Re: Racetrack
We've taken a couple steps in that direction. In the most recent download, there's a "Speedometer" tool that Roger Gleason and I have been working on. Given some LocoNet-readable sensors (e.g. block occupancy detector, a button you push or whatever), you specify how far apart they are in scale feet, and then it starts reporting the scale MPH whenever it sees activity. It seems to work OK, with acceptable accuracy as long as you're timing over a few seconds of travel (e.g. not too short a distance). It would require a little work to hook that code into the programming part. I'd be happy to help somebody do it, but don't really have the opportunity to spend time on it right now. It will require some thought to figure out what values go where, etc. If I set up the basics, e.g. an example that would load one CV with a value, perhaps somebody else would be willing to handle the rest of the details?

Re: Compilling and running JMRI
I downloaded a copy of JBuilder Personal Edition 7 to my son's PC last night, and have been working with it (I can only get to that machine while he's asleep, unfortunately).
The Personal Edition has a couple of limitations that I didn't know about. I think I understand some of them now, though there's still one that needs a workaround. I've also updated the page on compiling with some instructions on how to get and use CVS. _Please_ do that; this method of passing .zip files, etc, is just not reliable enough to be worth the time. So the steps I recommend are: Install CVS - for links, etc please see Check out a copy of the "jbuilder" module: create a "project folder" do the checkout (see the instructions at the link above) start jbuilder with the jmri.jpx file in the java folder you just created. There's one remaining problem, that I hope Alex or somebody can resolve. The personal version of JBuilder apparently gets confused if you have multiple programs to build. So you have to tell it which one to run: Using the file/folder tree at the upper left, navigate apps -> DecoderPro -> DecoderPro.java (or which ever app you want to run, e.g. JMRIdemo.java, LocoTools.java) Double click that file; it will open to the right. Right-click on the "DecoderPro" tab at the top of the right window. (Click would select this, right-click or control-click brings up a menu) From the pop-up menu, select "Run". This tells it that you want to build & run _that_ program, which it then does. All of the above works for me now. Hopefully it will work for you, and we can resolve the need for that last "click-click-right-click" workaround shortly.

Re: DecoderPro / Digitrax DN146A decoder

All-Have you got the 1.0.3 version of the program? It seems to show FX functions for the outputs of a DN146 decoder. They're on the "Lights" pane. Note that you've got to be using the "Comprehensive" programmer format to see these; the "Basic" one is too basic... To get it to recognize 105, edit that in as the "lowVersion" in the "decoderIndex.xml" file on the line for the DN146. It's only 106 now, as nobody had even mentioned seeing a 105 there. I've changed the file in CVS so this will work for everybody starting with the next release. And thanks for the version info. Bob Blackwell is trying to get a comprehensive set of that info so we can make the id process reliable. Bob -- -------------- Bob Jacobsen (Bob_Jacobsen@..., 510-486-7355, fax 510-495-2957) |

Ok i got rid of the other 3 errors and am now down to these 2Sorry, but this is not progress. The error is because you're not picking up the classes in "collections.jar", which should be in the "lib" directory one level above the "java" directory. By changing that name, you're using a _different_ class from the Java distribution. It won't interoperate with the serial libraries. the lines in question look as follows"log4j" is the name of the package containing the "Category" class. Actually, the complete name of the package is "org.apache.log4j". Those are defined in the "log4j.jar" file in the "lib" directory, which has to be located by the compiler. That's the same problem we're trying to resolve, so hopefully these will all clean up at the same time once we get that. "log" is a variable that's defined at the bottom of the file. But the _type_ of that variable, e.g. the class info needed by the compiler, has to come from the class definition in a jar file. i don't see where log4j has been previously declairedThe "JMRILibraries.library" file is text, and points to the location of the .jar file that JBuilder will use during compilation. It should contain lines like: <path>[../lib/log4j.jar]</path> which say that the library "one directory up and then in the lib folder" is needed. So please check that there's a C:\jn1.0.3\lib directory, and that it contains 7 .jar files, a README file (not needed) and a "security.policy" file (only needed at runtime) Bob -- -------------- Bob Jacobsen (Bob_Jacobsen@..., 510-486-7355, fax 510-495-2957) |
