Re: Cannot run NCE on JMRI
Ken S,
So your log file (with 4.16) would be the result of either wrong port or a cable problem. Minor chance of a driver issue. Just to confirm things, I'd open up the Windows Device Manager and watch as you plug the USB into the computer and remove it. Watching the COM port appear and disappear confirms the COMx value. Also confirm the properties says the driver is working ok. One trick about cables, if you remove the PowerCab and put the USB on that cable (without moving the cable), should let the identify of the USB work at startup. That's the line that would say 7.3.0 for the version and it wouldn't complain about the AA command timing out and failing. Once that is working, then we know the USB and cable to the computer is good. After that, we try with the other cable and see if it will talk to the PowerCab. Small steps is best for this sort of work when we are helping from around the globe. Think of it as sneaking up on the real issue. -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team www.jmri.org www.fingerlakeslivesteamers.org www.cnymod.com www.syracusemodelrr.org |

That method crossed our minds too since we have two digit club member numbers. Just not easy to use if we have to remember a club members number and a made up number.? Do you have a cheat sheet or something that¡¯s readily available while you operate?? Wayne |

LE menu Bug
I was having some difficulty with the Layout Editor interface today using version 4.17.2
I am using Linux distro Lubuntu, Java shows as 11.0.4. Connections are defined as NCE Sim and CMRI sim with Nodes 0-3 defined. When I launched PanelPro and created new Layout Editor panel, I was able to access each menu and add items to the panel without any problems.? This included above ToolBar menu, and pop-up menus in the design area.? Once I saved and restarted PanelPro, the menus were inaccessible.? A mouse click would open the "drop-down" but a release of the mouse click closed the menu.? Using Alt-[letter] also opened the menu, but mousing over items in the drop down simply closed the menu.? Right-clicking on track elements in design area (to assign turnouts, blocks) would again open the menu to show options, but not allow any item to be selected for action. I reverted back to 4.16 and created a new/different LE panel and all seems to be working fine. Mark Z. |

Hello,

Yes, I have NCE USB interface with a Powercab. Baud rate is 9,600 and I have no jumpers on interface. As I said before this combination worked a year ago. It only occurred when I tried to update JMRI version two weeks ago. Ken S -----Original Message-----

From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of whmvd ? Hi Ken, ? That's still 4.12, and therefore not very useful. You really need to get to 4.16, get the defaults set and saved, and run the test again. Then send the log and magic will happen. Well, probably. The people who are on it are unbeatable in their knowledge and helpfulness, but - you really need to do what they say they want done. ? Good luck, Wouter ?

Re: Cannot run NCE on JMRI
One issue with 4.16 is that there may be a baud rate issue when installed.
Some combinations work fine, other fail. There are ways to deal with it, the issue is it either blanking the baud rate in the profile.xml data or not reading it successfully. The result is JMRI will use what it thinks the 'default' rate for the interface and that isn't always correct. So expecting instant success isn't right. Reviewing the console log will tell what it ended up doing. From that we can point to correcting it, if the baud rate issue happens. -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team www.jmri.org www.fingerlakeslivesteamers.org www.cnymod.com www.syracusemodelrr.org |

Re: Benefits of running a Rpi
Don't just turn the power off.? You risk corruption of the file allocation tables which are critical to how the SD card file structure is maintained.
Shutdown JMRI normally. Open a terminal window: Do a "sudo sync" Then? "sudo shutdown -h now" |

Re: Benefits of running a Rpi
Dave,
? ? I'm seeing now quicker shut down times.? Takes about 5 secs for JMRI to shut down, unless a wireless throttle is still attached then it takes 15 secs.? So now I'm seeing about 55-60 secs to shut down. Roger |
