Thanks for the reply I was interested in your comment PTB 100. SoundTraxx makes a statement that PTB 100 is not required. when programming. When you speak about Read Changes on Sheet you are speaking about sheets other than the CVS?

You have discovered an error in the double head signal mast definition.

I have uploaded a fixed file that you can use.

/g/jmriusers/files/ProblemsBeingWorkedOn/Miguelay/appearance-two-searchlight.xml

Download the file. Start PanelPro, select "Help >> Locations", click on "Open Program Location”. This will open your file manager at the correct location.

You will need to expand xml, signals and then basic. Replace the existing appearance-two-searchlight.xml file with the downloaded one.

Thanks Nigel and Richard, it was the speed steps which were set wrongly, changing to 128 has solved the problem. Incidentally I changed it from the SPROG Consol.

Win 10 (current updates)
Java 1.8.0_181
PR3
DCS200
PP 4.12,? 4.8 and 4.2.1? (yes I tried all three with the same results.

Trying to move JMRI control from a desktop to to a laptop.
The desktop is running Win 10 Java 1.8.0 and JMRI 4.12 PR3 DCS200

JMRI on the laptop connects to the layout and I can turn power on/off, run engines etc.? So I am pretty sure the connection is ok.
Moved the panel from the desktop to the laptop and ran it under Digitrax, loconet simulator.?
The panel loads and runs correctly. So I assume the panel migrated correctly.

Connect to the layout and attempt to load the panel.??
"WARNING could not open/create prefs at root....error code 5."
"Could not create sensor xxx"
Then repeats for all sensors.

I'm suspecting some sort of WIN 10 error but not sure where to look/fix.
Thanks in advance for any ideas/guidance

What Nigel said, me to.

Hover over throttle? slider, right click

Show speed steps, OK

Change speed steps

Hover over throttle, right click

Change to slider, hit OK.

From memory, this has been happening now for a few years, not sure how to fix it permanently. Hopefully someone will tell us how. Rick.

I want multiple throttles on the scree on a vista machine running JMRI.? When I switch from one to the other, the first gets minimized so I cant see it.? What do I need to do?

Paxton58,

Are you talking about multiple throttles on a machine running JMRI? JMRI can have as many Throttle windows as you want! I've had more than 50 on the screen at one time.

Or are you talking about a mobile device running EngineDriver or WiThrottle? That is beyond my knowledge, and will leave that to those who have direct knowledge.

Regards,
Billybob

I've had as many as 4 open at 1 time with no minimizing under windows 10.

Yes... I've seen JMRI on a central control station have 10 throttles opened so one "engineer" was controlling 10 trains parading around a large club layout.

Spotters with FRS radios would call in to speed up or slow down a given train... Odd to my taste, but an example of a lot of open throttles.

Is it possible to have more than one throttle displayed on the computer screen at one time?? when I switch between throttles, one gets minimized and I would like to have two on the screen at one time when adjusting speeds.?? Appreciate all of the help I have received while trying to learn decoderpro.? Finally feel that I pretty much have it under control!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a beginner building a testing bench to learn and test JMRI functionalities, how it works with DCC++ over and Arduino Mega, testing better placement for sensors and signals, … prior to build the complete layout.

?

The enviroment I'm working on is:

?

PC: ASUS Intel Core i3-7100 CPU @ 3.90GHz 8GB RAM, Windows 10 Home, Java 1.8,0_181-b13

JMRI - version 4.12 + Rb6a9bb1 (previously 4.10 with the same trouble)

Arduino Mega - as base station comander (trouble also occurs with System Connection DCC++ Simulator)

Arduino Nano - as decoder for Accessories (trouble also occurs with System Connection DCC++ Simulator)

?

Ascii art for my simplified testing bench:

?

11 < sssssssss >> 3333 < uuuuuuu >

< aaaaaa >> 111 < bbbbbbbb > 2222 << ccccccc >

?

3333 and 2222 represent 2 diferent blocks for an X-Over (I'm not sure if it is the correct ascii art representation)

?

All seems to works fine except when turnout and X-over are thrown, in wich case the left double head mast shows clear aspect for straight route and stop aspect for diverging route.

?

I played with the layout uploaded by Dave Sand last May 29, removing elements and adding three end bumpers, making both layouts identical, and surprise …. it works completely well!!. So, I'm doing somthing wrong.

?

I know, using Dave Sand's file the problen is over, but I would like to use my own system and user names, and over all, I would like to know what I'm doing wrong.

?

I will try to upload my XML file to the JMRIusers files area (not sure if it's posible as new user),

?

Others minor problems:

- Error message from System Console before opening panels, just PanelPro:

2018-09-06 12:44:36,119 managers.JmriUserPreferencesManager ERROR - Unable to retrieve property "windowRectangle2D" for window "jmri.jmrit.display.layoutEditor.LayoutEditor:My Layout" [AWT-EventQueue-0]

- It's not possible to remove a turnout item on the turnout table. Deleting from the table it disappears

but it appears when booting again.

?

I would appreciate any suggestion.

?

Hi, hope someone can help me. I'm using a SPROG3 and JMRI 4:12. I guess I must have changed something but don't know what. The symptom is than as I increase the throttle using the slider the loco motor speed increases but at around 30% the motor cuts out. The same thing happens in PanelPro and DecoderPro and I get the same effect on both Windows7 and Linux (Raspberry Pi)

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Thank's for your reply Dan but I can't find British Railways in operations help, what am I doing wrong?

David Brown

Look up British Railways in the operations help
You need to change your locale.
Dan

Dave,

Thanks for this. But if I have to use a script for any of it, I could use one for the whole thing, i.e. wait on the sensor 'Input OK' and set the Block value directly (plus other stuff that has to ben done). I? just thought that if I could use Logix, it would save a script...

No problem, thanks for your time. I'll use a script until you add Blocks to the Logix.

Dave

I am trying to set up operations and every time I set a?location instead of showing US freight cars despite setting HO it shows British waggons how do I change this to US freight cars etc
Thank you David Brown

Many thanks all :-)
