JMRI running, loading and saving extremely slow. I was hoping I'd like this
program, and in some ways I do, but I've upgraded to windows (7) from my
old XP machine, and JMRI continues to run slower than my Commodore 64!

Are you saying you upgraded the Windows on a machine that was running XP to Win7, or is it a replacement machine that is running Win7?

If you upgraded the OS on a machine running XP then you probably need a heap more memory just to run at the same speed as it did under XP.

Hi Roberto

As you say you can't click anything on the crossing to change the polarity of the crossing vees but you obviously have points that choose which route will be taken through the crossing. A bit of logix applied to the turnouts driving the various points leading to the diamond should be able to drive another turnout that can switch a relay to apply the correct polarity to the crossing vees. If you can't see how to do that then you will need to upload a diagram of your layout to the "problems being worked on" folder in the files section so that we can see what connects to what around the diamond.

Thanks got it working and added the file to start up.

Well, I could not find a JMRI.conf so I asked Randall and he pointed me to the template file.
Since all it contains is comments, I was doubtful this was going to work. What I had done was take the default statement, put it into an empty file, call it JMRI.conf and then clicked on one of the program icons on my desktop. Nothing. So I tried it again, expecting to tell Randall that it didn't work.
So I left it and when I came back to my PC, the program had opened up.
This was on the PC that works.
I took the config file, put it on the PC that didn't work, opened up SoundPRO. SoundPro opened up right away, but when I clicked on one of the sound options, nothing - program hung again.....
Well, not exactly. I left it for a while and when I came back, it had opened the audio table. But I am going to delete the .conf file on my PC that works, because it really slows down the startup.
UPDATE: it took almost an hour for SoundPro to come up this evening....

Steve,
How much traffic is on your system? Usually folks with big systems see this when they first start up, due to a flood of traffic when JMRI initially request the layout status. Also check using the 'Monitor LocoNet Stats..' option to see if the unit is accumulating errors before this happens.

Which version of LocoBuffer-USB do you have?

Dick :)

I'm using CATS to dispatch my layout and I'm running WiThrottle all using JMRI running on a Windows 10 PC (64 bit i7 processor 8 GB RAM). Some time (maybe an hour or two) into an op session, the red light on the locobuffer which flashes to indicate loconet activity will lock on solid red, at which point the locobuffer no longer functions (commands from JMRI to the layout, to clear signals, throw turnouts, etc. no longer have any effect).


The only fix seems to be to unplug the USB, which also causes JMRI to shut down. I plug the USB back in to the locobuffer and re-start JMRI and everything works again, typically for the remainder of the operating session. But it is very disruptive to the session when this happens.


Has anyone experienced this? Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions?


Thank you,


Steve

Sam,

What are the specs of the machine you're running JMRI on? CPU model, amount of RAM, HDD details, etc.

Also, what's running in the background? Have you used Task Monitor to see whats using the machine's resources?

I've run JMRI on several different Win7 machines and it performed well on all of them, but again they all had sufficient hardware resources available and not a lot of junk running in the background..

Help!

JMRI 4.9.1 (sometime soon) will make the text area accessible, so that somebody could write this script if they’d like to.

That’s an interesting idea!

A script could do this. It would have to be system-specific, as traffic takes different forms for different systems. Perhaps somebody with more experience with the JMRI XpressNet code could write a sample.

Another approach would be to vampire off a Monitor window. A script could watch the text area in the window for changes, and set the Sensor active and inactive as desired. That would be a bit complicated now, but I’ll add some member functions to make that easier sometime in the next couple days.

I find it use full when using a panel that does not seem to be doing anything to glance at the XpressNet traffic to inevitably discover a lot is actually going on! (And then wait for stuff to quieten down). It would be neat though to have a sensor which came on when it is busy but can not work out how to do that.


Any ideas please?

Not surprising the DCS240 would be "unstable" when powered by AC, when the product's Web page, specification sheet and manual all say that the DCS240 requires DC power only.

When powered by A.C., the 240 is a bit unstable. Though it "works", the
power must be DC.

We actually had to retire the 240 and go back to the 200 it was so bad.

Hello Walter:


I am not sure what you are talking about but, I will print this at the club when I go there next and see if our DCC person understands and can help.

H Rossi,


I would like to start of by saying thank you for the information. In regards to whether our system would read the CV's, I understand what you are saying, but I don't do or understand how to do it. However, the owner of the engine did originally program it on a track using his hand held throttle, so I am sure the Digitrax system is reading it just fine.


We have a separate programming track that is directly attached to the computer. Using the older JRMI program we were using was able to read and write this chip as I programmed this engine myself and saved its' information into the old data base. Our only change has been that I updated the computer's operating system and then I updated to the current JRMI program. Prior to my doing what I did with the engine with the new JRMI system, the engine ran just fine on our layout.


Not sure what to do next.


Michael

Hi Randy.
There are indeed two instances of the jogamp file to be killed.
I made a batch file to kill both of them in one click.
Just copy the following lines in the text editor and rename the file for
example "kill.bat" and use it to resuscitate JMRI when it hangs at the
startup.

-----------------------------------
taskkill /f /fi "IMAGENAME eq jogamp*" /im jogamp*
timeout /T 3
taskkill /f /fi "IMAGENAME eq jogamp*" /im jogamp*
-------------------------------------

This workaround I developed was the only thing that have been working for
me. Now it seems the problem is fixed in the JMRI new version so I don't
need it anymore, but I see that it can randomly affect other users.

Regards

Roberto

I have unsuccessfully tried all the suggested fixes to date in this thread
on my Win10/64 Lenovo T530 laptop with RealTek High Definition Audio and
the test release 4.7.8.

Ending the jogamp_exe_tst* process in the task manager once JMRI locks up,
then the second one that pops up right away continues to work around the
problem.

Hello everybody.
I recently added a diy 60° diamond crossing to my layout.The two frogs are isolated from the rest of the rails to avoid short circuit and need to be fed independently. Depending on the route (bottom left to to top right, or bottom right to top left), I have to switch polarity
Case 1
&#92; &#92; / /
- +
/ / &#92; &#92;
Case 2
&#92; &#92; / /
+ -
/ / &#92; &#92;

I can do this with a servo below the table that operates simultaneously two switches like it was a turnout (all my turnouts motors are DIY, with a few of them with electrofrog, and all work well with JMRI) and change the diamonds polarity.
The problem I'm facing is: how do I represent the crossing in the layout editor? The crossing icon is not clickable like the turnouts showing the selected routing, so I was thinking about putting a sensor custom icon and assign an action to the sensor to operate the servo. Is this the way to go or am I overcomplicating?
Thanks in advance.

Roberto

After you add your turnouts you have to save them. Under the file tab there are save options I think they are save configurations and save panels and configuration. I save them and overwrite my .xml file each time.

Walt,



When a moderator looks at the member listing he can see which email is being
used and if it has been associated to a Yahoo account. No associated
account, no web access (files, photos, etc).



Issue is a number of other accounts used to be valid instead of the Yahoo
account (Verizon.net for example) and that linkage between companies is now
officially broken and no longer valid.



A user would have to get a valid Yahoo account and then use the membership
tool to find groups using their email address. It will then do some tricks
(like sending confirmation email) to see if you are really in control of
that email account. If so, it makes the link and everything is back to
normal.



I learned this by moderating a few other groups.

OK,


So I was programing on my isolated track using a Digitrax 240. While I was
programing another loco, using my hand held throttle 402, I took a loco out
of a consist....Since then I keep getting error code 302......How do I
clear this out???


Thanks,

Thanks Walt. Was succesful.
