I ¡®suspect¡¯ the recommendation was for a 1,000 ohm resistor.? Possibly a typo.

?

This is a ¡®common¡¯ solution for programming Lenz, and Lenz manufactured OEM non-sound decoders on a DCS50.? The resistor was needed so the decoder would create the ¡®ACK¡¯ response on the programming track.?

?

I¡¯d not heard of this being needed with a ¡®Sound Value¡¯ decoder, but if it works so be it.? I think this ¡®trick¡¯ works on a DCS51 as well.

I'd think *VERY* carefully before adding a 1 ohm resistor. It's nearly a short.

Locked Re: Bachmann SV S4 Addressing

 

SoundValue decoders are based on the first gen? Tsunami decoders and all Digitrax systems had problems programing them.
The addition of a Soundtraxx PTB-100 was suggested.

One work around with the Zephyr was to use it in BLAST mode. This was not documented in the DCS50 but is documented in?
the DCS51 manual and applies to both DCS50 and DCS51: OPSW 07=blast mode.

The layout must be disconnected while in BLAST mode as programming is sent out on all track ouputs: prog and main.
The safer option is the PTB-100

Marc: I updated to the latest version 2 days ago, so it should recognise cv7=37, so that is curious.? But I thank you for your information - I will assume it is 76200.

Most likely, they said or meant a 1K ohm resistor.? That's the standard recommendation.

Sorry, CV 7 not CV 8, is 37.? And the problem is that DecoderPro does not recognise a decoder model from Uhlenbrock with that code.

CV7 could be = 37? and DecoderPro should offer the viable selections.

Bachmann S4? are Soundtraxx Soundvalue equiped. Sound comes up when power is applied to track.

You do not state what DCC Command Station involved. Your issue might be related to CV29 not being setup.

How are you going about the address change ?

Locked calling dispatcher from script #scripting #dispatcher

 

I am calling dispatcher from a jython script. The train starts and rtraverses the route, however I cannot get the train to slow down and stop.

I am using a speed profile and the train slows down and stops when called using the normal dispatcher.

I am calling the routine using

DF = jmri.InstanceManager.getDefault(jmri.jmrit.dispatcher.DispatcherFrame)

DF.loadTrainFromTrainInfo('T2_1.xml','ROSTER','diesel')

Where T2-1.xml is a normal xml file produced from dispatcher.

I presume that the stop command is called from an event when the train leaves the penultimate block, and I suspect I have not set a variable in the train info file which is normally set when calling the routine from dispatcher.

If i could be given a pointeras? to what extra variable(s)/routine(s) need to be called I would be grateful. I have downloaded the source and have tried to find the information, and experimented but failed dismally.

Thanks

Locked Bachmann SV S4 Addressing

 

Hello,

Anyone know if Bachmann SV Locomotives are not able to be assigned 4 digit addressing? I'm trying to address one to 5050. When I do, It has sound of the main engine, but won't move or do any functions. Set it back to 3 and it works great.

Suggestions please

Thanks

Locked Re: Accessory command not sent from SPROG II #sprog

 

As it's a USB connection you should never cycle the SPROG power without also restarting JMRI. The timeouts indicate that is taking a while for JMRI to receive replies. I've only seen this on slower systems such as Raspberry Pis. I don't think they are the problem.

Can you control turnouts if you set the SPROG to programmer mode?

Are you using the correct system name for the turnouts?

Write down what the warning message is and what choices you are presented with. Otherwise it's very hard to help.

If you can get JMRI far enough to access the system console, follow Marc's instructions so we can also see the system console log.

A matter if seconds.

But what I recall of 4.14 is it had a tendency of improper termination of JMRI in some? cases and LaucnhJMRI and JAVA would still be running but no JMRI related windows.?
We would see this via Task Manager when we tried to run JMRI on occasion.

When ever you RUN JMRI it uses "LaunchJMRI"? .? The update uses the same " LaunchJMRI " and falls because the app is all ready running.

Prior to initiating the prior update, I had quit the previous JMRI version. ?When all the associated Panel Pro Windows had disappeared from the desktop is when I initiated the 4.18 update process. ?It may appear that the older version was still running.

Locked Re: Issue with JMRI start up

 

There is no such device as a DCS150... In a previous post of yours you made the same mistake.

What you need to do is post the System Console log. Go into HELP, System Console. Copy to clipboard? and past (CTRL+V)? to this thread so people can view the log.

Quite possibly the answer is in the log.

The log will also indicate what other items you are loading.

Did you stop JMRI 4.14 ?? Did you try to run the update 4.18 while 4.14 was running ?? This will stop LaunchJMRI in it's tracks and fail the update.
