Attachments get stripped, so none of your logs showed up,

Cut & Paste the third log? to the thread.

Locked Verify Initial Setup

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I have attached three logs. The first one is with just JMRI running Decoder Pro 3, with no connection to the cab buss.

The second is also with Decoder Pro running, but just connected to the cab buss - no commands attempted.

The third file is with Decoder Pro running, paged mode, programming track mode, and new loco>read the decoder selected.

The OS is Windows XP, and the usb is the NCE adapter. This all worked a couple of years ago. Maybe dust overload?? :-)

Peace,

Mike G.

Yes. There's no point making further comments until I see that. It answers a lot of questions you can't.

Locked Trouble loading PanelPro panels

 

Hello all:
We are seeing a strange issue when initializing PanelPro. When we include the panels as part of the configuration start up, the panels load and display but the PanelPro main window never opens.? We have to ctrl-alt-del and end the java task. If we allow Panel Pro to load without the panels, PanelPro starts correctly. We go to the Panel menu and load the panels from there.? Everything then works correctly (and well).? What is this behavior telling me?

Locked Re: Engine Driver not Discovering Server #enginedriver

 

Thanks Jim!

I made an image file of my 'working' JMRI so I can easily go back. Then tried 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' in lieu of 'sudo apt upgrade'. Autoremove, then a reboot.

WiFi icon steady, and all works perfect! WiThrottle server is automagically discovered and Engine Driver connects easily!

I have no clue why one method would work over the other, but I wouldn't have thought to try it if not for your suggestion. I am very appreciative! Off to do yet another backup!

Many thanks,
Scott

Yes I saw the file manager fix but the chatter was other things were broken too... Trash wouldn't open either... That's why I wondered about your problem is mixed in the mess there.

No WiFi is normal, XX, scan, blink then solid.

The dist-upgrade looks at libraries and links to new ones... Further reading suggests an apt-get autoremove after the upgrade... I've seen it said that it's always nice to know that there 10 ways to do the same thing in Linux yet it's the 11th that actually works...

Umm, reading through the release notes on the web page, under 'Known problems for this release' it refers to JMRI 4.11.8. I presume this is a copy and paste error and should refer to 4.18? Note the link is also to 4.11.8.

Subject: [jmriusers] Test version 4.17.7 of JMRI/DecoderPro is available for download

Test version 4.17.7 of JMRI/DecoderPro is available for download.

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

We're getting close to the end of the development series, so we'd appreciate feedback on whether or not this release works for your layout.

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: <>

For more information on the issues, new features and bug fixes in 4.17.7 please see the release note:
<>

Note that JMRI is made available under the GNU General Public License. For more information, please see our copyright and licensing page.

Thanks Sam,

I can reproduce, so I should be able to fix this in the next test release.? The replace also reverts the load priority, and both load messages. So the replace needs a bit of work.

Locked Re: Test version 4.17.7 of JMRI/DecoderPro is available for download

 

Fairly low priority, but when replacing certain types of custom loads in Ops, the load type is not retained. This seems limited to load type "Empty".

Example: I have the custom load MT, load type Empty, for my empty loads rather than using the default "E". I am in the process of changing all MT loads over to -(Empty) using the replace function in the edit loads window. I select the old MT load and type in the new -(Empty) load. I click on the 'replace' button, affirmatively acknowledge the replacement, and -(Empty) replaces MT. The load type of -(Empty) is now a load rather than empty. It would appear that the replace load function is understandably hardwired to regard custom loads as, well, loads. Another example of an empty load that isn't a load is an idler car.

Locked Signals using Light-Its

 

I use JMRI V4.17.5 with Java V1.8.0 on a laptop with Windows 10, use NCE Power Pro with V2007a, and have a separate booster for each of two accessory busses that have attached to them over 40 Switch-Its and over 100 Light-Its that drive single- and double-head masts (SHM and DHM).? Layout Editor is used for a schematic of the track along with the signals.? The signal aspect is currently set manually by the dispatcher.

To make sure all signals are set to a known aspect, the following script is used with additional lines added as needed for the other SHM and DHM:

?# File: All Signals Red2.py

import jmri

import java

class setStartup(jmri.jmrit.automat.AbstractAutomaton) :?????

?? def init(self):

???? return

?? def handle(self):

??? Normal = "Unlit"????? # single head mast

??? Normal2 = "Unlit"??? # double head mast

??? for cnt in range (1,3):

????????? if cnt==2: Normal = "Stop"

????????? if cnt==2: Normal2 = "Stop"

????????? print "Start Set Signals", Normal, Normal2

????????? masts.getSignalMast("MP101 101LA").setAspect(Normal)??? ?????# single head mast

????????? self.waitMsec(300)

????????? masts.getSignalMast("MP101 101RAB").setAspect(Normal2)? ??# double head mast

????????? self.waitMsec(300)

# additional lines like the previous 4 lines are inserted here for the remaining masts

??? print "End of Set Signals"

??? return False???????????? # all done, don't repeat again

setStartup().start()?? ???# create one of these, and start it running

?

The SHM and top heads of the DHM are reset.? The problem is that some of the lower heads for the DHM do not get set.? However, when these heads are exercised from the track panel or from a Pro Cab or from the Signal Mast table, the lights work.? The lower heads are not always the same ones when the script is executed again.

I am wondering if this is a timing issue, that is, perhaps the lower head is sent a command by JMRI before the command station is able to respond?? What can be done to solve this problem?

?Thanks for your help.

Locked Re: Engine Driver not Discovering Server #enginedriver

 

Interesting Jim. I'm not going to gamble for now as everything is working perfectly. Although, after the last 48 hours, I am an expert on getting from a fresh SD card to my preferred JMRI status, rosters and profiles in about 20 minutes or less.

To fix the file manager thing for next time, it's super easy as I've run into this myself...

sudo apt-get install --reinstall pcmanfm

Well, considering you have about the same setup as me, I'm not sure what my issue is. I didn't do a dist-upgrade, just sudo apt upgrade. I can't imagine they are that different. Does your wifi icon do anything different after upgrading? Mine went from a steady icon to a flashing one, and from displaying my ip addresses on mouseover to just the ssid. I cannot find anything online about any upgrades breaking the wifi in buster, either. But if I upgrade, I get the same issues. I'm not sure what package or firmware is causing it. I'm using just a straight stock RPi4, the 4GB version.

I'm tempted to just try a fresh new microsd card as well. But for now, everything functions perfectly. So I won't touch it. (ok, maybe.)

Thanks,
Scott

The Test version JMRI 4.17.7 solved the problem. I read the info on the test version and it suggested to use the older one.

Thank you for the help.

When you're editing routes you can select (one) turnout trigger or 3 (4?) sensor triggers.

Actually¡­ I was able to do this completely with routes:
IR1: turnout 1 closed sets turnout 2 thrown
IR2:?turnout 2 thrown sets turnout 3 closed
IR3:?turnout 3 closing sets turnout 1 closed

Scott:

Finding that *my* problem came back after I did update/upgrade I wonder...

My problem is that the file manager won't open but rather blinks open and then closes... Researching on line there are others who had the same problem. I thought it was my adding a hardware real time clock module but no it's an update/upgrade problem. I will note that the update/upgrade fixes a lot of other stuff... especially dual monitors...

Fix suggested was to do a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and that fixed my file manager problem. I wonder if you'll gamble on breaking JMRI again the extra step then might fix your problem..?
