DecoderPro print problems
Still not getting any help here or on the "other" JMRI site. How can I enlarge the font when printing out copies of my loco CV pages? Mine all print so small you need a magnifying glass to read it?? ANYBODY/// Changing font size in preferences doesn't work on these pages. I am not a programmer/coder, just a happy user of DecoderPro. It seems to me as I read answers to other problems I need simplified help as most answers I read here are way above my understanding of the JMRI stuff.\
At one time way back in an early 3. something vrsion of DecoderPro I could get really nice printed pages of the summary with all the CV's and or functions,etc, printed out for each of my locos. They save just fine and when called up they look great, but I normally print them out and keep them in a binder for ready reference. I have tried pasting into WORD but by the time you blow them up to a size to read they pixelate so bad they are all fuzzy. Is there a simple line of code somewhere that controls the font size for these pages/reports? As I noted above, Display/Fonts under Preferences has no effect when printing these pages. Yes they show big on the computer screen but just ant tracks when printing. Thanks again to anyone here who knows the secret for fixing this, I know it doesn't seem as important as all the issues I read about the other postions of JMRI/DecoderPro but for me, a simple user it is a real hassle. You folks here seem to be the goto people for this so I'm hoping someone has a moment to get me on the right track. Sincerely, Rick Bell katmedia@live .com hopefully Yahoo won't strip out my email address...... |

Re: Advertising WiThrottle v2.0 on: pending
UPDATE: I have done some experimentation and have discovered the following:
WiThrottle works only when my iMac is connected to the internet (using Ethernet, of course, because the WiFi facility is occupied with creating a WiFi network for the WiThrottle to use). Why am I seeing this behaviour? What is the suitable workaround? Here is my situation: my iMac is located in my Studio at the back of my house, whereas my layout is in my living room, more than 20 feet away and my Ethernet does not reach that far. How do I use WiThrottle when I move my iMac to my living room so it is beside my layout? Christopher Winnipeg, Canada |

Odd problems with latest test version 4.9.1 Windows 10
I loaded the latest test to see whether the XML parse was fixed, but got an error still - I've been in and replaced odd <comment/> fields with <comment><.comment> which worked - but then I got a parse error for <metric>. Remocing these also passed. But this is the strange thing, I had played with path metrics by right clicking on a block and then using Edit, then Create/Edit to access the block fields, where there is a tab for Routing, where a metric value was entered to try different things. However, as this caused a problem, I looked in the Block table and could see no tab for entering this data that way. Are metrics still implemented or has something been missed, or am I missing something?!
Also, NX routing seems a bit broken - before if a route could not be set, you (if option selected) were prompted to stack the route (a bit flaky at times though), Now, the turnouts get changed even before offering to stack or whatever, meaning that routes are set regardless of any situation, including block occupancy, which is very bad and a particularly silly bug! In addition... I had noted previously that the NX routing data displayed from Layout Editor, Tools, Entry Exit option disappears on restarts. This seems to indicated all your previous hard work getting NX sensors to do the right thing simply vanishes into thin air... but they still seem to work (sic!) even though nothing is displayed. This is not helpful at all, and I cannot fathom why this is the way it is. Auto-creating NX entries generates a lot of false entries that are logically impossible so many have to be deleted. The Double Crossover seems to allow path logic that means a train goes through an acute angle to get aound the point to come back the way to the place its just come from when deployed on a double track main line! I can find nothing that allows path corrections, and even fixing NX senors as best I can, neither routes, signal mast pairs or anything else seems to mitigate against NX believing theres a way through these that is surely physically wrong, and therefore logically silly, for the type of track it is. Looking at the XML I am conused by the path data I see (or rther don't), but cannot find any explanation as to how to resolve these issues either in help or by searching. A simple explanation somewhere of todir and fromdir numeric values would be useful maybe? I'm happy to edit the XML if needed..... just no idea as to how to start with this issue. I feel I cannot be the only person seeing this.... so I must be in error. Help please! Thanks! John |

JMRI locks up
I don't know if anyone has run across this. After I upgraded to latest Windows 10 version DecoderPro locked up. I'm using the program for programming only and the computer is connected to a SPROG III. When start the program the roster comes up and I can select a locomotive to program and go through all the tabs. When I select a tab I can change the setting but when I click write to sheet nothing happens and the only way I can get out of the program is through the Task Manager. The latest version of JMRI and Java is installed.
Before you ask me to do some programming checks I'll have to tell that I'm not a programmer and you would have to guide me step by step. I have checked computer, a HP laptop, and found several old versions of JAVA which I can't uninstall because of missing JRE files associated with those old programs. My guess is that the old JAVA updates may cause the problem. Any help would be appreciated, Al Babinsky Sent from my Verizon HTC Smartphone |

Re: Locobuffer locking up from data overload?
Steve,
If it is going to be a problem defining the Loconet commands for each aspect using existing JMRI signal heads, you can define them in CATS designer and CATS will create JMRI signal heads when you load your CATS panel. You will need to know what Loconet "addresses" are required for each signal head aspect. Page 7 of the SE8C instruction book has the mapping for board ID 1 and page 8 summarizes the mappings for board IDs 1 thru 12. The way of looking at an SE8C is not as 8 signal heads, but as 32 "lights", spread across 8 "zones". Any "light" can be selected with a Loconet address and a throw or close selection, all done through a JMRI LT turnout. So, if you wired your signals as described in the Digitrax SE8C manual, then the "green" is turned on in the designer Signal Head Definitions window, green sub-pane, by selecting Decoder = LT, Address = the address for the board ID and zone number, check Close. Red is turned on by the same Decoder and Address fields, but checking Throw. Yellow is the same Decoder information, but the address is the green address + 1, and checking Throw. Flashing red is the yellow address, but checking Close. Do not check Off Command (the SE8C automatically turns off a color when a new one is selected) and do not check Software Flashing (the Se8C will handle the flashing). Rodney __________________________________________________________________________________________ Steve, I don't think that it will be easy with existing JMRI signal head "type" definitions. The SE8c uses an odd encoding of two turnout addresses and both states of each turnout. It uses a "last turnout command" determines the output state. JMRI's SE8c signal head type understands this behavior. Other JMRI signal types may or may not be able to handle this type of operation. One that seems promising is the LDT LS-DEC signal head type. With this signal head type, you may define a unique specific turnout and its state for each of the possible color/flashing/dark possibility. If one defines "bogus" turnouts, such as "internal" turnouts, for those aspects which are not reachable on a given SE8c, then one might "get lucky". One would also need to define a custom "JMRI signaling system" that matches the available aspects. (For the "bogus" turnouts, I would recommend a unique "internal" turnout+state for each "unwanted" aspect, so that a wayward change on one signal head does not confuse other signal heads.) None of the other JMRI "signal head type"s seem to come close to the requirements of the SE8c board. If this JMRI "signal head type" cannot fit the bill, then it will be necessary to code up a new signal head type to support the SE8c in "fourth aspect is flashing red" mode. A new JMRI "signal head type" would be the "ideal" way, especially if the code would strictly limit use to "JMRI signal systems" which did not include any "dark" or "flashing green" or "flashing yellow" aspects.

Re: JRMI 4.6 failure to recognize an Atlas dual mode decoder
Hi Michael,
If every read returns 123, you will find you are not using the hardware. Instead, you're accessing the simulator. You need to check your defaults! (Please don't ask me how I know) Wouter On 28 July 2017 at 21:51, michael97303@... [jmriusers] < jmriusers@...> wrote:

Re: Trouble with Virtual Signals
I'm sorry if my latest question wasn't clear. I appreciate the advice regarding layout panels and the like, but my question is about Signal Heads and having icons and Simple Signal Logic stay with the signal head.
I think I found a solution to part of my problem. In the Tools menu there is a item for Simple Signal Logic. It seems that this is where you would create the logic that sticks with the signal head regardless where you place it or how many times it gets used. This is exactly what I was looking for! The second part of my question is regarding icons. Is there is a way to have the icons stick with the signal head so that each time I select it onto a panel I don't need to change all eight of the icons? That would be a huge time saver! Thanks! |
