the values of the CVs. No sound. First you have to create a CV file using the LokProgrammer software. After opening the sound project with LokProgrammer, use ¡®Tools¡¯>¡¯Export CV list¡¡¯ to create the CV file. Then, after opening the appropriate interface for DecoderPro, use ¡®File¡¯>¡¯Import¡¯>¡¯LokProgrammer CV list file¡¡¯ to import the saved CVs.

Hi Norman,
?
You can have OperationsPro assign locomotives to your train after it departs staging.? You would use the locomotive change feature (Train build options) found under tools in the Edit Train window.
?
You ask the program to depart staging without locomotives, and then at a location in the train's route, add your consists.? Here's an example of where the train departs staging at Lakeview without locos, and then at Farmington, the program adds a 2 engine consist to the train.

Re: JMRI merchandise for donations
I would buy one to help support JMRI!

Given the following, how would I assign a consist to a train?? I have perused the topics on this web site and also studied the Ops Pro manual.? I am hoping for an easy way to have a loco consist associated with a train, but not to a specific staging track.
?
My system is NCE.? Staging is off layout made up basically of 30 tracks (boxes) containing the rolling stock (not locos) for trains.? The locos are off layout in boxes, but not assigned to specific staging tracks.
?
Currently I have five trains.? I have five default loco consists for each train, and additional consists that could be substituted into those trains.? But again, none are assigned to staging tracks.??
?
All trains begin in staging.? Ops Pro generates a train by selecting a train, and selecting a staging track for that train to draw cars from.? Once Ops Pro sets up the manifest, I move the cars manually to a fiddle track, then move the locos to the fiddle track.??
?
I would like to have a default loco consist for each train.? But also I would like to optionally change to a different consist for that train.? Currently, I manually write the consist onto the Ops Pro generated manifest.? But it would be convenient to have the default consist as part of the manifest generated by Ops Pro.

The Pi password is rpI-jmri. All lower case APART from the I in rpi. Most often that¡¯s the issue

If you simply load his image to the SD card, then (from his web site):
?
Once you've assembled the hardware and installed the image, first connect your RPi to your layout via your system's USB or serial connector, then plug in the RPi's power adapter. You should see some LEDs on the RPi begin to blink, and shortly, using your
wifi-capable phone, you'll see a WiFi network named "RPi-JMRI". Select it and enter "rpI-jmri" when prompted for the key (note that 3rd character is a capital "eye").
?
So, I'd suggest, as a test, loading his image to a fresh SD card, and don't make any changes at all.? Don't worry at this stage about shutdown switches or any other changes.? Then, power on the Pi - without connecting a LAN cable.? Give the Pi 30 seconds
to a couple of minutes to start up.? At that point, you should be able to see a WiFi network called RPi-JMRI on your iPad.? If you can see that WiFi network, then connect your iPad to that network, using the password rpI-jmri, then you should be able to use
WiThrottle (once the system is connected to the DCC-EX controller of course).? If that WiFi network doesn't show up, are you certain the WiFi chip on your 3B is functional?
