The DecoderPro installer is just under 2MB. Bob -- -------------- Bob Jacobsen (Bob_Jacobsen@..., 510-486-7355, fax 510-495-2957) |

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) |
