Please create an issue for it here:?

Locked Re: Ops - Using the Alternate Track #operationspro

 

One of the issues Jeff ran into when using the alternate track feature, was using the planned pickups for the spur that also needed an alternate track.? The combination of the alternate track feature and planned pickups caused the program to not move cars from the alternate to the spur once cars on the spur were pulled.? The latest test release now warns that the two feature should not be used together.

Locked Re: Decoder Pro/Hornby Elite communication problem #hornby

 

Hi there - I've managed to get the device manager information and had a second attempt at reading the CV's using the same method as before.

I got the same results, but watching closely what was happening,

I started by selecting "Direct Byte" - this gave the clicks and loco movement, a pause, the program switched itself to "Paged Mode", clicks and more loco movement (didn't count how many clicks and movements I'm afraid), then the error message "Timeout talking to command station (306)".

I've uploaded the following files into a folder "Decoder ProHornby Elite communicaion problem"
?"error 306 log file 20200120.pdf" = the error log and an image of the device manager window
"CVList Pannier 0064.pdf" the CV list for the loco used, in case its useful

As an absolute beginner I have followed this thread with great interest and I did initially have a problem with downloading the drivers, however my son in law who is conversant with that sort of stuff finally got me connected ok. What I would like to know is in your opinion which is the best way to hook up the usb interface. Do I power up the NCE Power Cab with the interface connected but the usb not connected to my laptop. Then start Panel Pro then Decoder Pro and finally connect the usb or which way is best? After all the controversy over this beating that sometimes there is a better procedure to follow. I sorry if this is over simplistic question but as I said I am very new and very old and just starting out with JMRI

?Inobu,

I've taken a look at the whole thread and now see things that have been buried beneath your speculation about the way NCE USB communications work. Four things stand out to me:

1) A complete absence of JMRI system log transcripts from either you or Larry. We need to see those in both the working and non-working cases.

2) An "Unable to connect on ttyxxxx" message is not pointing to an NCE communications issue but an operating system level issue with the USB port, unrelated to the way NCE does communications.

3) The statements "You only have to do this on the initial install", "(Leave the Power Cab unconnected)" and "Start JMRI Panel Pro. (It will try to configure itself and you will have to change some settings.)". This could point towards some issue in what I understand to be an auto-configuration script in Steve's RPi distributions.

4) A total lack of reporting of the behaviour of two important NCE USB status indicators; the USB and CAB indicator LEDs. These provide vital troubleshooting information to both Ken and I, particularly when accompanied by system logs.

We need to put aside your speculation about how NCE communications work, your speculation that "This seems to be an inherent problem with the Power Cab as well", any suggestion that users should adopt your quite clumsy "workaround" as the solution and you, me, Ken and Steve work cooperatively to solve this problem properly.

Inobu, the ball is in your court to provide logs of both the non-working and working cases, along with accompanying information about the NCE Status LEDs' behaviour. You have the hardware and knowledge to perform these tests so please help us solve this cooperatively.

Larry, if you can provide any logs as well, they'd be much appreciated.

You can only connect them by dragging the entire object (again, except for track segments).
OK. Thanks.? Nice to know... (add to documentation?)

If you make a turnout too small then trying to click an endpoint will click in its control circle instead. That may be what you're running into. Try turning on control circles (options menu -> turnouts) and maybe making them smaller.
Don't think that was my problem as I left original size and even zoom'd the layout to make sure what I was grabbing.


BTW: I find resizing relative to center annoying¡­ I'd much prefer the opposite anchor(s) stay stationary and only the point I'm dragging move. Thoughts?
I agree completely - when I grab one endpoint of a TO to stretch it, I don't want other parts of TO to move at all.

I don't think there's a good use for scale dimensions in the Layout Editor. I believe it isn't intended for scale representation of the layout, only a schematic. So, trying to make parts of it represent actual dimensions seems unnecessary and just a way to make entering the schematic more effort.

If someone has examples of how it would be useful, I'll gladly stand corrected.

Perhaps this should be a new topic.

Locked Ops - Using the Alternate Track #operationspro

 

?
(Was, Ops Feature Request)
?
With the release of 4.17.8, and reconfiguring a couple things here, I am now getting good car movement through multiple Alternate track scenarios.?
With the program being as dynamic as it is, thought I would share how I have Alternate tracks configured to work.?
?
Config Settings:
Spur track for unloading wood chips at a Location is buffered by an Alternate track (which is set as a Yard track type). Woodchip cars have Custom Loads and are utilizing a seperate Schedule at each end of woodchip movement Locations. Load Options are (same as Spur's Schedule) only allowing the specified loaded chip gons to the Alternate, and again at the unloading Spur. The Spur is set with Planned Pick Ups being Disabled.?
?
As cars arrive at their respective loading/unloading locations, they tend to have ebbs and flows where the Alternate track is not needed every time, so this now represents more how prototype movements roll.?
?
There is more, but thats the short version.?
Hopefully that is articulated well enough, and provides some kind of insight on how it is working for those unfamiliar...

Locked Re: Car Order #operationspro

 

Well you guys got me thinking here...
So we want a train to leave a main class yard in a blocked order, go to Staging, and come back onto the layout as a new Train, but in the same car order.

My layout is a continous loop with in-line staging, so here is my idea Im going to try in resolving this same problem here. I think it will work...

The C/I main yard builds a train and blocks it in order to head to "Staging" (but its Location tracks are actually configured as Spurs), and at this Location, there are "off layout" Spur tracks not to be printed configured in order from Trk 1-10. The program builds the train in order to drop the cars off in order at the "Staging" location. When the same train (with new Train ID) the next Ops sess is built to come out and head to the next C/I yard, it will build the cars in the same 10 blocks as they had arrived, since we will also name Tracks at the C/I with Tks 1-10. I am basically already doing this, but just have to expand on it a bit further to encompass the "blocking aspect" of it all.?
I think you can see the drift here for other similar scenarios.?
The one thing still missing is that the cars might not be in the same exact order, but the blocking will be retained. This is the important part since the train's return onto the layout needs to make setouts of those blocks enroute, and/or each block will be set out on specified yard track for whatever later Local/Turn builds off said C/I yard track (Trk 1-10). ?If say 5 cars go to trk 2, but those 5 are a different order than before going to "Staging", it is workable since all are going to be set out on the same track for pickup later anyway.?
