Electronic parts retail source
This is not JMRI specific, but is more general to the model railroad electronics interest. ?So moderators, please excuse me if it is out of bounds....
I am just sharing information with the group what is a fairly new development. With the recent demise of Radio Shack corporate stores in the USA, there has been a void for a 'I need it now' parts source for capacitors, ICs, resistors, leds, small switches, circuit bread boards, etc. Of course the internet fills the gap if you can wait for shipping delays. Well, I just found out that whomever purchased Radio Shack struck a deal with Hobbytown USA and is rolling out Radio Shack branded small electronics parts into Hobbytown Stores who are willing to buy into the program. Not everyone will likely get on board right away, but it is now becoming an option to get your hands on a part when you need it now.?
I am not plugging this for any personal gain. Just getting the word out. I have a Hobbytown 3 blocks from my house and have become friends with the owners who just told me about it.

Alan, all decoders have railcom enabled, and? I read CVs with no errors. I have the timeout when I write a CV.
No problems on programming track.

Re: All read buttons re greyed out (disabled)
Thanks for the ideas. I just got back from the show and will set up my test track (which is what I was trying to use) tomorrow morning and look that these possibilities. All I was doing was opening the sheets on a particular locomotive and all the read buttons were disabled. I was able to write a value and got the OK at the bottom of that sheet. Don't really know if it took or not.?
I'll be back on tomorrow morning.

Yes, I can.? To do that it is presumably using Railcom. Does the decoder you cannot read have Railcom? I suspect it doesn't. What happens if you try and read it on a programming track?

Hi Tim - I've read that page a couple of times, it sounded promising! I get to the part where the throttle window is supposed to open; but it does not.
Thanks

Re: operations routes and locations
See how i have mine setup. It may help you:
I have one location called "Northeastern yard"
In that location?I have tracks designated as below:
6 classification tracks designated "Classification/Interchange" in the program that allow everything but engines, cabooses, and passenger cars
1 RIP track designated as a "Spur" with a schedule to randomly pull a car that allows everything but engines and passenger cars
1 Caboose track designated as a "Yard" that only allows cabooses
1 Supply track designated "Spur" that only allows Sand and Fuel cars
6 Tracks for the engine terminal designated as "Yard" that only allow engines.
1 Track that is the yard switcher pocket designated "Yard" that only allows engines that are switchers
As this is all one "location" it has never had a problem with assigning engines and cabooses or getting them all in the right place at the end of a run. I also do not designate arrival departure tracks as they vary as needed. I do however have the classification tracks limited to certain trains/routes/locations so when the train comes in at the end of the day the program tells where to put them to be in the right place for the next trains out.?
When my trains come in I pull them into the "arrival/departure" track(s) (which vary as I need them) and I cut the road engine loose and bring it into the terminal. The yard switcher takes over and puts everything else away, but it not mentioned at all in the program. The system still needs some human intervention to sort out the best way to do the actual work. It just tells you what has to end up where, not how to actually accomplish that.
I think you may be overly complicating things on your setup. Try simplifying first and then add more restrictions as you get used to it.

You can read a CV value in POM mode?

It means that IP address has been marked as being used to send lots of spam, so it¡¯s turned off for email purposes. How your email got involved depends on whether that¡¯s actually your IP address, and how you send email. If your Internet Service Provider is cableone.net (from your email address), they¡¯re probably the place to start to get it resolved.

I tested Zimo mx630P16, Lenz Standard+? 10231-01, Esu lokpilot v4 dcc and I have the error with all decoders. Track is connected directly to the "main track output" of the Z21. With every decoder CV is written correctly via POM, but I have the error "Timeout talking to command station (306)".

Are you saying that your locos and cars have moved from where you placed them?? When you build a train, the car's destination changes each time you build a train.? If you think you have a problem, turn on car, loco, & train logging and we'll be able to see when and how a car or loco is moved.? Also turn on "Save Train Manifests" this will help us figure out what's going on.

Re: operations routes and locations
There are numbers in that column. I never clicked ¡®move¡¯ or ¡®terminate train¡¯ which the manual says puts the new locations in the car/engine database . ?? I created test trains to test out how things work. I click on build, then on preview to see what it said the train should do. Then on reset train. ?Change conditions and try again. I never ran a train yet the engine it selected to bring cars to the industrial area has been returned to a new location and my industries are loaded with cars.
There must have some setting thats moving the cars when i click build?
I now have to check my 400 cars and 40 engines locations in the classification and engine yds and reset my databases. ?I would like to avoid this problem in the future when i test the builds i dont want my databases damaged by knowing what settings are necessary to have it work properly.

BTW, in your Cars window, there's a column marked "Moves", if you've never moved or terminated a train, the car move counts should all be zero.

A friend of mine picked up the RailDriver console at Goodwill for
$6...?
Has anyone used one recently?? My CentOS Linux system recognizes
it, and JMRI detects it, but it never launches a throttle window.?
How can I start debugging this?
Thanks

Moreno,
