Re: Making VSD Files and Config - Volume question

Thanks Klaus.? I worked with my audio files (as you thought, the original was 44100, not 47k like I said, and they were stereo which may have been the real problem), added some more notches (I guessed at what it would sound like), made Accel and Deccel sounds, added those new notches to my config and tried again.? A new file is uploaded to ProblemsBeingWorkedOn/Phil Abernathy with a small write-up of the loco.You're welcome, Phil. Sorry, I forgot to mention that the files have to be mono. You can use stereo files, but not for the engine sound. All of these sounds (start and stop, notches, accel, decel sounds) must be mono and must have the same frequence. That's all correct in your uploaded VSD files. The file size should not prevent you from using 16 bit files (it is an advantage of a computer to handle large files). Try e.g. EMD_645_Turbo.vsd to hear the difference. But it's harder to get good 16 bit sounds on the web! And you're right, in the end the typical sound character is important. I am still working on how to make the prime mover stop/start when I send an F8 (mute) function (I have it auto start now).? In fact, when I review my config file, I don't see what Starts or Stops the engine (I use the button on the VSD Manager Pop-up, but do not see that button mentioned in the file).If I understand this right, you want to be able to start/stop the engine by a throttle function key, e.g. F8. You can do this in config.xml: <trigger name="ENGINE_STARTSTOP" type="THROTTLE"> <event-name>F8</event-name> <target-name>ENGINE</target-name> <action>NOTHING</action> </trigger> This must be declared in the tag sound-event name="ENGINE". I would love for someone familiar with the prototype to weigh in on the sounds though: I just guessed.Unfortunately, I don't know the prototype. Maybe somebody else will respond. Maybe you can find some examples on YouTube. I am hoping to try this at the Club within the next 2 weeks, along with my new SQ23 camera.That sounds good. There may still be time for fine tuning.

Re: Sluggish native panel response time compared to web
Randall
Thanks for the background - I should have know that this problem was above my pay grade! Based on your suggestion I ran Windows within VirtualBox (the nearest I have to a Windows machine) and installed v4.16 JMRI to do a comparison. As you say the response is different - the windows native panel offers a more immediate response. We're only talking fractions of a second here, but it is noticeable. This is even though it is operating as a VM within the same desktop machine. The VM is running:
Thanks for your help Andy |

If you have a computer running DecoderPro, it can't magically talk to a loco on your layout to drive and/or program it. You must have some brand/model of command station and booster to enable you to drive trains or to use DecoderPro. You can't just plug two wires into some place on your computer and connect them to your track! You have to have some sort of DCC system for powering your trains/driving them/connecting to the computer. Please go to DecoderPro's Edit->Preferences->Connections screen and it will have some information about the brand/model of command station you are connected to. Maybe someone else can explain this better to Russ. Dave in Australia |

Arduino, JMRI, and relay-controlled turnouts
Jared Nichols
Hi all-
I’ve been at this for a bit, so I thought I’d just throw it out there and say that if you’ve got twin-coil type turnout motors (like the Peco PL-10 or PL-11) and you’re trying to drive them with relays and use JRMI/Arduino to control them, I’ve got the solution for you. Basically, you’ll need a spare Arduino and utilize CMRI. I’m attaching the sketch I made for it. If you’ve been struggling with this or are curious, let me know and I’ll be happy to share what I’ve learnt. j - Jared F. Nichols bmwftw@... Sent from my iPad Pro |

Re: DecoderPro Preferences folder is empty
Dave, My virus protection is from Spectrum/previously Charter Communications & is labeled F-Secure. This path is what my virus protection has allowed thru as a "private? network" C:\users\munros\appdata\local\temp\launchjmri\decoderpro3.exe? Here is another listing from the "Windows Defender Firewall\Monitoring tab:" <SNIP> <SNIP> Status was out on the end of the line & both lines had a Status of OK. Is there any place else to look for a list of blocked apps - which I found none listed as blocked? Is there any thing "special" about running the same exe a second time? Such as the roster files getting blown out of the water? Just to be safe, I will make a copy of them off line on a thumb drive(s).

The CTC tutorial has been uploaded the groups file area. ?/g/jmriusers/files/CTC_Tutorial.jmri.zip This is a complete profile with panels, demo content, the tutorial PDF file. ?If the file is unzipped and the resulting profile is placed next to existing profiles, the JMRI profile selector should see it. ?If you have the selector disabled, use Preferences >> Config Profiles to find it. You can also just copy the panel xml files, the PDF document and the ctc directory to an existing profile.

Could this be some kind of timing error?
On the CV's tab, I found that all values came up in yellow.? When from the CVs, reading any single value on CV's between 1-256, most of the time the reads work successfully.? Sometimes I'll get a 308, but when retrying, it usually works - eventually it does. Trying to read any value from 1257-3258, reads will not complete successfully. If I try to run "Read full sheet", although some values retrieve successfully, many come back red/Unknown.? I can go to any value 1-256 and successfully read the value successfully and clear the Unknown condition.? None of the 1257-3258 CVs can be cleared. Has anyone else experienced this?? I suspect it could be related to the other 308 error I've been experiencing. Thanks, Russ |

"LaunchJMRI.exe" is the file usually targeted by some antivirus software every time we update it. Install again with your antivirus software temporarily disabled, or sometimes your antivirus will ask/warn you about "LaunchJMRI.exe" and you can tell it to accept it.
