I have a 2012 iMac with Java 8 and DecoderPro running version 4.26.

?

I have a Digitrax PR4 attached to a programming track and I have a Sprog 2 attached to a second programming track.

?

I would like to try to sort the Digitrax DN163K1B decoder first. ?I converted the loco back to DC and it runs fine in forward and reverse. ?

?

When I install the DCC card, DN163K1B, the locomotive will only run forwards.?

There is a? bug, well not a bug, there was no code at all to deal with Double X Over. I have a fix for it. Should be done by EOD.

Allow me some time to reproduce the problem.

?

I guess there is a bug, any chance to get an output log?

?

Even if the system hangs, once crashed, after reboot, do not start JMRI and look for files named session.log and messages.log in your ~/.jmri/log folder (being on a rpi, I assume a linux path). If you can back both, it would help.

?

Thank you;

Ken,

If you could upload your current layout config xml data file to the group's ProblemsBeingWorkedOn file folder I can provide better recommendations for the next steps.

Jos,

The current configuration has four blocks that include track segments assigned to the four crossover connections. ?That means there are four segments that share a single turnout address "pin30/31 #1-Crossing".?

For example, a train is running from E-Outer to S-Inner with the crossover thrown. ?Another train needs to allocate E-Inner heading towards S-Inner. ?The allocation occurs since there are no apparent conflicts and the crossover is closed.

The solution is to have separate blocks and sections for each straight route, such as X-Inner and X-Outer. ?This way the first train is using E-Outer, X-Outer, X-Inner and S-Inner. ?The second train can allocate E-Inner but has to wait to allocate X-Inner and close the turnout.

Bump - Any hints on consisting and saving/loading throttles layout?

Hi all,

?

Been struggling with getting the DCC Concepts Aegis to receive throttle commands via Decoder pro throttles.

?

Currently tried having the NCE USB interface in EXT1 as I run a two cab setup (one wired master, one wireless via the "puck") and whilst it would show as online, no commands were being received.

?

I'm assuming it's going to be something simple (e.g run the main cab out to a PCP/UTP/WFD31 then to the master and USB) but any guidance would be appreciated.

?

On the computer front, I have tried with both my Windows 10 and Windows 11 machines to nil change and copied the settings for the USB interface over from the test track it was previously attached to under Powercab.

?

I have not been logging my operations sessions and now in hindsight, I want to track the trains run at each session.

?

Is there a JMRI log that records all the terminated trains in Operations Pro that I could parse the historical data?

?

Thanks in advance

Ah!? I will try that!

Ross,

The JMRI Help page for installing on Windows was updated today. ?It would be helpful if you could review the change to make sure that I got the details correct.

Dave Sand

Lou,

Are you using a 3rd party anti-virus package? ?If so, which one?

The help page that was updated today describes the steps required for Microsoft Defender.

If you could provide a screenshot of the message that you see, someone might be able to help.

I have been a JMRI user from the days of the infamous lawsuit... Happenings of the last two years have kept me out of Model Railroading and JMRI.? Trying to restart with a new location and layout.

?

I tried to download the latest test version of JMRI to a new WIN 11 laptop.....

I tried to follow the steps to "trust" the downloaded file but nothing on my computer resembled the instructions I got from the helpful web...?

?

Is there a straight forward set of instructions for downloading and installing JMRI on WIN 11?

?

Lou DeHayes

I found it in the "basic Fx" group.

Some simple decoders do not have read enabled. And the definition has 0 in CV7/8, so nothing JMRI can read to get the version.

This has happened to me a few times, as recently as a couple of days ago.? In my case inevitably it is because I have made some change to the properties of the classification track and it no longer accepts this type of car for various reasons.? Fixing the classification track properties resolves the issue.??

Currently, when I build the train (YB10) it will typically leave the yard with the 10 cars and set all 10 of those cars out at the industries in the locations were it works, and it will also pick up cars from those locations, arriving at Baltimore with 10 cars all of which are destined for the Yard (the cars have no destination beyond the yard when they arrive).? Very rarely a car will be picked up in a location and setout in another location before reaching the yard, but this is very rare and I am not sure why.? Also, I do not allow cars to travel from origin to destination, so no cars are picked up in York to be set out in Baltimore'

?

What I want to have happen is, as an example, the train picks up a car at C, that is destined for A.? This train has already passed A so it cannot deliver the car to A directly.? I want the car to be picked up from C by YB10, taken to Baltimore and put on a classification track that services A so that it can be sent out on a future train (next session) that does service A.??

This makes things clearer.? You have a couple of conflicting statements.? First you say "the cars have no destination beyond the yard when they arrive".? Then you say "the train picks up a car at C, that is destined for A".? If this car that is picked up at C is destined for A, then it needs to have a final destination of A.? This can be done in a couple of ways, depending on your needs.? You can create a schedule for the C location telling it that specific types of cars at this location will have a final destination of A.? If you are using custom loads (which I highly recommend), then JMRI will route the car from C to A via the yard.? As well, if you want this specific car to always go to destination A with a specific load, you can set this up just for the car.? What you are wanting to do is very doable in JMRI.??

?

I highly recommend accessing Pete Johnson's instructions on JMRI in the Wiki section of this group, specifically .? Of course there are also the excellent help files for JMRI.? You will need to do a bit of reading to get familiar with custom loads and schedules, but it is well worth it.??

?

I am sure that Pete will chime in as well and give a more detailed explanation than I have, so stay tuned :)??

Scott,

You only need to assign a new block to the lower half. ?This happens to be the A and B connections.

You will need to remove and add SM6-77-78 since it now has a different block boundary. ?

Once that is done, you can generate the SML.

SM6-72-78 does not need to be a double head mast. ?The upper head will never be used unless you put a mast at the stub track end bumper.

Personally, I would create a block boundary at the throat of turnout 6:01 and add a double head mast. ?All of the departure signals would use the new mast as their destination.

In SML, a route is normal if ALL turnouts are closed. ?It is diverging if ANY turnout is thrown. ?This affects route based signal systems such as "basic".
