Erik,

Your CSV file uses semicolon as separator. Try to export the table using TAB as the separator instead.

SteveT,

Is it possible to set a memory using JSON? If so, a panel with memories for address, CV and value could be used to trigger a LogixNG that does POM. There is a LogixNG action that does POM.

POM = Program On Main.

I don’t know enough about the NX process to know where there are hooks for doing extra processing. Perhaps somebody who knows more about that will point out where LogixNG or scripts can be added in?

The script fragment I quoted is actually Jython. That’s a sub-variant of Python that can access JMRI’s internal objects and classes. In many ways it’s a simpler way to add code to JMRI, rather than writing in Java itself.

If there is a way to trigger a script after NX processing is done, you could do something like:

1) NX allocates the blocks, setting them to use their alternate color, with that alternate color being some default e.g. yellow.

2) A script is then started which scans the blocks to find any that are that default color. Those are the ones that are just allocated. It changes the alternate color on those to the color that corresponds to the allocated cab.
(I don’t know how the script would find out which cab was just allocated. Some other setting?)

You’d also have to have a little script that listens to the blocks and determines when they are _de_allocated so that their alternate color could be returned to yellow.

Neither of these are hard to create, except for the part about knowing what color to set and the part about getting them run after NX allocation. I don’t know how to do those two things.

Thanks, Bob.
Another subject on which may rating is novice (at best!) - Java, I used to be somewhat competent with C but last used nearly 20years ago. I assume that setBlockTrackColor is a Java snippet/function/expression/class, again choose your technical term :)
I found the class in setBlockAlternativeColor I've a long way to go before I can understand the running/syntax/use of LogixNG let alone a script yet.
Does that give the ability to set a block's (or blocks') alternate colour(s) on demand?
I've further yet to discover where in the process of an NX route set such a process may run.
It would be desirable (to me!) to minimise the interference/duplication with/of existing JMRI processes.
Maybe on clicking my cab selection button all unallocated blocks (currently displaying their normal colour) would have their alternate colour set to that associated with that cab. Then the NX process runs normally.
Useful to discuss regardless :)

thanks... thought so... kinda hoping they were in there but hidden... I have a nice USB multi tool with assignable buttons and knobs and I was considering how to use it to make control of JMRI easier and a bit slicker.

What, specifically, would you want that multi tool to be able to do?

I don’t know if LogixNG can change the alternate color of a block all by itself.

The alternate color can be changed via a script. Perhaps LogixNG could run a script fragment that would change the color:

block.setBlockTrackColor(java.awt.Color(190, 190, 255))

That’s the color code for light blue, as an example. “block” in the case is a variable that points to the specific Block you want to have the new color.

My layout is DC cab control, servo points, neither occupation sensors nor signals. Windows JMRI + MERG CBUS. Panel editor panel. NX routing to set and show points, routes and block cab allocation.
Early days, layout under construction, JMRI being understood.
On a simple simulated test panel I've been able to set and show points, routes and allocated blocks with NX. I would like also to use this process to allocate and show the (one of five) route control cab. It looks like LogixNG (user level currently novice!) might do this. I might click a one-of-five cab select sensor button group before setting an NX route. This selection is then available during the NX setting process. Is there a way to vary the block alternate colour used to indicate an allocated block during this process, please?
It's nagging at me that I've seen a forum query on exactly this subject but despite quite deep digging and repeated searching I can't find it (or indeed anything). I suspect there is a rune to cast that will unlock my current very limited understanding!

Keyboard Shortcuts for PC and/or Mac for Panel Pro... are there any?

My opinion: JMRI has done a pretty much "thorough" job of _not_ providing what I think would be a "good thing". I believe "nowhere" may be the case! But I generally do not use a bunch of the things that JMRI can do, so I don't know if that is true.

FWIW, it would probably take a BUNCH of code changes to make JMRI have keyboard shortcuts throughout - so many changes that it is not reasonable to try to add them now. I suppose someone could try, but that effort would likely be based on the coder's choices, and probably would not match your preferences...

Sorry for the trouble. I believe this is fixed now. If you have time, could you please try build 2362?
