Re: Help getting JMRI working on a new WIN10 computer
There are a number of issues around Digitrax track power that have not yet been resolved. The best advice is to ensure that track power is on before starting JMRI PanelPro or DecoderPro. And do not turn it off or on from JMRI.
The problem is particularly acute with any of the command stations with built in USB ports, and/or slow computers (think Acer One or Pi 2's.)

3) Some legacy decoders support only Paged Mode, most modern decoders support a Direct mode.
I've improved the identification routine by only falling back to Paged Mode if a Direct Mode read of CV8 fails (indicating a legacy decoder).
A test build with the fix is available at <> (#3406 or later).

Paul, this sounds great! I use lots of servos on my layout, currently driven by the excellent Tam Valley QuadLN-S boards, but I also have the SparkFun pHat board and would love to be able to use it from JMRI. I'd be glad to help with testing or even coding once you get the basic JMRI framework in place. --SteveT

THANK YOU. I checked the ¡°Requires Drive Sound¡± and that solved the problem. I also reduced the volume. It was a fan on the prime mover and now it too shuts down when I click (shift F-8).?
PROBLEM SOLVED. THANK YOU?

Re: Help getting JMRI working on a new WIN10 computer
The slot monitor messages also contain the power on/off bit. If JMRI is, for some reason, not seeing messages come back from the LocoNet, the slot monitor messages might be fooling it into thinking that it knows the status anyway.

Bob,
We use a LocoBuffer-USB ver 2.070. No dip switches.
What's interesting is seeming having communication with the Slot Monitor open.
Ken Cameron reviewed the 'debugging' information I posted. I've got some things to check tomorrow.
Thank you for all the help.

Re: JMRI 4.16, fails to connect to my LAN MQTT Mosquitto Broker/Server
Just an update for those interested: Travis discovered that Windows 10 treats normal users different than Administrators when it comes to opening TCP/IP connections as used for MQTT in JMRI.
So if anyone else ever experience this kind of problem, please suggest to run JMRI (like PanelPro) with "Run As Administrator", until we know a little more!

Re: Probem with feedback from MGP sensor.
Bosse,
What I would like to know is which of these messages is supposed to be associated with the operation you are having problems with? Simply having a log of bunch of traffic does not help me understand where the problem might be.
You could help us understand the problem by telling us the exact sequence of events you expect. When I work on issues like this, I like to annotate _each line_ of the log file(s) to describe the events on the layout. Something like "this message happened when block X was occupied".
Did _anything_ cause the position of a turnout to change during this sequence of events? Is the "LT112 switch input is closed" happening to indicate that the occupancy of a particular block has changed?
Regards,
Billybob

Re: I fell at the first fence
Partly, you have to expect to spend a bit of time working with it to figure out how the various controls work: What you have to fill in before you can drag something, what you do from the edit window vs what you do with a ctrl-click of the mouse, etc. Since the Panel Editor and Control Panel Editor do lots of things, there are lots of things to learn how to do. It¡¯s certainly possible that there are bugs. But Panel Editor has been part of JMRI since 2002, Control Panel Editor since 2008, so large parts of them probably work OK. If something doesn¡¯t seem to work, the best approach is to say ¡°How else can I do this?¡± or ¡°What might I have to do first?¡± or things like that. Saying ¡°well, it¡¯s probably broken and I can¡¯¡¯t do it¡±, although it might be true, is probably not the best way to get to know how to do things. If you¡¯re falling at the first fence, perhaps you should look around for the gate. Bob On Aug 5, 2019, at 2:46 PM, Terry Metcalfe via Groups.Io <terrymetcalfe@...> wrote:

You¡¯re looking at the wrong window. The Panel Editor shows the panel _and_ (when it¡¯s in edit mode) a separate Panel Editor window.

The Conditions column will detail the F key(s) that trigger "Sound Slot 8". If the Fan Sound is only a problem when the loco is shut down, you could simply check the "Requires Drive Sound" checkbox next to "Sound Slot 8" on the Sound Levels pane.

Terry,
As I understand it, you have a Layout Editor panel and it knows about the
layout. But you'd like to make some panels to control things on the layout.
That is what the 'other' editors work on. Remember the key difference: LE
uses stick figure icons that you draw connections between, CPE or PE uses
icon images. Under the menu item "Panels"->"New Panels"->"Panel Editor",
this will open a new pane for you to start building your control panel. That
one can switch between the PE or CPE modes. Why two, history mostly, but
there are somethings easier to edit in one of them than the other. At least
I find myself flipping back and forth for that reason. When editing, it uses
a separate pane for the editing features instead of taking a strip of space
in the same pane (which is what LE does).
PE - Panel Editor (original)
CPE - Control Panel Editor
LE - Layout Editor (more for layout part relationships and locations, used
by many tools)
SPE - Switch Panel Editor (I've not used it, intended for massive number of
controls I think)
