NCE and error code 306
I recently installed JMRI on my laptop running Windows 7.? I was able to upload the roster from my main computer to the laptop no problem.? But I am unable to do any programming from the laptop, I keep getting error coode 306.
I am using a USB to RS232 cable using USB Com port 9 running at 9600 baud.? Also, I notice that when I attempt to program on the main the system automatically switches back to program track. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. |

Separate panels are no longer required. Layout Editor can use all of the same panel, lever and indicator icons as Panel Editor and provide the track connectivity. See /g/jmriusers/photo/79886/0?p=Created,,,20,2,0,0 Dave Sand On Sep 2, 2019, at 12:17 PM, Nick via Groups.Io <cornwall9@...> wrote: |

changes that my decoder doesn't know about. -- Jon Miller For me time stopped in 1941 Digitrax Chief/Zephyr systems, SPROG, JMRI User NMRA Life member #2623 Member SFRH&MS |

Re: Help with panels
Nick
Wayne, There are some good videos on Youtube but you might get more from using one of the step-by-step clinics. They have links one the JMRI website or rr-cirkits,com also has his clinics on his website. You didn't say what you wanted to do . The videos on Youtube show specific things like using LCC equipment , Or Arduinos for multiple tasks .Simply looking for PanelPro videos will get pretty frustrating without a specific search. There are several types of panels you can create. Layout Editor will provide the tools to create a trackplan of your layout with all the loops, crossovers, power/occupancy blocks, and is basically and "overhead" view of your layout. Panel Editor will create a "graphic" panel in virtually any method you like using icons in partnership with your hardware BUT, the items are not "linked" together to follow certain "rules" of inter connectivity that Layout Editor requires, nor are you bound by the logic it uses in relationship to operating your layout. You can also create a panel using both types of editors . One to show the train status on the "layout", the other to represent a US&S CTC panel that functions just like the prototype.? Are you currently using DecoderPro ? What DCC system are you using ? What type of hardware are you going to use to interact with the panel? What do you want your panel to do ? Signaling, Automatic train control ? Control yard routes for classification yards ? Provide realistic CTC , ABS, APB signaling ? I made the very first clinic on creating a panel for my Cornwall Railroad around 2002, and the basics are very true. To truly help you, Some very basic information is needed. I have copied the "how to ask questions" instructions below to provide some guidance. I can help IF you are using Windows on a PC.? I still need the information to help you though. Regards, Nick Kulp =============================================================================== One of the most common questions about JMRI is "How do I get it to work?". This isn't really a problem with JMRI itself in most cases, but there are HUGE numbers of possible configurations for DCC systems, and Windows, Linux, and Mac computers out there. Just asking "How do I get it to work" is NOT going to get you any useful help.? When asking ANY question, you should utilize a meaningful subject line that indicates? the problem and include the following information in the body of the message: + If JMRI has started copy and paste the System Console into the body. (its under help on the start screen) + Has JMRI worked before on this computer? + Computer make and model ? + if you have just upgraded, from? which version + Any other DCC devices in use + Specific details of your difficulty including error messages if any, or what you would ? ? like to do with JMRI. Decoder Programming, Signals, Automation, etc. Depending on the nature of the problem, you may need to supply even more information, but this is the absolute required for anyone to give you accurate answers.?

General NCE Question
Everyone,
Can someone give me a general list of shortcomings of a NCE PowerPro system hooked to JMRI via the RS-232 serial interface? Things that you cannot do compared to other systems for instance. Thanks in advance. John Griffin |

Re: RR-Cirkits Motorman and Berrett Hill Toggle Switch pairing
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýSteve, You will need two I/O ports, one for output (touch) and the other
for input. (color) The MotorMan only has one aux I/O, so you would
need two MotorMan boards. The TowerMan has two I/O ports so that
is why I suggested it. The 'Man boards can not support both Input
and Output on a single port at the same time like the LCC boards
can do. An LCC user could use the Berrett Hill Ribbon Cable Input
adapter (RCI8) to connect to a single dual mode port. If you never
use JMRI nor a hand held to control turnout position, then I think
you could ignore controlling the color indication by letting it
default to the toggle indication and only using the output cable.
You had better try that to be sure it works right for you. In
other words check to see if the color follows the Touch Toggle if
no connection is made to the output connector. The reason I say
this is that the Logic Translator might be converting a Touch
Toggle to act like a Touch Trigger and just sending out brief
pulses which would then let it act the same as other momentary
turnout controls. Dick :) On 9/2/2019 11:21 AM, pustays wrote:

Rocco, 4.16 is indeed newer than 4.6, (many years newer) but be aware that 4.16 has a serious bug in the default baud rate setting area. (It affects CMRI, Digitrax, and possibly other interfaces) You would be MUCH better off to upgrade to 4.17.3 which is a test version that fixes these issues as far as we can tell. There has actually been some talk on the developers forum about how to go about fixing 4.16 so that folks don't run afoul of these issues. If I remember right it would be difficult to go back and just make these specific fixes to 4.16, so 4.16.1 probably will never happen. Normally the test releases carry some risk of new bugs, but 4.17.3 with its slight possibility for new bugs is surely the better option today, especially when compared with 4.16 and its known serious bug.

Gentlemen, I need a little help with two questions: 1. I went to the JMRI web site's down load page and it says that the current version is 4.16. If I start my version on my computer it says that I have version 4.6-R81496dc? Did they restart the version numbers? Got any ideas? If 4.16 is newer do I install it over top of the old one or put it in a new directory? 2. I recently purchase an engine with an unknown decoder. I went to add the engine into my roster and asked decoder pro to identify the decoder. It came back and said that it was a Train Control Systems/Jan 2000. It highlighted about 10 different decoders. Which one do I choose? Thanks for any help. Rock |
