Re: Issues with Engine Driver
Steve,
Had a chance to check the issue that resulted in the Github issues
shown below and the problem has been corrected.
Thanks!

Update:
Marshall added user names to his turnouts to address that issue.
He provided his panel as an example of the label rotation issue
and the crossover appearance issue.
I have created Github issues and to investigate
and address those.

There's another thing I've noticed too is when you're changing icons and searching in the directories for them, the window sizes have to be adjusted each time to view them better.? Was wondering if those issues are being considered also?? I don't know a thing about writing programs, so I haven't a clue what is and isn't possible.
And I'm not trying to be a complainer by no means.... I do appreciate all the time and effort the developers put into this.? It's a great program which adds a lot of enjoyment to the hobby for sure. And yes, I do plan to help with donations as we are all encouraged to do so.
I want to thank everyone involved in making this program available!...?

Allen and George: Can you please see if the "RailDriver (Built In)" throttle works for you?
A code review suggests that "RailDriver" menu item runs to a script that I would not expect to work (because it relies on some no longer maintained code that JMRI developers do not have access to) and the "RailDriver (Built In)" menu item runs the code George wrote. If George's code is broken, we can fix it, but fixing the other code is not possible.

Hello; you must drop an image file (not drag and drop from a browser image window), use browser save to file feature, then drag and drop the saved file to the 'square', the image file will be copied in your JMRI preferences, no need to keep the original. Regards; Lionel

Re: reporter failing to update memory after track power is restored
#reporters
Hi Many thanks
I will do some coding to eliminate the problem for now, however it would make more sense if a reporter updated the memory value in a block when the memory block was different, not when the value the reporter already holds is different, After all it is the memory value that gets passed from block to block.

You can place more than one panel on the monitor, just leave parts of each visible so you can easily switch between them. My web site at
shows the Conrail and Quaker Valley panels I have on a 21 inch touch screen monitor.

Bob,
Can explain the panel question in more detail? ?Normally a click on a panel will bring it to front. ?
Are the panels created using Layout Editor, Panel Editor or Control Panel Editor? ?

Re: Wireless and MU-Mimo and NCE with JMRI
Dan,
I think you meant should the computer connect to the router via ethernet or
wi-fi (you had said USB). I try to have the computer connect via ethernet if
possible, I view it as fighting yourself if the computer is using wi-fi as
all the traffic is in the air twice.
Not sure about the router spec. Biggest thing is how many devices will
connect to the router via wi-fi at the same time. Even if some are not
throttles, the router is keeping track of them. A dedicated router just for
the layout, just use a password so you have to setup each device that needs
it and only those devices. Fancier routers become important for clubs and
large layout with lots (like more than 5) devices.

? The two lines above confirm that you have the JMRI baud rate and jumper settings correct. The "7.3.0" response comes from the NCE USB, so JMRI is talking to the NCE USB and it is talking back. That is good. Under no circumstances make changes to JMRI or jumper settings, that will just set you back. - Make sure the Power Cab is still plugged into the left hand PCP socket and that the track power LED on the PCP is on. - The NCE USB can be plugged into either remaining socket, using either a 4 wire cable or a flat 6 wire cable. - Start JMRI and check the log for that "7.3.0" report. - If all is well with that "7.3.0" report, go to Actions->Simple Programmer. Now try reading a CV in Direct Mode. Closely watch all LEDs - the LED on the PCP should flash off briefly as the Power Cab enters program track mode. - the LED marked USB and the LED marked CAB BUS should both flash briefly one or more times, but neither should lock up. - the Read should succeed and the LED on the PCP should flash off briefly as the Power Cab exits program track mode. Please observe carefully and report back, with the accompanying log.

Re: Items needed to set up a programming track
From my limited experience, I have a NCE Power Pro. It has a rs232 9-pin female socket to which I connect to my serial / usb cable to my RbPi3B+. ?As you know in JMRI you select either programming on the MAIN or Programming track. ?This relates to the NCE command station. ?There is a plug to connect your 2 wires to your main track.....and another small connector for 2 additional wires you wire up to a separate piece of track.
This can either be an insulated siding on the layout or a board about 4 feet long with a length of track on it.
Keep in mind that you can not read a decoder on the main - -only write to it.
On the programming track you can do both.
So as long as you have told JMRI about your decoder in your loco, and to go to the programming track, you should be able to write and read. ?What decoder you have does not matter - JMRI sorts it out.
That is to say - the MAIN is your layout, and the Programming track is that little separate section. ?There are only the 2.

Re: reporter failing to update memory after track power is restored
#reporters
Tim,
It is common for many of JMRI's "objects" (i.e. Sensors, Turnouts, etc.) to _ignore_ attempts to set a value if the object already has that value. JMRI's code does this intentionally for a variety of reasons that can vary by object type, system type, code maintainer "whim", etc.
It would _not_ surprise me if any of the JMRI "Reporter" implementations has this behavior. It would _not_ surprise me if any one of the JMRI "Reporter" implementations did _not_ have this behavior.
Determining whether you are working with a "Reporter" implementation which has this behavior will require some JMRI developer to look into the code implementation _for the mechanism you are using_.
If it is determined that the particular implementation you are using actually has this "ignore any attempt to change the object state to the identical value" behavior, then it may be necessary for _you_ to implement something that works around the problem _you_ see - perhaps something like Logix that is triggered upon short-circuit and clears the values for any reporters in the power district which had the short. Or _you_ will need to convince a JMRI developer that the current behavior is wrong and that all JMRI users of that feature need it to behave the way you would like.

Billybob

Re: reporter failing to update memory after track power is restored
#reporters
Hi i would disagree as to the power fail as being the cause of the issue, yes the power fail causes JMRI to clear the memories as one would expect as all track sensors go inactive as trains can not been seen. I can simulate this by turning the power off temporarily with a relay, Its as if the train has been physically removed as far as JMRI is concerned. The issue is that the reporter retains the previous read at power off as its value, when the power is restored this value is still retained. As the same train is again passed over the sensor the reporter fails to report the value to the memory block if the value it sees is the same as that it already has as its value. If the value? of the reported ID tag is different than that the reporter holds it is reported to the memory. I have checked this many times watching the memory, block and reporter values as the train travels around both before and after the track power is interrupted. My hunch is that the reporter is checking the read value aginst that it already holds and if it matches it is assuming that the memory should hold the value so fails to update it.

Doing anything to a BLI SD40-2 w/Paragon 3 via JMRI - fails
Running PowerCab 1.65b with JMRI 4.18 on Raspberry Pi3b+.? The loco is a BLI SD40-2 with Paragon 3 Using DecoderPro, the loco is alone on the program track and I get a "Programmer error: No locomotive detected (301)" error if I try to read any CV.? While I can change CVs using the PowerCab, I was hoping to document the CV settings in the BLI in case I needed to recreate in the future. If I try to setup a new loco in DecoderPro, JMRI reports the same 301 error after trying to read several CVs. This is the NCE Command Monitor log when trying to read CV1 that ends with displaying the 301 error..
