Well those cable ends look great. But the two lights on the USB should
never stay lit, they should only blink briefly as traffic passes between the units. It becoming stuck on is not good. But somebody else might recall what it means about which one becomes stuck. -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team www.jmri.org www.fingerlakeslivesteamers.org www.cnymod.com |

Any way to view System Console on remote browser?
#webserver
Howdy all, with thoughts and prayers for those affected by the storm.
听
Is there any way to view the System Console on a remote browser?听 I am using JMRI 5.9.4 with Java 11.0.23.听
听
During Op Sessions at the Club (tsmri.org), I have panels that I load and scripts that can print info to the system console.听 I start the Web Server (and WiThrottle and LN over TCP servers) and then as "Station Operator", I use a tablet, phone, or laptop on one Panel to click on sensors reporting OS's of trains at stations (Ready, Depart, Arrive or Terminate).听 The Dispatcher has a browser open and views the other panel (screenshot embedded)听 to see the track plan and where the trains are (according to the Station Operator's reports: no occupancy sensing or signals).听 I also display (on that Panel), the last five reports with time, Station, Train and Action and they roll off when a new one is sent.听听
听
I originally had just four lines each with an indicator that is lit until acknowledged), but added a fifth since sometimes the reports are sent fast and furious (in a two hour session, reporting 17 trains at 8 different stations).听 However, it occurred to me that since I tailored the scripts to print each report (sequentially of course), I realized that if the Dispatcher could view the System Console (maybe a different browser window), he would be able to "catch up" if he missed any and verify his logs.听
听
I searched for any relevant topics here, and cannot find any setting in JMRI to allow that view.听 Thanks for any help!

Hello Marcus and Ken,
听
Following the manual, I played around with the jumpers and baud rate and was able to get a power light on the USB connection-side.听 I set the baud rate to 9600 and jumpers are:听 1 = ON | 2 = OFF | 3 = ON | 4 = ON
听
However, no light for the CAB Bus side.听听
听
听
Here are the endpoints of my cables included in the NCE Power Cab.听 BTW when everything is connected, I get a red light on the Power Cab panel.
听
a. Flat cable for NCE Power Cab to Power Cab panel.
听
B. Coiled cable for NCE USB Interface to Power Cab panel.
听

EnTact,
Your logs show the com port is acting fine. But when JMRI asks if the command station is there, it gets no answer. I think you said you had all the jumpers on (pin 1 doesn't matter) so the baud rate is matching. There are two very little LEDs on the USB interface card. They should flash when traffic goes from either side. If the LEDs get stuck on, that's a bad sign but meaningful. Usual case here is a faulty cable between the USB board and the cab bus. Those cables must be a data type cord meaning straight through, not the phone type cord which flips the wires between the ends. If you hold both ends of the cord next to each other, side by side by the cords, the colors of wire in the cords should match exactly. If they mirror each other instead, that's a telco type cord. -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team www.jmri.org www.fingerlakeslivesteamers.org www.cnymod.com |

Re: Problems with Persistent PI4 USB ports
开云体育Robert,Incorrect terminology. 听As you stated, I updated the 听'10-usb-serial.rules鈥� file to the new idVendor and idProduct codes for the new PHPro adapter, then reloaded 听鈥檚udo udevadm trigger鈥� 听and devices un-plugged and plugged, with the results 听鈥榣s -l /dev/ttyUSB*鈥� showing the assigned bindings.听 My deviation to your process was not using - the rules need to be reloaded ("sudo udevadm control -R") and the device unpluged and plugged in again - which I will try tomorrow. 听Different process but same results, that I don鈥檛 know? It鈥檚 the fact that JMRI doesn鈥檛 acknowledge the bound devices in port connections is what perplexes me. They were there once before, when it stopped I don鈥檛 know.听 听 John 听Bauchiero - D&H Model Railroad -听NCE PH-Pro & PowerCab, Pi4b, DCC-EX - JMRI current test version

Problems with Persistent PI4 USB ports
开云体育When assigning connections for my two NCE CS, I used to be able to select for each NCE CS connection the communication port by the names as assigned in persistent bindings. This came to light when my RS232 to USB adapter needed replacement. The new adapter has different idVendor and idProduct codes than its predecessor. The bindings dialog was updated and binds as desired but in Preferences > Connections does not show up as the available serial ports. All that is available is USB0 and USB1, when I used to see 'NCE_PHPro' and 鈥楴CE_PowerCab鈥�. Thereby, always attaching to the correct product by its assign names to its intended port.听I鈥檓 trying to determine what caused this change, an upgrade of PiOS, JMRI or the introduction of the new adapter? 听Now it is hit or miss as to which device gets which port. 听If I check ' ls -l /dev/ttyUSB* ' I see the devices as they were assigned.听 Has anyone experienced this issue? 听I am assuming new versions of the PiOS may not respond to the bindings the same as older version but why would that have changed?.听 John 听Bauchiero - D&H Model Railroad -听NCE PH-Pro & PowerCab, Pi4b, DCC-EX - JMRI current test version |
