Ya, but if they accidentally let it go while moving over the switch it's
going to return to whatever position the DS had it set to originally... Can
you say "break out the Dixie cups!"????

I would add if you can locate spring loaded dpdt switch, the local crew can
hold the switch in the "Hand" position while they operate the toggle for the
switch motor. When they are done, releasing the spring loaded switch will
return the control to JMRI automatically. Dispatcher then has control again
without relying on the crew to return control. Cheers!

Put a second DPDT toggle in. The 2 center pins to the switch motor. Top pair
to JMRI connection. Bottom pair to local control toggle. Label above
selector as follows: Above "HAND" Below "POWER".
Now the DS can give your crews permission to take switch on hand! Just
remember to remind them that they need to tell the DS when they are
returning control of the switch back to him!!! It DOES tend to annoy
dispatchers when they can't throw a controlled switch and the local crew is
now several miles on down the line and there's mobody around to restore the
switch to the power position! <G>

Another option: (expensive, but cool!)
A key operated switch that holds the key when it's turned from it's normal position. The local crew is issued a switch key and has to keep it with them. Now, when they forget their switch lock key, the have to sit without moving the train for the amount of time it would take for the brakeman to walk to the last place he used it and back to the head end of the train... 5 miles out and back, easily a two to 2.5 hour delay! <evil laughter ensues>

What he said¡ ;-)
(I was typing up a rather verbose answer when his posted¡ and said pretty much exactly what I was typing... just somewhat more succinctly... ;-)
Basically the MotorMan (and WatchMan) inputs can be configured to output a SSB(/LocoNet) command to close/throw a turnout. If a MotorMan on that same SSB(/LocoNet) is configured to respond to that command then it will close/throw the turnout associated with that command. (The WatchMan sending the command and the WatchMan that responds to that command can be the same WatchMan.)

For local control of switches I have installed panels locally with a toggle switch, a key switch that captures the key until returned to normal and an LED for indication that it is in hand not machine.
If the crew leaves without the key and it is on hand they likely will recognize that and retrieve the key thereby returning to machine control. As Mr. Duncan knows you don't want to upset the DS.
Mouser sells several key switches. Www.mouser.com you may want to consider this option.
I'm using with C/MRI but can be adapted to JMRI.

Re: Test version 4.9.2 of JMRI/DecoderPro is available for download
FYI Nelson, when writing to an ESU decoder, there are over 1500 CVs to write,
that does take some time. I also use the SPROG, when writing or reading with the
SPROG, I just go do something else, like get supper ready or cut the lawn.

JZ,
I think you mean MotorMan, not SignalMan.
Untested theory follows:
1) The MotorMan has an eight port Input/Output socket. Essentially half of a TowerMan.
2) The DPDT is replaced by a SPST (or wired to behave as one).
3) The I/O socket is configured as Input and to send a switch request.
4) A motor output entry is configured to listen for that switch request.
5) When it the SPST is changed, the switch request drives the Tortoise.
Notes:
1) Once a xxxxMan board is configured, it listens for and responds to events on the SSB bus and the LocoNet by way of the SSB-Gateway.
2) When JMRI is running, JMRI might not know the turnout position if someone uses the toggle switch.

Re: Test version 4.9.2 of JMRI/DecoderPro is available for download
Nelson,
Regarding reading of ESU decoders being way too slow, that is a result of their complexity. When writing a sound file to an ESU with their own LokProgrammer hardware, it takes 30 minutes or so. Just a lot there to deal with.

Terry,
One of the reasons that the uninstall and clear out the program directory
may be needed now and then is that the many upgrades may miss deleting some
of the old parts for one reason or another. So the software will work with
'add on' packages like CATS, when it runs it loads what it finds. If
something had been left around over time, it could get loaded and interfere
with the newer correct parts.
At this point your descriptions and logs show the LocoBuffer is our major
suspect. Here is a clip from the manual about testing the LocoBuffer. Give
it a try and see if that helps to confirm it working or not.
6.1 Sanity Test
To perform a very basic LocoBuffer-USB sanity test perform the following
steps:
1. Unplug the LocoNetR cable. Disable the internal LocoNet terminator if
enabled. (remove any internal jumper at "Term")
2. Power up the LocoBuffer-USB by plugging it into the computer.
3. The lower green power LED should come on.
4. Plug in the LocoNetR cable. The upper green power LED should light.
5. Unplug the LocoNetR cable. The red activity light should blink briefly as
the cable is removed.
6. Restore the termination jumper to its original position if used.
If the lower green power LED does not light, be sure that the USB drivers
have been properly installed. The LocoBuffer-USB does not power up
until the drivers have properly enumerated. (installed and started up)
If the Rail Sync upper power LED does not light, or if the activity LED
does not blink when you unplug the LocoNetR cable, be sure that your
DCC command station is powered up, then check your LocoNetR wiring.
To further test the LocoBuffer-USB you may also perform the following
Loop Back test.
6.2 Loop Back Test
The LocoBuffer-USB input circuit and code actually reads from the unit's
LocoNetR output jack, so if you send a character it should be seen on the
input This test uses the free software available from the JMRI project to
watch the test commands. (www.jmri.org)
Steps:
1. Open the JMRI LocoNetR Monitor window.
2. Using a throttle send a speed change to a locomotive.
3. The set speed commands should appear in the LocoNetR monitor
window and the LocoBuffer-II activity LED should blink
4. Using JMRI send some commands (e.g. switch commands)
5. The commands should appear in the LocoNetR monitor window and the
LocoBuffer-II activity LED should blink
If there is no activity light when throttle commands are sent, check the
LocoNetR wiring. If there is no activity shown in the LocoNetR monitor
window, check that you have LocoBuffer-USB selected in the JMRI
preferences, or that you have LocoBuffer selected and are running at
57.6Kb. Check that you have the correct COM port selected.
Emailing RR-CirKits may be helpful and Dick and Karen are good with

Hi Michael,
Where are you seeing that EngineDriver is limited to 3 engines on a single train? That needs to be corrected. EngineDriver can have up to three separate throttles, each of which can have any number of engines assigned.
As for the steal, if you request an address via EngineDriver that is already in use, the user is prompted to Steal? that address. This works fine for individual addresses between phones. I do not have any Digitrax throttles, so I can't test your scenario.
Do you know if your procedure with the Digitrax throttle is creating what Digitrax calls a "Universal" (command-station-stored) consist or an "Advanced" (decoder-stored) consist?

Plugging in to either of the ports caused all the LEDs to turn on, but only one of the two ports was giving me a Loconet signal. The cables can certainly wear out over time.

A question from a newbie:
Is it possible to have LocoNet throttles on a standalone LocoNet connected to jmri via a Locobuffer,

While it is possible for JMRI to bridge throttles from one system to another, to make this work on a Loconet system, you have to be able to read the slot associated with the throttle. No command station means there are no slots to read. Paul

Subject: RE: [jmriusers] Slot monitor is blank
Terry,
My idea was finding anything in JMRI that talks to the layout that worked.
So far it is sounding like the real issue may be a problem in the
LocoBuffer. One thing about the LocoNet Stats, if the wrong flavor of
LocoBuffer is picked in the config, it won't display right.
Asking about the JMRI throttle was an example of something that would talk
to the LocoBuffer as more proof the layout connection is working or not. It
sounds like the programming mode isn't working, or do you have some
locos/decoders that you can read and write from JMRI??
I'd ask about the lights on the LB, but that would require knowing exactly
which LB you have and there are enough slightly different ones, I'd not be
the right person for that. If you feel you have reason to suspect the
LocoBuffer, and it came from RR-CirKits, call them and they can step you
through a couple of tests to know if it working or not.
