Hello
I seems like others have a similar issue... seeing the Messoth 123 decoder only. I am using NCE. Once I went BACK to Wangrow the issue rectified.
Apparently not a software issue (???). The only change I made was to the: "early 2004" setting and possibly the port number. Seems like I had a problem "changing/setting" the preference buttons??
If you are using NEC what model number and are you still having the problem?
Has anyone had the problem using Digitrax? Command station?
|
Seeing ¡°Massoth 123¡± is a sure sign that you don¡¯t have a connection between the software and your command station.?
So, the preferences are wrong somewhere.? Exactly where needs more information about your system and its current setup.?

Re: OpenLCB - Lights - Help - Tests for build 3335 failed.
Hi Tim,
Have been meaning to post, hadn't forgotten about you!
Not had a chance to progress this recently, family commitments + have needed to debug a few CBUS things which have cropped up.
It's still on the list of things to sort though, possibly even later this evening depending on how I get one with a hardware test.
I haven't ( yet ) doubled the OpenLCB Light panel size, however still planning on building a massive test xml programatically.
I'm aware that OpenLCB was?updated from 0.7.25 to 0.7.26 between JMRI 4.17.1 and JMRI 4.17.2,?
although you'd need to check the OpenLCB project for details on what that means!

If you want to see what¡¯s being sent to your command station, you can turn on JMRI¡¯s monitor for that connection. There¡¯s a ¡°show raw data¡± button that will give you the entire message. For most DCC systems, JMRI doesn¡¯t provide the raw DCC packet information. For LocoNet connections, for example, throttles (including JMRI) send a 0-100 speed on the LocoNet that the command station converts to DCC packets. So if you really need to know what¡¯s being sent, sniffing the DCC seems like the best approach. Bob On Jul 26, 2019, at 7:22 AM, Erich Whitney <erich@...> wrote:
Thanks Bob. I guess I was thinking that there must be a low-level function that actually creates the entry in the data packet that's sent to the command station.

Test version 4.17.2 of JMRI/DecoderPro is available for download
Test version 4.17.2 of JMRI/DecoderPro is available for download.
This is the next in a series of test releases that will culminate in a production release, hopefully in December 2019.
There have been a lot of updates in this version, so it should be considered experimental.
If you are currently using JMRI 4.9.6 or earlier, we strongly recommend that you first update to JMRI 4.12 and make sure that's running OK before updating to this test release. There have been a number of changes in serial port support, panel file format and configuration options since those earlier releases, and moving to the stable JMRI 4.12 release is a good way to work through any possible problems.
<>
If you use JMRI on Linux or Mac and are updating from JMRI 4.7.3 or earlier, there¡¯s a necessary migration step. (Not needed on Windows) Please see the JMRI 4.12 release note for details: <>
For more information on the issues, new features and bug fixes in 4.17.2 please see the release note:
<>
Note that JMRI is made available under the GNU General Public License. For more information, please see our copyright and licensing page.

The download links, along with lots of other information which we hope you'll read, can be found on the release note page:

Re: Raspberry Pi Servo pHAT
Hello Jason,
?
Your project sounds very similar to what I am investigating. A few comments:
?
- The SparkFun Servo pHAT for Raspberry Pi has an optional 5V mini plug so you can power the servos separately from the Raspberry Pi
- There is also a spot under the board where you can sever the power connection between the RPi and the pHAT
- With the proper external power supply connected in this way, you should be able to handle all 16 servos
- With Steve Todd¡¯s Raspbian/JMRI image running on the RPi, you should have the user interface needed to move the servos
- With JMRI¡¯s Panel Pro, you can create a control panel with buttons that will activate the connections to the servos
- All JMRI panels may be displayed via the web server and should be visible on any mobile device connected to JMRI
?
I am more of a software guy (40 years¡¯ experience in the industry) who still looks at the hardware like a magic black box. That being said, I do not like to write code ¡ it is much easier and much more reliable to find code that already
works. That I why I love JMRI ¡ it is a platform with significant functionality right out-of-the-box (and free as well).

Richard,
I have a project I have been working off and on with for the last few months using a Raspberry Pi Zero W and custom 16 channel PWM board I created, similar to the one you are using.? The difference is I wanted to make the power interface
a little more easy to work with.
My general goal is to create 16 channel "nodes" for driving 16 servo turnouts around a layout through an IP/web based control interface.
I have attached a couple of pictures.? I am working on the code in Python.? So far my limited coding ability has been my major blocking point for really getting this working the way I want it to.? I'm having a hard time getting getting
any web access to control the IO pins directly, to talk with the PWM controller.? I'm really a hardware guy, forced to write crummy code :o)

Hello Group,
Thank you to all who commented on my earlier post where I was trying to connect servos directly to my Arduino Mega running the DCC++ sketch. With everyone's help, I have decided to abandon that approach.
I have ordered a Pi Servo pHAT for my Raspberry Pi that is running JMRI. This $10.95 product has 16 channels that allow for direct connection and management of 16 servos. Here is information on how it works:
Has anyone used a this product, or something similar? I am assuming I will be able to configure and operate this within the JMRI environment.

Re: EngineDriver 2.24.89 released to production

Steve, any chance of getting this update from the Kindle app store?
Update for Larry and other Kindle users:
I bought a Fire 7 on Prime Day so I could (hopefully) figure out why EngineDriver was no longer showing up in the Amazon App store. I went through the same steps to post v2.24.93 as I've done before, and it now shows support for 23 of 24 Amazon devices (all but the 2011 Kindle Fire).
On my new Fire 7, I opened Amazon AppStore, searched for "jmri" and it showed EngineDriver. Clicked Install, then Open and it is working fine (desk test).
If I was paranoid, I'd think Amazon refused to publish until I actually owned a compatible device..... :)

Thank you, Bob & Paul. ?There's just so much to learn about JMRI (and then all the other bits of software it can interact with...)
Like much of Europe & the US at the moment, a heatwave here means I'm spending most time outside rather than at the computer, so it'll take me a little while to try the 2 suggestions out. ?But just a couple of comments:
Bob: ?At present, my iMac, Arduino & motor shield are in my office. ?A 5m USB cable currently runs from the motor shield there to the rails outside. ?The USB connection on the ESP32 (driving the servos) is taken up by the power supply from the 5v "Phone charging" battery. ?I could try using a different 5v source for the ESP32 connected directly to a voltage in on the ESP32 and so free up its USB connection to take input from motor shield as you suggest.
Paul: ?Yes, the ESP32 outside is on the house wifi - as are the iMac running JMRI and the iPhone running the WiThrottle app. ?Your suggestion looks feasible and I will try it in due course, but, if possible, I'd prefer not to have to introduce even more s/w elements to the system or interfaces between them, like MQTT and mosquito. ?We'll see...

I'd be surprised if there wasn't some MQTT client implementation available for the ESP32 as it's all about IOT and all the connections can be wireless as long as your garden railway is in range of a wifi router.

Re: Alternate Sections in Transits using Dispatcher
Torben
Running "safe" solves this. A train will not leave it's current section until the next safe section is clear. That's normally a passing point that has alternates.

The problem might be that DCC needs precise timing to work correctly and it may be difficult to process something else. For example to smoothly move servo you need to move them degree by degree during a certain amount of time. This may introduce too much latency and mess up the DCC decoding.
Le jeu. 25 juil. 2019 16:30, rsauerbrun < richard@...> a ¨¦crit?: Yes, I am trying run this on the same Arduino Mega that is running the DCC++ code. I just assumed that the DCC++ base station code, when configured for the outputs would handle one servo.
Did I assume incorrectly?
