Hi,
George Warner and I have been testing the rotate capability in JMRI Layout Editor and have discovered that the rotation to anything from the default of zero degrees looks okay on his mac but is pixilated and fuzzy on my Windows 10 PC.
George was kind enough to go in and do some adjustment which should have made it better but when 4.7.7 came out (in which his fix was included), it showed no improvement on the PC.
He suggested that it may be that java is using a non-True Type font and this is causing the problem. I went looking through all of the Panel Pro sets and the Layout Editor settings and could not find any way to point to a different font family.

Could someone tell me how this could be done or is this going to require a change and compile of JMRI. It seems it should be a menu item just like picking the font size

JMRI Users Group,


I am fairly new to JMRI. 听I have set up the roster with my locomotives. 听My system is NCE Power Cab/Pro Cab (NCE SB5). 听JMRI 4.6 is installed on a Lenovo Lap top running Windows 10. 听I am able to program my locomotives (on my Program Track) changing CV's, using the throttle etc., utilitizing JMRI from my computer.
I would like help to do the following:

1. 听Can someone provide me with the connections I need to make between my laptop, SB5 (Power Cab) and my track so I can use JMRI on my layout.听
2. 听I am at the point of wanting to consistsome of the locomotives.听 I am not sure ofthe steps.听听If anyone could provide me withthe steps to take, I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance for any help.

So it's a standalone loconet and the hardware is RR-cirkits TC64's.


I'll give it a go next time I'm at the centre.

Kev,

Short answer? "sort of."

There a couple of options which might achieve what you are trying to do, depending on what hardware you are using.

One option, if your LocoNet is connected to a command station, and that command station is configured to send "interrogation" messages at power-on, you may issue a "track power on" request to LocoNet. Simplest way to do this is via JMRI's "Tools->Power Control" tool. Press the "ON" button.

If you instead are on a standalone loconet (no command station), then you may issue the 8 separate LocoNet messages which the command station issues for "interrogation". This may be done using the "Jython" script "InitLocoNetSensors.py". This script is shipped as part of the standard JMRI distribution.

Some hardware does not pay attention to the "interrogate" messages. Some hardware only pays attention to the "interrogate" messages when those messages are found on the "DCC track" signal. Some hardware has control bits which allow the user to "ignore interrogate messages" or even "ignore the first interrogate messages after power-up". Some command stations may be configured to not propagate switch messages to the "DCC track" signal, or to disable sending the interrogate messages at "GP ON". As such, your mileage may vary.

Normally, a Pull Request gets the milestone added when its merged into the master branch. We build test releases from the master branch, so by merging something onto it, we鈥檙e confirming that PR will be in the next branch, hence milestone.

Right now, the situation is a bit more complicated as we try to stabilize content for the next production release (JMRI 4.8, Real Soon Now). So the situation with milestones is a bit more ad-hoc.

If you鈥檇 like a particular PR to go into a particular release, just make a comment to that effect in the PR itself so we can sort that out. You can also make a comment in the 鈥淐reate Test Release 4.7.8鈥� item () if you think it should go in there.

Sorry to sound a bit officious about this, but I think we鈥檝e learned from experience to be careful with the last bits before a production release. People are trying to get a bunch of stuff in, and hilarity can ensue.

I just tried the new v4.7.7 and have the same result. DP loads, and I see the profile selection window. I select any profile (tried several), and briefly see the roster window. But then, everything goes blank. No errors and no Java services left running. There are also no events logged in the Windows apps or services logs.


I am running a 64 bit Windows 10 Pro workstation with a Xeon CPU and 24gb of RAM. Java is V8, Update 131 (build 1.8.0_131-b11).


Does anyone have any experience with a similar error (or failure for JMRI to load completely?


Thanks,


Richard

Hi everyone.


Hopefully this is an easy question. Is there a way to re-check the state of all sensors on a loconet?


As an example I have a number of switches on a control panel. If I change the state of the sensors using the panel pro sensors table (for test purposes maybe) I'm then left with the situation where JMRI is out of sync with the actual switches. I could get them back int sync by operating the switches, however this particular panel has around 1000 switches and buttons so that's not really an option.


Is there a command that I could use to re-pole all of the loconet addresses so that I can make sure that the switch, Loconet and JMRI are all synchronised.


Thanks


Kev

There was still some remnant of JMRI that was hidden giving me issues. I finally rooted them all out this AM & am doing a reinstall now. Wow what a pain!!
Jay

That's one I'm using too.

Is it possible you're using an older version of the Arduino sketch that
didn't support programming? I installed my Uno/MotorShield about a month
ago, and was able to read/write CVs on the programming track with no
problem.



This is the one I am using:

OK, I have been playing around with DCC++. I ordered some clone boards from
China (Uno and Motor Shield), and they came today. I already had updated
Java and installed JMRI 4.6 on both my old laptop running Lubuntu 14.04 and
my Chromebook running LXDE. I cut the motor trace per DCC++ instructions,
uploaded the sketch, and installed jumpers. The lights come on,and I can run
locos with it using JMRI throttles. The problem, though, is I can't program
anything--the screen says no programming track, no ops mode programming. The
Programming screen seems to be set to edit only. Is this a JMRI issue, or a
DCC++ issue? Also, layout power is OFF when JMRI starts.


There is another thread on DCC++ with some of the same complaints, but it
seems to have veered to other topics...

Are source and destination addresses important or will the listener just pick up any message of that type on the loconet?


Also should the code element always be 5?

There鈥檚 now a bit more discussion on this in the PR:

Michael,



Thanks for your continued improvements to the WOW definitions. It can't be
easy....



I applied the 6/16/17 WOW updates to JMRI v4.7.2-R71b21f. I did a quick
test, and still don't have any control of Steam V4 short or quill whistle
volume.

I can reduce the volume on the long whistle, but oddly, can't increase it
afterward. Write seems to go OK, but no results. Read shows default
settings. Audio Assist is my go-to for this.



Thanks again!

For CATS to turn on and off a signal it needs two pieces of information - how to make the signal light up with the desired color and how to turn it off. You have the "off" part defined. You need to add the "on" part. So define "Flashing Red" as LT 441 Throw - the same as Red.

If all the signals on the SE8C use flashing red, you can configure the fourth aspect in the SE8C for flashing red, but you would lose "off" on all signals driven by the SE8C. Thus, you would give up flashing yellow and approach lighting.

I can't find a CATS users group to send this to, if someone can suggest....

I am converting over from JMRI CTC to CATS. As I write my own software using Jython scripts, I can "get away with anything".

I have a situation whereby a mail line goes into a yard area. I want the SC8C signal there to only display two things: Flashing Red (restricting) or Red, no matter what is beyond. Restricting if NOT occupied, Red if occupied (the yard that is).

I defined a "signal template" for a one head signal so that all aspects are Flashing Red in the "matrix" area, along with Restricting, "Halt" is still Red.

For the signals "details" (signal head definition):
Flashing Red" Decoder "NONE"
Red: LT 441 Throw / Green LT 441 Close, Off: LT442 Close
"Software Flashing" is checked.

When I look at the Loconet messages, I see ONLY the "turn off" (LT442 Closed On/off) commands at 1/2 the flash rate, CATS never send the "turn on the Red Led" command out.

Help!

Listers,

I am running JMRI 4.6 on a Windows PC, working to program Soundtraxx
Economi and Tsunami2 decoders.

I have used the function map to assign the FX5 and FX6 functions to F0, the
headlight command.

However, the only way I can get the lights to turn on are with the check
boxes on the function map page. If I don't check the boxes for the
function from where the lights are mapped, the lights will not turn on or
off using the headlight button. My issue is that I cannot use the dimmer
or even turn the light on or off unless I go into DecoderPro to check or
uncheck those boxes.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
