Do cab signals work with engine driver?

Randall to your question, I use the "Raildriver" under debug not the built in. I believe the linux setup is different.

Thank you Ken! I've set up my own home WIFI stuff...just wasn't wrapping my head around this.

Kevin,

Maybe Dave meant the 'Single CV Programmer', it is further down the list.

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.

I can confirm that the macOS version of RailDriver isn't working. I'll take a look probably later in the week.

Hello,

Can anyone suggest how to use one monitor with more than 1 panel? ?Is there a way to drop one panel and focus on another one, that is to say, to operate between 2 panels?

In the Roster page, under labels and icons, there are a row of small squares labeled ON and OFF. ?You are suppose to be able to "drop" icons ( pictures?) on these squares. ?These show up on your function buttons in place of the words. ?For example a horn or a bell picture. ?Great, but can not find how to implement the dropping of these icons. ?Can anyone suggest how you physically maneuver and drop these icons?

FYI the last column is a listing of radio buttons called "shunt". ?By selecting an unused button and enabling this button next to it, it alters your wii throttle from 1-100 to zero in the center and a bit of plus and minus on the throttle. ?Allows you to simply bump your speed needle up and down around "zero", for shunting your trains, which goes back to the Britts for decoupling and assembling train consists.

Thanks

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.

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.

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.

I have been discovered that i have a problem with my anchors and signal. The virtual signal are not working correctly at the end of each block. Four of the six work if need to sort out the last two . May start again with a previous file. Phil

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..


I don't have any issue with any of my other brand locos.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

I have an NCE PowerPro Command Station (CS02) connected to my notebook (Win10) running JMRI (4.18+r37). I was going to use one of my old WIFI routers to connect to use a cell phone to control trains on occasion. Well, they both seem to be well past their prime, so I retired them and will buy a new router. I'd like to do this as inexpensively as possible and am wondering if I need a MU-Mimo spec router.

My notebook is connected to the CS02 via 9-Pin Serial to USB cable connected to a Active USB 3.0 Extension cable (I had to go over a doorway) plugged into a 4-port USB 3.0 Hub. All seems to work fine, as I can use DecoderPro and can see my NCE throttles connected, etc.

I'm wondering about the connection to the WIFI router. Is that best done via Ethernet, or another USB connection? Will a MU-Mimo router help performance? Any recommendations on a WIFI router?

Thanks in advance!

Dan

I don't think any changes have been made to RailDriver since I implemented a version to work on macOS. The previous version (which worked on Windows but not macOS) is called "RailDriver (built in)"… the new one (for macOS) is just called "RailDriver".?
Next time I'm on the layout I'll check and see if the macOS one is still working.

Here is the information you have requested.? Let me know if you see anything out of the norm.? I will continue to investigate on my side.? Thanks…

Hallo,
want to set CVs for above decoder. Unfortunately there is no such decoder in "New Loco", only WSU LokSound 5.
Do I take that one?

The LokPilot 5 (and LokPilot 5 DCC) are recent releases. Unfortunately I haven't yet has time to create them (and enter the latest updates to LokSound 5 and LokSound 5 DCC).

For the time being using the non-sound panes of the LokSound 5 or LokSound 5 DCC should get you going.

Don't use the LokPilot 4 definitions, the underlying CV numbers are very different.

Tim,

Power loss and Derailments are catastrophic events. In the PC world a crash or dump file is created during these kinds of events. I'm not sure if you can?
address this issue in that you would have to save the data and then reconcile any lost data and then reload the data.

Root Cause Analysis would point to the "cause of derailments" and "intentional shut down" as being the cause of the issue.

It is an interesting point I want to see for myself.
