Hi Dave B,

Note that there were some tweaks to improve Layout Editor supporting Turnouts, especially those with 2 sensor feedback in JMRI v 4.17.3.
See ?and?

Steve Y.

Here are links to the videos you requested. For simplicity I used the bounce back 127.0.0.1


This shows the lack of proper indication for switches on the web server panel


This shows that the dialogue boxes don't pop up in the browser - although they do pop up on the local machine

Thanks Tim?

Static has effected my command station in the past - I could not drive particular locos - but a number up one or down one would work.

Try the full reset.

I spray the carpet with an anti static solution before each op session - just for safety sake.

Gerry

Thanks everybody for all the information! Good stuff there. Things to try.

Gerry, actually I haven't reset my Command Station. I have powered it down and back on, but not while holding down the ENTER key.

I've had no problems in all the 20+ years I've used this EasyDCC Command Station. It's just worked, so I have forgotten a lot about it.... Maybe it's been working too well!???????? :--)

And, thank you Dave Sand for the icon help. I'll have to try that when I feel brave.

This gets curiouser and curiouser.

I put loco 1003 on the programming track, and asked DecoderPro to identify it. It found it correctly, highlighting the roster line for loco 1003. If the address works right there, would it be wrong on the main track? If it's right on the main track, and the rest of the packet looked normal for going forward and stopping, then why didn't the loco run?

I also can't get a loco set to address 32 to work, whether as a short or long address. But, DecoderPro identified it, too. I think I'll try making it address 132 temporarily, to see if that works.

It seems so close to working properly, yet it doesn't! Maybe I should make sure the checksum value at the end of the packet is correct. I haven't done that exercise.

I have merged a fix for layoutturnouts and layoutblocks, which is now included in the latest developer build, and will be in future test and production releases.

If additional elements are found generating similar WARN messages, please attach example panel(s) so we can investigate and address.

I have created Github issues and to investigate and address those.

These fixes have been merged and are included in the latest developer build, and will be in future test and production releases. Note that the double-crossover will need the same fix, but I don't have an example of one to work with.

The simple answer is "Don't". Just use the PanelPro icon and autostart already provided. If you want to see the Roster, just add "Open Roster" to your startup actions. Creating a separate icon for the same program is a recipe for confusion.

I have been using JMRI with Easydcc (both the CB2 and CB2B) for many years with no problems, I do a lot of installs for others - with many numbers in the 8000 and 9000 series. The locos get a good testing on the layout when done.

The only suggestion I can make - and you have probably done this - do a full reset of the command station. Hold the enter key down and turn the power on while holding the enter key down until the reset is complete.

Well, I've confirmed JMRI is sending the right addresses to the EasyDCC. Now, I wonder why they don't result in the same packets going to the decoders as when controlled from the EasyDCC plug in throttles? Using the plug in throttles, I have control of locos with addresses above 1000. With WiThrottle though JMRI on the RPi, I don't.

JMRI to EasyDCC addresses from the raw data, following a prefix hex C. For example C1 5D 3F 80 23 is Speed = 0 to loco 349:

349:??? 15Dh
901:??? 385h
1003:? 3EBh
1477:? 5C5h

Don:

There was an issue some time ago where the CVP serial interface wasn't processing long addresses... short fine...

Let's see, CVP considers anything under 100 or is it 127 short with no option like NCE to use either...

Connecting a friends layout to a Win10 baby computer... Minix Z83-4 through a Keyspan USB it does handle long addresses with the very latest firmware in the command station... I'm not near the RR and my friend isn't around to double check all the version numbers...

Maybe a place to look?

My 2 cents are forget windows and put jmri on a RPi.

Suggesting someone buy a new computer (no matter how cheap) using a different OS is not very helpful. Especially when the issue is probably a simple installation problem.. Two JMRI developers have offered solutions to this issue.

While the RPi has it's place not everyone is interested.

I can rotate the display but the touchscreen remains 90? out which means a horizontal move of the screen gives a vertical move of the mouse pointer.

Steve,

? ? I've downloaded two pics into the photos section under "Waveshare".? They show what I'm seeing on my display when you use the Waveshare driver.? Might order a better 3.5 LCD screen that plugs into the HDMI post next and use this pi for camera display.

? ?Manged to move and resize the last panel window for JMRI so I can shut down the pi now without the main monitor.? ?Tried to run Dispatcher ( which I did before using the monitor), but could not access the bottom section of the New Train window.? ?The WiFi throttle worked well, a bit slow though and the web server showed the panels in their proper resolution.

Mike,

? ? Can you fix the problem by running the following command to put back into correct position?

? ? sudo ./LCD35-show 0
