Locked Re: Getting throttle settings with LogixNG #logixng

Jos,

No, not currently. But you can use a Jython script to do that. Hopefully someone else will join in and give you an example on a Jython script for it.

I want to get the current train speed with LogixNG when Dispatcher is executing Transits.
I've learned that Memory variables can be queried with: memories.getMemory(<memory name>) so is there something similar for throttle data?

To get a build report for a train that has failed to build, just press the "Report" button for that train.

Hi both - thanks for this.

I upgraded yesterday and shortly afterwards encountered a new error! Well, at least that's progress!
?
Here's an excerpt from the JMRI logs - I'll upload them in their relative completeness.
?
It seems that JMRI now has a 2 minute timeout (as exactly 2 minutes prior to it disconnecting due to timeout, there is a log entry that's generated from receipt of an inbound MQTT message).
?
When it tried to reconnect, it went back into that cycle of exceptions and the UI froze.

Locked Re: Section in Auto-run transit retains state as Reverse on termination. #dispatcher #sections #transits

 

Hi,
Perhaps I should have elaborated on how I have things set up:
?
Jmri 5.6
Java 11.0.18
Windows 11
DCC Command station Merg via CBus
Sensors Merg via CBus
Turnouts via DCC?

I have set up multiple train info files to run auto trains around the layout from a storage yard and back to the storage yard. I run the trains from scrips as many of the routes are chained. I run Dispatcher with 'no signals'. I don't use speed profiles, preferring to use 'constant distance stopping' set up on my Zimo and ESU sound decoders.
?
The problem transits run a DMU shuttle from the Branch station around the layout to the Marlfield bay platform P3.

If two trains are too close on the layout one train will switch the crossing for it's Transit and shortly after the second train will switch the crossing back to satisfy it's Transit
This is a normal situation. Once one train allocates the crossing it will set the switch's. The other train will not be able to allocate the crossing until the first train has cleared and released it. So it will stop and wait at an appropriate point.

I use a Pricom Design "Layout Lighting Solution" (LLS) board as a DCC/DMX gateway. It connects directly to the DCC bus and translates turnout commands from JMRI to control DMX devices. It has an Ethernet web server where you configure the lighting scenes (dimming rate). I have panels in panel pro that control the whole mess. I divide the 24 hour day into 12 scenes and a Jython script automates the sequence. See attached. I'd be happy to share all the software/coding. You can probably get Bob at Pricom to come down on the price of the LLS. He is asking like $700 (yes, $700) but he gave me one for free (yes, free). This approach works very well for my needs.

Locked Re: Train entering multi track terminus

 

Dave,


The details about the JMRI objects are in the Javadocs:
Thank you. I took a quick look at the file this evening. That's what I was missing.

This list of "shortcuts" in the initial help page are the "managers" for common JMRI objects. For example, "sensors" referees to SensorManager which provides methods such as getSensor, provideSensor, etc. Other managers, such as for Dispatcher, don't have shortcuts.
That I had figured out. I'll be taking a much closer look tomorrow or the day after; especially to the format of the parameters used. By parameter I mean that the parameter in the line below is 'filename'.

infoFile = symbolTable.getValue('fileName')

I had only realized a coupe of weeks ago that the contents of the value column in the block table was the local ID of the locomotive in the Roster, if and only if, a certain column in the info.file was checked. This will make my life a bit less boring for a while. Problem is that I have other interests such as physics and that there is only 24 hours in a day.

I'll give "hello world" a start to see how inputs, outputs and error messages behave with out using libraries. I also have a little idea the the Python concept of dictionaries might be of some use in changing keyword values in the info.xml file.

We shall see.

Thanks for your example and your help

Hi Dan,

In my OperationPro 'settings', both 'auto save', and 'auto backup' have been selected.
?
I 'restored' an 'auto backup' file previous to 24-07-30.? Now I can make changes in Car, Routes, Locos, and Locations, and they are saved - progress.? I have repeatedly made changes, and they continue to save.? I check in my date files and the 'date modified' are also updating in all files as I make the changes.

I currently remain with one apparent problem.?

Another oddity is the when I reset and save the train it doesn't displace 'current location' on the 'Trains' window.? Any suggestions??

David,

"I would use a script to start the train using the train info file.? There are options to override some of the defined fields, such as the DCC address or roster entry. "

That's what I hoped you wouldn't say. I've done a fair lot of programming in my life (I'm 84). A bit in Python. So I'll bite the bullet and start off with "Hello world.".

What bother me is the lack of documentation, or at least I haven't been able to find it, on the parameters for the object programming. For example both sensors and turnouts are used as objects, one has the parameters sensors.provideSensor and roughly the same for turnouts.
??
Is there a list of libraries some place with their list objects and their object parameters, besides the
How to which is only some what helpful?

I saw an example of how to read a file. Considering the development work, it would seem to me that there would be in some place routines on how to read and write keyword definitions in a file. How to find them ??
