Re: C/MRI 72-Input node: how to configure in JMRI?
#cmri
After some searching I discovered that a SUSIC can be configured for 24 or 32 bits, and selectable IO. I then made a SUSIC node 24 bit, with three cards being defined as inputs. In the resulting summary I now see a SUSIC with 0 out bits and 72 in bits.
1. Is that a correct approach for my situation (per the program shown in my OP and with a card having 72 inputs?
2. how do I address these inputs if the node address = 1? Is that 1001 for the first input and 1072 for the last input? |

Re: Edit dialog boxes do not open with full width
Vince, For future reference, use the "Copy to clipboard" button to get the system console text. ?Screenshots don't zoom well and the text cannot be copied. Since you are running a Mac Studio, that means you have an external monitor. ?What is it? ?Also, go to "Help -> Context". ?Use the "Copy to clipboard" button and paste the content. ?That should tell us what the display looks like to Java. Make note of the "storage identify" line. ?The user-interface.xml file is located within that directory which is in the profile directory at the user files location. ?That file contains a number of GUI settings, including window location and sizes. ?

C/MRI 72-Input node: how to configure in JMRI?
#cmri
I have this board with 72 inputs, how to configure this node in JMRI?
An Smini is standard 24IN/48OUT, yet how to modify this to 72IN?
?
This is my code used for the board:
?
#include <Auto485.h> #include <CMRI.h> #include <SPI.h> #define CMRI_ADDR 5 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? // select the CMRI node address #define DE_PIN 2 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?// Arduino pin 2 -> MAX485 DE and RE pins // #define NOP __asm__ __volatile__("nop") ? // macro for the "nop" assembly instruction #define NOP __asm__ __volatile__ ("nop\n\t") // https://forum.arduino.cc/t/very-short-delays/43445/5 // pin 74HC165 const byte LATCH_165 = 9; // LATCH Auto485 bus(DE_PIN); ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?// RS485 bus transceiver CMRI cmri(CMRI_ADDR, 72, 0, bus); ? ? ? ? // sets up an SMINI with address 5, SMINI = 72 inputs, 0 outputs uint8_t input_state[9]; void setup() { ? Serial.begin(9600); ? delay(10); ? Serial.println("DCCpp_CMRI_nopxor75-in_v3.ino"); ? delay(1000); ? bus.begin(57600, SERIAL_8N2); ? ? ? ? ? // open the RS485 bus at 57600bps ? SPI.begin (); ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? // serial data protocol used to control 74HC165 ? pinMode(LATCH_165, OUTPUT); ? digitalWrite (LATCH_165, HIGH); } void loop() { ? // 1: update inputs ? digitalWrite (LATCH_165, LOW); ? ? ? ? ?// pulse the parallel load latch ? NOP; ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?// use the macro instead of inline assembly ? NOP; ? digitalWrite (LATCH_165, HIGH); ? uint8_t new_input_state[9]; ? for (int i = 0; i < 9; i++) { ? ? new_input_state[i] = ~(SPI.transfer(0)); ? } ? bool updated = false; ? for (int i = 0; i < 9; i++) { ? ? if (new_input_state[i] != input_state[i]) { ? ? ? cmri.set_byte(i, new_input_state[i]); ? ? ? input_state[i] = new_input_state[i]; ? ? ? updated = true; ? ? } ? } ? // 2: main processing node of cmri library ? if (updated) { ? ? cmri.process(); ? } } |

Starting with JMRI sensor reading and signal output: help request
JMRI version 5.10
Java version 11.0.17
PC: Windows 10 pro
Background:
1. I am familiar with Decoder Pro (using it to program my DCC++ loco decoders). I am have access to functioning RS485-to-USB converter, C/MRI Smini node
2. I have working block detection (current transormer-based), C/MRI I/O card (SMini)
Question:
1. where to find tutorials on using, adding and editing JMRI functionality for C/MRI connected sensors?
2. where to find tutorials on using LogixNG for driving output signals, based on sensor inputs?
?
Several years ago I had managed to get sensors to be read over my C/MRI nodes, and do some very basic experimentation with LogixNG. But now I am starting in earnest with builing a new layout and I would like to be prepared for instllation of proper sensor, signals and turnouts wiring.

Re: Edit dialog boxes do not open with full width
Vince, How did you transfer the JMRI data from the previous system? ?What was the previous system? ?Hardware, OS, JMRI version, etc. Are there any errors in the system console (Help -> System Console)? Go to "Help -> Context", click on the "Copy to clipboard" button and paste into a reply.
