Re: Actually getting Raildriver working (on windows) How to Calibrate???
#raildriver
Bob J,
I believe the ReDACIOModule was used for the full-size AAR control stand that PI Engineering produced.? It is quite different than the desktop Rail Driver.

I don¡¯t think JMRI has a calibration menu for the RailDriver. There used to be a little Windows program that could do the calibration, but I don¡¯t know where to get that now.
There are two files in the JMRI distribution that carry calibration data:
xml/jinputDevices/ReDACIOModule.xml
xml/jinputDevices/RailDriverModernDesktop.xml
I don¡¯t know why there are two.

Vimal,
After you start PanelPro, you need to load the stored xml file using "File -> Load table content and panels".

Ken,
You have 4 signal masts using the "DCC Signal Mast Decoder".
Since you mention having a SE74, I looked at the manual for the device. ?One of the options is to use "DCC Aspect control" instead of the traditional SE8C turnout control. ?In JMRI terms, this is the "DCC Signal Decoder" option for signal head appearances.
Note: ?In JMRI, signal masts have aspects, such as Clear. ?The aspect is the meaning based on one or more signal heads. ?Signal heads have appearances, such as green.
As a test, I created four DCC Signal Decoder signal heads starting at 100. ?I am assuming the SE74 base address is 100. ?I then "moved" the user names from the SE8C heads to the DCC heads. ?After a store/stop/start/load, I tested closing turnout 1. ?The SML changed the signal mast aspects which then changed the signal head appearances which then sent the appropriate command to the LocoNet.
Requesting Switch at LT1 to Closed (Output On).
Requesting Switch at LT1 to Closed (Output Off).
Extended Accessory Decoder Set Digitrax Address 103 (NMRA Address 99) to Aspect 0.
Extended Accessory Decoder Set Digitrax Address 102 (NMRA Address 98) to Aspect 1.
Extended Accessory Decoder Set Digitrax Address 100 (NMRA Address 96) to Aspect 1.
Note: ?The signal masts refer to the signal head user names. ?This makes the change to the signal head connection transparent.

Good morning, Dave
?
Thank you again for your thoughts.
I am using an SE74 and only have physical signals at four locations.?
I read on another post that all of the turnouts should be set up even though they don't physically have signal masts.?
I changed all the signal masts last night and still have the same original problem. I started working on turnout 01 and it has the same problem.?
I do have sectors established so I will need to correct those but nothing further.?
Also using BDL168, PR4, DCS52, 2DS64, 2DS74 all Kato track and turnouts, Digitrax signals.?
I hope this helps.?

Daniel,
Thank you for identifying my oversight.
I have confirmed that calling the public getActiveTrainsList() method works as expected. ?It creates a LogixNG array of active train objects.
The goal is to create a module that takes the train name and returns the current speed. ?This can be used instead of calling a Jython script.

Dave,
The method DispatcherFrame.getSignalTypeString() is protected.
And since LogixNG is executing Java methods from a different
package, it's not possible for LogixNG to access that method.
I'm surprised Jython can do it. It seems that Jython in some way
circumvent Java protected status.
The solution is to change the method getSignalTypeString() to
public. Maybe other methods in that class should be made public as
well?

Dave,
> For Dispatcher, the DispatcherFrame class is both the

Can you explain this?
Create a ConditionalNG that calls the InstanceManager to get
the instance of DispatcherFrame and put it in a local
variable. Then use LogLocalVariables with show class name.
What class name do you get?

It could be done using LogixNG except for one problem.
The "InstanceManager" function normally returns a manager
object, for example using a formula such as:
mgr = InstanceManager.getDefault("jmri.Sensor")
where "mgr" is a local variable. ?For Dispatcher, the
DispatcherFrame class is both the Dispatcher manager and the

No, not currently. But you can use a Jython script to do

example on a Jython script for it.

Re: Precise position of trains and maneuvers automation
I¡¯d be interested in hearing more about work with sonic GPS. A while back, there was a commercial system called ¡°RPS¡± that did this. It worked really well but the electronics was bulky and it had a large transmitter that was pretty ugly on top of the locomotive. It even had JMRI support: Unfortunately, the owner passed. Somebody, I don¡¯t recall who, bought the system and was going to try to repackage the transmitter, but I don¡¯t think anything came of that. Perhaps the time has come for this tech!

Re: Adding Consist Column to DecoderPro Roster Screen
#roster
All,
?
In addition to creating a column to manually keep track of consist locos (I use this to note the Advanced Consist Address)), I suggest creating a Group to organize consisted locos. That will give you a way to show only consisted locos, in addition to sorting them by consist address.
?
I actually use yet another column (I call Category) to sort locos according to my preference, which is without regard to any alphanumeric order any other column might provide.

Can you explain this?
Create a ConditionalNG that calls the InstanceManager to get
the instance of DispatcherFrame and put it in a local
variable. Then use LogLocalVariables with show class name.
What class name do you get?

It could be done using LogixNG except for one problem.
The "InstanceManager" function normally returns a manager
object, for example using a formula such as:
mgr = InstanceManager.getDefault("jmri.Sensor")

No, not currently. But you can use a Jython script to do

Bob I have considered this solution too, but the installation of the camera could be a problem. It need to be stable and it need space.

What about the railway GPS for model railroads (I think there¡¯s a beta test of that now) using a sonic transmitter in the locomotive and several receivers around the room. You can calculate the position in 3-space from the transmission time to each receiver.
?
And add in JMRI OpsPro ¡ª if JMRI is building the trains you know the cars in each train and the length of each car.

Re: Precise position of trains and maneuvers automation
# What I planned to do
After passing a looooot of time documenting the state of the art on the
hardware side, and evaluating the few detection methods that are

develop.
The majority of methods that I have documented only detect the passing of
a train or a block occupation. The only few that directly measure the
precise position are either impracticable in some situation or completely
vanished.
So, I decided to use 2 consecutive IR detectors, working by reflection
against the train, to measure speed. By using the raw value of the
detectors, I also hope to detect where begin and end each vehicle and
where the coupling are. Or even each vehicle signature. Then, using a
modified JMRI, calculate the exact position of the train and where each
vehicles and coupling are.
Of course, this only work if trains maintain their speed after the
detectors, or only stop and restart. But, I could also use the speed
values measured by the detectors to build a speed table of each
locomotive. And then use these tables to estimate new speed in case of
speed change.
After having the precise position of the trains and wagons, I planned to
modify JMRI add what miss to manage train composition and de-composition,
and wagon distribution, from a high level interface with abstraction of
the moving management needed for each maneuver.

Re: Precise position of trains and maneuvers automation
Hello,
So, after reading a lot of the JMRI online manual, lot of articles and
watching a lot of videos, I have still some difficulties to understand
to which extend JMRI already do what I wanted to develop myself.
# What I need to do
I want to add some precision to what I need to develop.
But to not make it to complex, I will also re-explain what I need to
develop.
So, for the bachelor work I need to do for the school, I have to develop
something that can:
"Automate train movement by detecting their precise location."
By "automate movement", they mean regular service and maneuver. Especially
composing and de-composing trains, and distribute wagons on different
tracks.
By "detecting precise location", they mean with 2 to 3 cm accuracy. And,
as the system need to maneuver the vehicles composing the trains, it need
to detect position, beginning and end of each of these vehicles.
Including the position of the couplings.
I can use any solution, but I am not allowed to:
* Cut the track into pieces
* Re-do something who is already seen as state of the art
For obtaining the train position, I measure it or calculate it from
other measured values.
The state of the art including hardware and software made by railway
model makers. Whether they are companies or hobbyists.
# What I planned to do
After passing a looooot of time documenting the state of the art on the
hardware side, and evaluating the few detection methods that are
available and not in the state of the art: I've finally decided what to
develop.

and wagon distribution, from a high level interface with abstraction of
the moving management needed for each maneuver.
# Is JMRI already capable of all of this??
In my long documentation of state of the art, I've forgotten to check
the state of the art for the software side. Because the solution I?have
chosen use a software to calculate the train position and automate all
movements.
By reading the JMRI manual [1], I have seen that it can detect train
location when they entering a bloc. And all other positional information
can be calculated with at must the track speed of the train and the
length of the path.
But what kind of position calculation?? Is it only a point of the map??
Or is it also the beginning and the end of the train with position of
each coupling??
From where the track speed of the train come from?? Also by using 2
consecutive detectors??
Is this calculation can use the length of the train?? If yes, from where
this information come from??
I have also seen that the JMRI Dispatcher System could automate train
control [2]. But it only control the movement from point A to point B
and executing pre-written script at point A or B??
In the manual of the dispatcher, I didn't found a more high level
control. Like, you choose which wagon and locomotive compose the train
and JMRI will automatically do the maneuver to build the train and then
send it to the next station where JMRI will distribute the wagons on
different tracks. From what I understand, all the maneuver need to be
scripted in advance. Or did I miss something??
Before starting to develop anything, I need to know if JMRI, or any
other software, can already do what I plan to do, in the way I plan to
do it. Because if it's the case, I cannot do what I plan and need to
found another way.
The only other software I know is TrainController. But from what I
understand, it only do train position based on block occupancy
detection.

Hello,
I have a few questions.
Does JMRI can deduce the precise location of a train from its speed, it's size and a few object detectors ?
If yes:
* With which precision ?
* Does JMRI can use train precise location to automate the maneuvers, including uncoupling and train formation ?
Do you know of other software than JMRI who can do that ?
For my diploma work for engineering, I need to develop a system that can measure, or deduce, the precise location of a train, with a precision
of 2-3 cm.
Then, using this location, the system need to automate the maneuvers, including uncoupling and train formation.
But before developing this system, I need to document what's already exist in the field of model making. And then found a new way of doing
it.
I'm only allowed to develop something that nobody have already done.
For the detectors, it's seems that model makers have already done every possibilities.
Including using 2 objects detectors to measure speed (and JMRI already have a speedometer).
For positon deduced from other data, I have seen that JMRI already have a Train Tracker [1].
But, as I have only used the Decoder Pro until now, I don't know if the Train Tracker correspond to what I'm asked to develop or not.
Best regards.
PS: If my diploma work can be done, I plan to release the result software and hardware as free (as in freedom) software and hardware.
And all the documents in similar licence. And if it implies modifying JMRI, I would be very happy to send my modifications as contribution
to JMRI.

Steve,
What happens is that Dispatcher for transit#1 sets the crossing to thrown fro train#1? then immediately after transit#2 for train#2 causes the crossing to be set to closed. This is before train#1 has passed the crossing.
?
I have figured out that the logic for one of the signal heads at the crossing was incomplete and needed to watch the second leg of the crossing. Once I corrected that the crashes stoped from happening.
?
However when the above scenario happens both trains now stop at the crossing. If I manually toggle the crossing one train proceeds and when it has cleared the section the second train proceeds.?
?
The ConditionalNG I want to write is to automatically toggle the crossing and get the trains to continue to run automatically.
Dave's sample script and ConditionalNG looks like what I need for this.
Thanks,
Jos
?

Dave,
The variable from the Block value is a string which is the train's roster name.
The ConditionalNG uses the Throttle-command to start and stop the train.
