For Windows there is a free utility called MD5 and SHA Checksum utility to check the SHA or MD5 checksums.

Don,

? ? Thanks for the confirmation that there is a problem.? Will have to combine my two station tracks as one now.? Hopefully I can do this with out missing up paths and signals.

Roger

To extend Ken’s good point, we don’t internally sign our Windows versions. That’s a cumbersome process (AFAIK; perhaps somebody can set up an automated & easy way to do it).

But we do publish SHA256 hashes that can be used to verify a downloaded file.

They’re published on the download page, i.e.

I don’t know how to check that on Windows. On macOS, you say i.e.

shasum -a 256 JMRI.4.15.9+Rf006fc4.dmg

on (most kinds of) Linux

sha256sum JMRI.4.15.9+Rf006fc4.tgz

and then compare the result to the published value. There’s probably a similar command on Windows.

Dave,

Check to see if you've selected the "Truncate" option in the Manifest Print Options page.? See "Truncate" in the help for more info:

Ross, Dick:

Has it been established that this HP will run *anything* in it's USB ports?

I've been running LocoBuffer USB since USB was first added to a PC... USB 1.0 through 3.1gen1... No machine has been a problem and I have some weedy machines... Dick to your credit the LocoBuffer is a given, it works...

Does the host LED light on the LocoBuffer when connected to a USB?

I don't have mine here now the temptation to loan them out to help (Digitrax) users add WiFi/JMRI/Pi widgets to too tempting... Otherwise I would try one of my machines that has USB on/off control to see if I can duplicate this failure...

Jim Albanowski

I am using Windows 7 and downloaded the 4.16 JMRI from your website.? When I tried to install it my Trend Micro Anti-Virus program blocked installation due to suspicious file.? This never happened before.? Has any one else had this come up?? Should I just click Allow?
Thanks
Bob

I've gotten involved with a layout that has a number of Digitrax DS64 decoders installed with not much if anything in the way of documentation.? I've looked at the tabs in the JMRI DS64 tab, and I see that it has options to read this decoder.? I don't see anything in the DS64 manual about read capability.

Can the DS64 contents be read from JMRI?? If so, POM or programming track?? Any buttons that need to be pushed on the DS64 to enable reading?

Thanks for the shared experience.

Hi,

Just to add something that has not been emphasized here. There are two different LocoBuffer-USB units, both connected to the same LocoNet and to the same computer, one runs an instance of PanelPro and the other is for an instance of DecoderPro. There are reasons for this, so don't go down the road of why you don't need to do that. Neither connection works on the HP machine, but both connections have been tested on a MS Surface machine and apparently work OK. This is why suspicion is heavy against the HP machine, but the drivers install as expected and show up as COM ports as expected, and JMRI runs as expected. (other than not talking to the LocoBuffer-USB units) I would think that this indicates that the USB ports are communicating OK. A LocoBuffer-USB draws about 18mA from the USB, so we are not looking at high power causing USB issues, even without a powered hub. I had him test with a single instance of JMRI running two LocoNet connections, and neither connection would work, so it has nothing to do with running two instances of JMRI.

All this worked on an older machine that apparently has gone to the computer happy hunting ground and been replaced with this newer refurbished 'off lease' HP machine.

Dick :)

I just did as you requested and again placed that same locomotive on the programing track. This time the "Read type from the decoder" properly identified the LokSound Select. What I cannot tell you is, did it identify the correct "Select" decoder because I had downloaded the CV's using that selection OR did it properly identify the decoder type from the decoder as it should. I do not know.

It sounds like the original "Read type from the decoder" didn't complete satisfactorily.

I just did some tests of deliberately disconnecting (simulating poor track conditions) an ESU Select decoder during identification. Instead of showing an error, JMRI simply highlighted many ESU decoders and asked me to pick manually.

That's a programming deficiency in the JMRI IdentifyDecoder code.

Clearly it is assigned to Tk 1N in Castle Rock Yard with final destination GA Stage 2-(TFB) but "to Tk 1N" does not print on the manifest.

Now looking at the first car setout in Galveston Yard I see the following:

--------------------------------------------------------

Here SCMX 901 it is assigned to Tk 2S in galveston Yard with final destination GA Stage 2-(TFB) but "to Tk 2S" DOES PRINT on the manifest.

Why the difference?? I want source and destination tracks to print for all pick-ups and setouts.

One thing to add. If the roster.xml file and the locoxxx.xml and images are supposed to be in two separate locations, then the <>???is incorrect. According to it, they should be in the same directory.

Dave...Sorry for the delay.
A)When I originally placed the locomotive on the Program track and did a "Read type from the decoder" it identified ESU but highlighted a majority of the decoders listed in the menu.
B) So I called ATLAS and obtained the version number (4) and used the LokSound 4 Select and selected that decoder from the ESU menu
C) I then downloaded the CV's as you instructed and all works fine.

I think that unless carefully read, the parsing of most people will still
mix up the relationship of the file vs directory. It's a thought that came
to me while reading this thread.

Hi Roger

I have a similar problem and none of the provided methods would cause the train to pause in the first block of a 2 block section. Steve G basically said that for autotrains running try to use only single block sections. My configuration has train and block lengths accurately defined, all cars detected and transits configured to allocate to Safe sections.

I managed to come up with a kludge which almost stops a train in the first section. I set an action to turn the sensor to the first block off as soon as the train enters the second block. Autotrains thinks the train is now totally within the second block and pauses. It also ensures trains stop near the center of the two blocks preventing overshoots if the train length is close to the length of the block.

Cheers
Don McG
