A clarification:

On the DS64, by default, the turnout addresses are _dependent_ on the board address. But the individual turnout addresses _may be changed_ from the default addresses which are _implied_ by the board address. This means that "independence" requires specific user programming actions.

Billybob,

Thanks for that tidbit. I guess I've always just set the board address and then set the turnout addresses without reading them in between. I have a never-used, still-in-the-package DS64 that I'll have to try that on.

Marc,

I will check that out. Thanks for the help.
I will let you know.

This is the log file from the system console. Thank you again.

Steve,

"Notepad++" is a good choice. It's on the list of XML editors, see

I find the use of indentations very helpful.

This is the next in a series of test releases that will culminate in a production release, hopefully in early December 2019.

If you are currently using JMRI 4.9.6 or earlier, we strongly recommend that you first update to JMRI 4.12 and make sure that's running OK before updating to this test release. There have been a number of changes in serial port support, panel file format and configuration options since those earlier releases, and moving to the stable JMRI 4.12 release is a good way to work through any possible problems.

If you use JMRI on Linux or Mac and are updating from JMRI 4.7.3 or earlier, there’s a necessary migration step. (Not needed on Windows) Please see the JMRI 4.12 release note for details: <>

I've recently set up release version 4.16.0 on my MacBook Pro OSX 10.14.6 to connect with a newly acquired Lenz LZV200 command station. Everything works fine, but when I check the system status it gives me the correct version (3.8, as opposed to the 3.6 associated with the older command station) but gives the name of the command station as the previous LZV100. Probably a simple correction, right?

About all I can do is add LZV200 to the list ( which currently includes the LZ100 and LZV100 ). The LZV200 is reporting the same hardware type as the older models.

It does much more. D/L the LokProgrammer software. It wont work without the hardware, but you can see some of what it can do. You may need to D/L a sound project to use.
I won't have near enough Lok's to ever warrant $145 for a programmer.

Not to mention Sound Project modification, adding/removing sounds, including user sounds, all with a proprietary file format and proprietary hardware (not DCC format data), simulation.

It's never going to be done by JMRI, even less without the proprietary LokProgrammer hardware.

Thanks for the input Dave.? I do think automation will accomplish what I'm after, though I have yet to implement it.

We had a session yesterday where I ran through the lineup in advance in simulator mode and printed out all the manifests, then reset the layout to the pre-session state for the actual session.? During the session itself, I did not manage to keep up with the real-time builds very well (without automation) but since we had the paperwork in advance, it was not much of an issue.? I think I see how to get where I want to go though, and it seems like a fun journey.? :)

It seems to me that the functionality of the Fast Clock has somehow not made it into 4.17 either.? There is no activity in the traffic monitor and I would expect that it would show there regardless of baud rate issues.
?I also cannot get the start/stop button to show on the displayed (LCD) clock.

Dear All,

I gave up with this experiment for many reasons and its some time ago so the some of the details have slipped my mind.

As I recall, the configuration was a USB/CAN connection to a local segment and TCP/IP to a remote layout.? I was attempting to use the remote layout for checking compatability with later versions of software in my nodes.? I gave up for because the then version of JMRI would only send events to the first connection and the latency in the TCP/IP connection caused issues if the local CAN segment was disconnected.

Nom

Thanks to all your replies.? I was able as someone suggested, reset the decoder to factory settings.? It still would not run with either 3 or 201 as the address.? Checking around I found a broken motor wire hanging on by one strand.? It still would not run with address 3 but when I set the address to 201 it ran.? It does not light the headlamps but that could well be because of a previous owners crap solder job.? I plan to replace the lamps with 3mm LEDS.

Conrad,

Thank you very much, and, "Wow!" I will work through this I saved your reply as a separate file for reference.

The config file is the confusing part. I tried several text editors trying to see it as more than a solid block of text. Two just gave me error messages.

"Notepad++," a free download I got to do something now forgotten, displayed the file with colors, separate lines, and indentations.

I have to learn more about that language.

Hello, I am using JMRI ver 4.16, with windows 7, current java version, on a Lenovo Think pad, with an MRC tethered computer interface cable #0001516, an MRC Prodigy Advance with sys v03 upgrade, com port 14 and when attempting to use decoder pro to read a decoder to find out what one is installed (bought the engine used, it is a Kato pre-dcc one that was converted and it runs on the DCC system), I get the following error:



Any info is appreciated.
I will attempt to look in the log file also.
Thank you in advance for the help.

Unless you enjoy this, I would not put time on it.

Hi Again Steve.

All lights are setup on the Fast Clock.

In doing the programming I would like to request that:

1. The Time Entry Dialog be changed to have the time "roll over" when using the arrows.

2. It would be nice to have a total entry number at the bottom of the Lights Table.

3. I could use a printout of the total Lights Table including On and Off times. Output would be to a file like a .csv file for entry into a program like Excel. I find it very useful to be able to sort on times On and Off. This is a good check to make sure that a bunch of lights are not turning on at the exact same time.

??Might be late October before a video is made.
