John B,
Here is the suggestion. You create virtual signals at first. Give them
meaningful user names. Build the logic for them. Later when you get
real hardware, you 'move' (it's a right click option) the user name to
the real hardware. You also replace the signal on the panel with the
username (if you didn't from the start) and it will follow the
hardware for your display of the signals. That way you never lose the
logic, it is tied to the user name.

What he means is, set the cab address of the USB interface to 10.

And your USB interface isn't assigned to COM3, it clearly shows COM10 in the image you posted!

Re: Signal heads/ masts
Ken,
I am creating SSLs and now I understand how they work. All of the signals were created as virtual heads so I could place them on the LE panel and populate the Simple Signal Logic. Now that I am ready to add physical signals I believe I will need to re-create all of the logic again, this time as NH$xxx heads? If they both display aspects on the LE panel and have the same logic dialog box, what is the purpose to create virtual logic at all? Or am I missing something again.?
I know when I graduate to SML all bets are off, changes will need to be made.? ?

John B,
The bulk of the signal mast logic systems have aspects that refer to
the turnout as part of the aspect. Generally labeled diverging and
usually another word of two like diverging approach or diverging slow.
Physically using a dwarf combined with a high mast is not something in
most if not any of the systems. Can you roll your own, yes. But that's
a lot more work. Also that high and dwarf combo would not be something
immediately understood by most operators.
Generally the rule systems expect that you have a mast with one or
more heads to display the appearance of the aspects. Never on two
different physical devices. But maybe somebody can provide a prototype
example.

It might be that you need to use "Request update of sensor"

Phil, sadly no joy for me on that LogixNX sensor polling
command. it appears to run at startup and even if I force
execution it, it still fails to give me block occupancy
visibility on the panel. I guess my lr101 and/or lb101s just
dont wake up from it calling for the report. I have a little BLI
track car I just plonk on a couple blocks within easy reach and
all is well, so not a huge time saver, but was bummed this
didn't work for me. I did get the route to clear the turnouts on
startup, so that was a win.

I dont think its that simple.
The routines mentioned act on a transit to get the next section.
The allocate extra can allocate 1 section further, but auto trains cannot always use it and it doesnt always set the switchs.. Its designed for manual driving of the train and is limited to adding only one additional section.
The bext way way is to just create a new train from where you are with a new transit to get where you want to go, it has the advantage of being able to go anywhere.
Using a script simple terminate the train and create anew one.?
You can do the same thing with Transit Actions.
?
Look to see how its done in the "Dispatcher System" in the jython library.

Subject: [jmriusers] MACOS 15 (Sequoia) JMRI program halt
Date: Thursday, September 26, 2024 12:07 PM
I use a Mac Mini M1 8GB for JMRI and LCC configuration. Five times in the past month, when using Layout Editor (the one with the grid panel) hiding a panel causes JMRI to halt with no keyboard or mouse response until I use F4 to get to the MACOS Force Quit menu option. Force Quit closes out JMRI, but of course recent edits are lost. Using JMRI 5.9.3, Azul 17, MACOS 15.0
?
Otherwise, I can hide and reopen a panel repeatedly without triggering a JMRI halt.
?
Unfortunately, this is a random, occasional occurrence with no error message I know how to look for.?I have tried waiting a minute or so, but JMRI seems to have halted? I am good at continually saving my work, so not too aggravating.
?
I thought it best to at least report this and would appreciate any suggestions on how to trace it.

Thanks,

Hello Mike,
I'm not sure if anyone in JMRI is using SPINS information to route cars.? SPINS was created as an aid to help crews spot cars correctly.? There is nothing that says you cannot use SPINS information to help JMRI route cars.? You would just use the SPINS data in place of the alphabet formatted information in labeling your spurs.? If you go that route please let us know how it works.? Thanks and take care. Cheers, Dennis Drury

Additional information here:

What I'm looking for is how to name the industry. Instead of putting Wal-Mart spot 1 or Purina Chow unload 1, do you just put the number, 0415 for example? I'd think it could be as easy as that. Yes, I have a diagram of the track to match the number and industry but wanted to know how operators handled just a number vs. a name and location. Since the name of the building and location are easier to see on a model railroad verses a number that you have to reference another document.?
For real railroaders, I think the diagram and number would be easy and repeatable as a job. For us part time (model) railroaders, I think more details assist operators in performing their tasks.?
Thank you for any information.?

Hi there,
?
I have been using JMRI for a while but for the first time I am stuck with something. I am running some scripts but I think it yet not possible to do the following :
I use a python script to automate the creation of active train in the dispatcher using : jmri.jmrit.dispatcher.DispatcherFrame createActiveTrain setStarted
I run my trains using auto allocate and release of sections, with auto allocation to next safe section. However in some cases I would like to be able to force some more allocation as it is possible using the dispatcher button bellow, I would like to do so in a script. I found out that ? and ? are not available (private) may be I miss something?

Re: Title Bar of Preferences window is off screen. How do I move the window?

With JMRI not running, delete that line instead of altering it.
It will be recreated when you start up JMRI again with that window in the default position.

Ron,
I tried it with locY + 20 pixel. That worked. Well, I tested on Windows 10 and I'm running JMRI 5.9.4. But I assume that it works on the RPi too. Quit JMRI before you edit the file.

I am using Steve Todd's excellent JMRI image for the RPi. When I open the Preferences window, the window always opens right at the top of the screen, and the Title bar is offscreen. I can adjust the height and width of the window by dragging the bottom and side of the window respectively, but haven't found a way to drag the window down so I can see the Title bar. This means I can't reposition the Preferences window.
I tried altering the locY value here:
<window xmlns="" class="apps.gui3.tabbedpreferences.TabbedPreferencesFrame:Preferences" height="590.0" locX="603.0" locY="0.0" width="900.0"/>

Mike,
?
If the diagram of the location is present at the location (on the facia, or perhaps lighting valance), then IHMO, the SPINS number could easily be presented on the JMRI paperwork, and should offer little trouble for most folks to get a car spotted.
?
Phil Klein uses a modified version of this idea on his BNSF Seattle Sub layout...the example here is Black River, WA and the Selland Co. auto-ramp tracks, with the track numbers listed,
?
?
His track charts exist on small facia-mounted Kindle tablet JMRI panels, that also control the turnouts at the location.
