Re: DCS240 JMRI
My programing track is less than 3ft away. We upgrade from a dcs 200. But we also have 5 sections each control 30 ft at max. My DCS240 is the main and controls antennas, programing track, and a 2 track main roughly 8ft long.

Re: DCS240 JMRI
I get that error when the PR3 is in the wrong mode on my home set up with a DCS200.
Our club uses the 240 just for running the layout so we haven't run in to this with it. So not sure how to change modes like I can with a stand alone PR3.

Re: Importing Layout Scematic from Anyrail
Ray,
I believe AnyRail lets you export a layout to an image file (JPG, PNG?). If so, then the easiest thing to do would be to place that image onto your panel as an icon. I've built schmatics of my layout in Microsoft PowerPoint. Then exported as a .PNG file and placed it on my panel as an icon. There's a picture of my CTC Panel in the folder Bob Z CTC Panel. Bob Z |

The AnyRail process is a bit rough still. If you get any Really Obscure Errors, please 1) post the file so we can track those down and 2) Panels -> Run Script, select the TurnOffXmlValidation.py script, and run it; then try your XML file again.

Not so much that the entries get changed but how they affect the program can have changed.
As an former remote support computer maintenance person this is the first time I have had a user with a problem refuse to give information when asked for it. I have not responded after the refusal and do not plan on doing so. I will keep monitoring this thread, hoping for a change in attitude. Walt |

Re: Importing Layout Scematic from Anyrail
Ray,
This may be a problem, unless "Anyrail" produces an XML file that is compliant with JMRI's format. If "Anyrail" does provide an acceptable format, they you should be able to open it as a "panel file" under JMRI. If not, then JMRI will just give an error and/or fail to load the panel. I do not have any experience with "Anyrail", so cannot confirm or deny that this will work. If you run JMRI DecoderPro3, you need to have a "Panel Pro" window open. Select the "File" pulldown menu. Select "Open PanelPro Window". In JMRI PanelPro, select the "Panels" pulldown menu. Select "Open Panels". Choose the XML file you saved from "Anyrail". If it loads and creates a panel, great. Elsewise, look for a different solution. Once you get your design loaded, you can modify it within JMRI and save it in JMRI's native panel format. Then go forward using JMRI's saved panel, instead of the "Anyrail" file. If this doesn't work, then perhaps someone on this list has direct experience and can has different direction to offer... Regards, Billybob |

Having trouble starting DP with Sprog2v3
I have recently purchased a new computer, an iMAC running OS X 10.12.6. I plugged in my Sprog2v3 to the USB port (via a hub). According to the "about this Mac" screen, the computer sees the SPROG. I have also updated Java to the newest version. However, when I start Decoder Pro I get an error message that the program could not find the port. I am mystified as on my old MAC everything worked fine. That computer self-destructed and I lost whatever Decoder Pro files might have been on it. Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Tom Here is the error message: Unable to create connection "SPROG Programmer" (S). Serial port (none selected) not found.Serial port (none selected) not found. System connection SPROG Programmer provides a null manager for interface jmri.ThrottleManager Unable to run startup actions due to earlier failures. |
