Finding a block

 

I renamed a block via a layout panel and all that happened is it created a new block with the old name, which I can't now find.

Using PanelPro->Tools->Where Used to search for the block it says this:

??? Block: UBU5 (IB:AUTO:0023)
??????? Listener count: 3

??? Layout Block references
??????? UBU5 (ILB19)

The block is called UBU5 so that bit I understand but how can I find the layout block reference?

Thanks

Chris


Re: Reorienting a turnout without completely deleting it. #layouteditor

 

David,
?
it is the physical representation that is wrong.?

Green is correct.?
but when showing diverging the break in track should be on the left instead of the right of the circle.?

thanks

Re: Dispatcher continuous transit fails after a few loops

 

>may not allocate across them if the other crossing track is allocated
Doh, of course that would be prudent. That only happened in pic 2 ?because I kept clicking allocate next to see if it would make it.
?
I tried using "no signals" and there was no issue so I conclude there's no faulty SML. Then I tried with SML and it worked for many cycles until I was convinced there was no problem. Maybe there was "self-healing" after several quit/restarts?
?
I may have to divide a block into two on that transit because the layout is tight and allocating 3 sections goes around and spans two sides of the level crossing. Thanks for giving me ideas.

Its a long shot, but is CV5 set too low or even zero. ( for loksound the motor is disabled by setiing cv5 = zero.)

Re: Dispatcher continuous transit fails after a few loops

If those are grade crossings / diamonds it will may not allocate across them if the other crossing track is allocated, and will not allocate across an occupied? block.
As you are using everything auto generated the mast at the end of the last allocated section has a hold aspect.
?
To check whether the signalling is the problem, see how it runs with "No Signals" in the dispatcher options.?

Dispatcher continuous transit fails after a few loops

 

Sometimes it's only one or two loops. This time the train went maybe 5-6 then stopped presumedly because of the double mast stop (I don't see that specific aspect at ). It's not always the same mast sometimes it's the other double mast. Why can't it allocate sections when nothing else is on the track?
?
Notes:
I'm using 5.11 and all turnouts are ghost blocks between hardware detection blocks.
Everything is auto-generated (paths, sections, SML).
After this screen I restarted JMRI and tried again it only made it to the second block (pic 2) even though I manually clicked "Allocate Next" until all blocks allocated but it never restarted.
There is nothing in the session.log

OK

Another small step. Some decoders have a “disconnect” mode where you can power the prime mover WITHOUT engaging “drive”. If this is selected (or not actively unselected), you will experience the same symptoms

Do you have the original doc for the sound project??

Changing CV 29 to 7 results in the loco responding to the short address in the same way as previously reported. Meaning sounds are fine, but no loco movement.

Re: Reorienting a turnout without completely deleting it. #layouteditor

 

Heath,

What do you mean by "orientation"? ?Is it supposed to be a left hand turnout? ?Do you just want the image to show the diverging leg when closed"?

For the last question, you can use the continuing route feature.
This controls which leg is drawn when the turnout is "closed". ?This requires that the switch machine is wired to move the points to the diverging route when the JMRI turnout table state is "Closed". ?Note: ?You cannot use the "Invert" option as a substitute to fixing the wiring.

Date: Saturday, April 05, 2025 10:45 AM

I am not sure what happened, but I have one turnout that ended up in the wrong orientation. I have the turnout and block detection and turnout position sensors all working, so I am trying to figure out if there is a way to just reorient the turnout without completely deleting it and then setting everything up again.
?
I was looking for a way to "disconnect" the turnout, like you can do in Anyrail, but was able to figure out how to make that work.
?
Any simple solutions or do I just need to delete and then re-add a new turnout in the correct orientation?

Re: Loading table content and panels xml file using MacOS Mongomery from Dropbox - Error Loading File Appears #mac-os

 

Hi Dave,?
Many thanks for your assistance. The issue I was having is now resolved and did involve a Dropbox issue. The Mac OS Monterey had a goggle drive application in operation. ?Once the Google drive was switched off. The loading table XML content worked as designed. Therefore the conflict was caused by having 2 cloud base drives in operation on the same MAC OS

Stop All Auto Trains bug

 

All,
?
Windows 10
JMRI 5.11.3
?
? ? ? Noticed while running four of my trains in auto that if I have a derail and I try to stop all the trains some of them slow down to stop, but resume on their own upon reaching next block.
?
In Auto Trains window I press "Stop All Auto Trains".
All trains start slowing and show "Resume".
Some trains then contiue and show "Stop".
?
Had not noticed this in version 5.8.

Re: JMRI & Engine Driver Issue #enginedriver

 

What is the address of the loco?
If it is below 127, is it a long DCC address or a short DCC address?

NCE is one of a small number of systems that allows you to put what are essentially short address in the long address CVs.

Re: Experimental "Flatpak" distribution of JMRI

 

Linux Crew:

Playing further with my flatpak install...

One hoped for feature with a Linux release is a seamless update of a system.

The flatpak install uses the same files structure for data but I have a problem finding the "programs" the scripts...? No big problem there were launcher icons installed in "other" in the start pane but I wanted to update desktop icons that are easily built in Mint Cinnamon.

The help show files gives me an /app/share/JMRI but that's not obvious where that actually is... there is no app directory in Home or the higher File System...

So for me... interesting... but I would ask the developers to get the install to 100% of the standard we have or not worry about the flatpak version...

I have several Linux/Mint/JMRI installs that I've gifted/built on recycled PC's that the easier an update the better... We are generally talking "noob" class computer users let alone Linux users.

Randall,

What system is your layout? Like what system are you using for the turnouts? Driving a signal lamp is really the same as driving a turnout motor. At least to JMRI. Look at ‘Signal Heads’, most of those outputs are using a turnout entry to drive the lamps.

You might also look at the standalone application for yard ladder control which I also implemented.

Re: Signal Controller Board Suggestions

 

I use QuadLN_S boards for my turnout, detection, and signal interfaces.
When used with JMRI Signal Mast Logic, the Quad translates Loconet signal messages into LED aspect indications.
I run my entire railroad with JMRI and the Quads.

JMRI and LogicX driving Signals #signals

 

Wanting to drive a Signal based on a decision 'to set green / red' from a LogicX - already set a sensor 'light' on the screen and switch turnouts,, looking for guidance to then set a dwarf signal.
?
unable to use turnout motor switches as there are two x three-way turnouts used.
?
If there is a write up or Youtube I would appreciate in pointer, all i have seen so far are track sensor based and switched from a single turnout motor.
?
Happy to answer any questions...
?
thanks
Randall


Signal Controller Board Suggestions

 

I have JMRI LogicX working through a tree/ladder of turnout to set 'a road in a yard' to the 'Main' from a touch sensor on a Panel.? Due to space, I am using two x three-way turnouts meaning I cannot use the turnout motor internal switches to switch leds on the Dward Signals on each road.
?
On the screen, I have a 'sensor' light next to the Road when it is clear to the Main.? All good so far and works fine.
?
Looking now for an addressable signal controller board to receive a JMRI command to turn a 'dwarf' signal from 'red' to 'green' when the sensor on the panel is selected (when it sets the required road to main).? ?The signal controller will connect to an AUX bus connected to, in this case, a NCE PowerPro Controller.?
?
What Signal Controller Boards are you using to take the command to change the LEDs from JMRI?
?
happy to answer any clarifying questions!
?
Thanks
Randall
