Thanks. I've uploaded a PDF of the build report -- "Build Report - Upper2Lower" This is the build report for only the train that goes from upper staging to lower staging. At the time it was generated there were 18 cars in upper staging that the program could have picked from, and it chose the same 10 the train arrived with in the previous session.

Larry:

The missing part is the correct drivers for the DCS240 in Raspian Linux.

I don't see a set listed and reading about the macOS install... Installs as a virtual com port...

All the installation instructions of the Digitrax site are for Windows and Mac no Linux of any flavor... See any odd connections in the port list like /dev/ttyACM0 with the 240 connected?

My PR3 (should be the same as the DCS240) is on a PC if I can I'll try with a Pi later... Snowing again... deal with that I must...

I have my rPI connected through a LocoBufferUSB. We recently upgraded to the DCS240. I can still connect using the LocoBuffer, but cannot connect directly through the USB port. Does anyone know the correct settings in JMRI for this? I do not have any peripherals at the layout, only at home.


Thanks,
Larry

What does the build report for the train state? If you need help, post the entire build report and we'll figure out what's happening.

Bob:

More info please... You want to build a table of the head/color for each aspect?

Couple ways for that use existing set like the NS that was suggested or building a new XML file or using Logix and define each head and color.

Reading in West Trenton interlocking used the three head type G "cats face" Top middle three color bottom two color.

So how far into the prototype do you want to go?

Hi
is someone able to give me a step by step sheet how to step up dispatcher from start to finish for a U shaped layout.

Hello my question is how i set up train running from staging to staging when i clic on build the system don’t allow any cars to the train . I sent to run through freight on my layout from staging A to staging B Thank you

Hi Bob,

The Reading 1968 aspects follow closely the NS 2008 rules (with a few differences) that are already in JMRI.


It would only be a few that would need changing, I do have pictures of the aspects and the name/indication too.
By icons do you mean the JMRI icons or just photos like I've mentioned above.


Thanks, Jason.

I think you’re asking how to create a new signal system. There’s some information on that here:



It takes some systematic work, but it’s not that hard if you do it step-by-step.

Is that system similar to one of the ones we’ve already got?



One of the more tedious things is creating a set of icons to display the signal masts, if suitable ones don’t already exist.



(and the various sibdirectories, i.e. smallschematics)

If you’ve got the icons, that might make it more likely that somebody would help with the XML files.

Michael,

I have seen this problem at 4.10. It does not affect all of my profiles and it is somewhat random. I stopped using the startup file loads.

4.11.3 does not seem to have the problem.

Dave Sand

Yes, many actions.

Open file, run scripts, add buttons, etc.


I created a new profile and just put in "open file", the same one that had in the bad profile and it worked. So at least that information loads correctly.


Unfortunately, I can't remember everything that is in the preferences for the bad profile. I can add the other items that I can piece together but still not sure why the profile won't load.


Dave, this is essentially the same profile that we worked on last year.

Hi All,


How do I go about getting the Reading Company - Signal Rules 1968 (I have the operating rules) into a JMRI file to use on my layout panel.


Cheers,


Jas.

I hope you have a Power Cab or SB5 system. If you have a Power Pro system, the NCE USB is unsuitable.

Installing NCE USB on Mac
===================
- Plug the USB side of the NCE USB into your Mac (you do not need to plug it into the PCP to do the next few steps.

- Go to System Report from Apple Menu->About This Mac->More Info.

- Look in the USB section and see if a Silicon Labs device is present. If not you have a USB hardware fault; cable, connector, port or device. That will need resolving before you go any further.

- Download and install SiLabs CP210x drivers from <>.

- Unplug the NCE USB.

- Open a Terminal Window (from /Applications/Utilities), copy and paste the following command in EXACTLY (including spaces and punctuation) then press Enter.

while : ;do clear;ls -lt /dev|head;i=$((i+1));echo $i;sleep 1;done

- This command should show about 10 lines of output and then sit looping, with a counter incrementing every second.

- Plug your device back in and wait a few seconds. Two new items with names like cu.SLAB_USBtoUART and tty.SLAB_USBtoUART should appear in the list. They should disappear if you unplug your device. If this does not happen, you do not have the correct drivers installed for your device and you will need to solve that before proceeding further.

- Once you have found your device, write down the name you see.You want the cu.xxx version not the tty.xxx version.

- If you have got this far you know your device is be being seen by the Mac, that it has a matching driver installed and the name of the connection port "cu.xxx" you need to select in JMRI.

Configuration Instructions
===================

Here are the best settings for JMRI and jumpers for Power Cab (and also SB5).

Make sure you always unplug/replug both cables on the NCE USB after changing jumpers.

It also explains how to read the version of your NCE USB (only the first digit counts, the last three report how your jumpers 2-4 are set and jumper 1 is ignored on all systems).


Power Cab Instructions
=================
The correct settings for a Power Cab V1.65 or V1.28 (as shown when the Power Cab starts up) and an NCE USB V6 (or you are not sure of the USB version) are:
- All USB Jumpers off (or at least 2, 3 & 4. Jumper 1 is ignored).
- JMRI preferences are:
-- System manufacturer: NCE
-- System connection: NCE USB
-- Serial port: <whatever is appropriate for your system>
-- USB version: V6.x.x
-- System: PowerCab
-- Additional Connection Settings checkbox ON
--- Baud rate: 9600.

The JMRI console log should then report V6.3.0. If it reports V7.3.0 and your Power Cab is V1.65, use the settings below instead.
If you don't get a version number or the system does not work, Use Help->System Console...->Copy to clipboard and paste into a post for us to see.

The correct settings for a Power Cab V1.65 or V1.65b and an NCE USB V7 are:
- All USB Jumpers on (or at least 2, 3 & 4. Jumper 1 is ignored).
- JMRI preferences are:
-- System manufacturer: NCE
-- System connection: NCE USB
-- Serial port: <whatever is appropriate for your system>
-- USB version: V7.x.x
-- System: PowerCab
-- Additional Connection Settings checkbox ON
--- Baud rate: 19200.

The JMRI console log should then report V7.3.7.

SB5 Instructions
============
The correct settings for an SB5 and an NCE USB V7 are:
- USB Jumper 4 on. All others off (or at least 2 & 3. Jumper 1 is ignored).
- JMRI preferences are:
-- System manufacturer: NCE
-- System connection: NCE USB
-- Serial port: <whatever is appropriate for your system>
-- USB version: V7.x.x
-- System: SB5
-- Additional Connection Settings checkbox ON
--- Baud rate: 19200.

The JMRI console log should then report V7.3.1.

If the system does not work after this and your USB is V7:
- If your SB5/Power Cab is V1.65 rather than V1.65B, you may have been affected by a firmware issue (triggered by a System Reset).
- Your NCE USB may be set to a bad cab address.
In either case, go through the following :
- Quit JMRI.
- Ensure neither LED on the NCE USB is stuck ON. If so, power cycle the USB by unplugging it from the cab bus cable.
- Ensure you have no other throttles connected.
- Restart JMRI and immediately go to Configure USB Interface under the NCE menu.
- Set the Cab ID to 3.
- Attempt a JMRI operation (use a throttle, Identify a decoder.
- The status line should stay green and it should work
-If this does not work, do not fiddle with any other settings but instead:
-- Observe whether the Cab Bus LED on the NCE USB is stuck on and report back.
-- Use Help->System Console...->Copy to clipboard and paste into a post for us to see.

Again I'm running JMRI v4.10 on Linux Korora 25

I also noticed that every time I reboot I have to re-enter:

chmod 666 /dev/ttyS0

chmod 666 /dev/ttyS1

Which port is the locobuffer attached to? My PR3 shows up
as /dev/ttyACM0, which is how Fedora normally identifies USB serial
devices. If I remember correctly, /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyS1 are the
motherboards RS232 ports. Plug in your locobuffer and then look at the
output of dmesg and 'ls -ltra /dev/' to find out the device name you
need for the connection.

To get around the permissions, add yourself to the dialout group, and
log out and back in again. You could also setup a custom udev rule.

Defaults are set to loco-buffer.

Any more suggestions?

Do you see traffic in the monitor loconet window? Using the Zepher's
throttle will send packets to loconet which JMRI should receive and
display.

Jim

You cold make a new profile that does not start the panel. Then after JMRI has started Open the panel file. That will put more info into the System Console that you could copy and post here. (Its under help on the JMRI start screen) Walt

Michael,

Does the profile have any startup actions, such as “Open File”?

Dave Sand

Thanks Cliff and Joe,


Yes, my problem was that at some revision the "pick background image" button in Panel Editor must have been eliminated and its function moved to the icon list. The documentation just hasn't caught up with the change. I see "background" in the icon list where Cliff described.


Thanks to you both for responding!


Joe

One of my profiles won't load. I am running JMRI 4.10 on a MacBook Air 10.13.3, All of my other profiles load but not my main layout. Not sure what changed, it was working before.


When I try to load my main layout, I just the get the JMRI small logo (F8 to disable Logix). F8 has not effect.


Not sure where to start to fix this problem.


Thanks,
Michael Carney
