Suggested change to jmri
in jmri 5.10 when creating a train at the bottom of the window is train length. After entering the data for a train and saving the data upon opening that data the train length has gone back to a default value.
?
is that deliberate or a mistake?
?
When you open a speedometer and enter data and save it , then open 4 speedometers , all have the same data.
whats the possibility of saving multiple speedometers ,each with different data, like one saves throttles.

Re: SPEED used by train in automation
开云体育Thank you for the responseBut i dont use warrants but i use sml signals and a layout panel not a panel created to use when running automation via warrants. The speed i am referring to is not the speed the train is going at but the calculation done to tell the train what speed to travel at as it travels into allocated blocks. What script is the warrants looking at? I really want to know the equation used to tell the train what speed to travel at as in goes on its route.

No SE74 but I do have 5 DS74 for turnoutsThere are 8 "sensors" per DS74. With 5 DS74s, you will have _40_ sensors, total, from DS74s. This is really a Digitrax problem, not a JMRI problem. Things like "half of those DS74 sensors being effectively useless", and questions about "overlapping" of "Base Address"es should be directed to the Digitrax-Users groups.io list. |

Re: Help learning JMRI
Jim,

What you describe is roughly parallel to my experience some years ago.

For your laptop, the first time you start up each one of the JMRI apps, PanelPro or DecoderPro for example, it will force you to identify the Connection to a DCC command station.? In your case the choice most likely is to select Digitrax for the System Manufacturer and then select LocoNet Simulator for the System Connection.
?
In our club, there are three windows computers, all running Zulu Java version 17.
?
One workstation computer is connected to a test track via a Digitrax Command Station that a few members help with the DecoderPro features and I only make sure that it is kept up to date.? We keep the latest test version on that one since the newest decoder definitions are included.? There are two or three members who have configured several hundred locomotive decoders for each one that I have done.
?
The main layout is controlled with a separate computer running PanelPro and another Digitrax Command Station.? The PanelPro installation involves about twenty control panels and a WiFi connection for WiThrottle users.? We do not have an internet connection, but the local router allows smartphone and tablet usage.? ?We keep the latest production version of JMRI installed on that computer.? Developing and testing the panels was largely my responsibility.?
?
For historical reasons, there is a third computer that is mostly used for the laser printer, but the Operations Team uses several times a month with PanelPro or OperationsPro or DispatcherPro. To tell you the truth, the only time I know what they are doing is when someone complains or asks for help.? I also keep that one up to date with the most recent production version of JMRI.
?
None of our club computers require passwords to access, but we do not have any internet other than the occasional smartphone hotspot.? The workstation and the layout computers have old DOS type batch files that start up the appropriate JMRI app, so the first member to get there can just turn the computer on.? That is because we shut the whole building down and kill all the power at the external circuit breakers when the last member leaves.??
?
My laptop gets plugged into either a LocoNet or a LCC connection depending upon what task is needed.? Mostly LCC work on our expansion layout for the last year or so.
?
Other club circumstances will produce other examples of what might or will work for you.??
?
The important message is that JMRI is a very big program and none of us know much more that a small slice of the total of what is available.? Pick a small or urgent target area and get comfortable with that, and find someone who can provide a little help with some of the other areas.
?
Best of luck,

Re: Not keeping my industry full.
#operationspro
Jason,
?
The build report shouldn't be 100 pages. You need to change the build report "Detail Level" setting to "Very Detailed" and for "Router Detail Level" to "Normal".
?
You can also change the number of passes in aggressive mode to just 2.? You can attach a build report.txt file to your reply.? Once we review the build report it shouldn't take long to fix your issue.

Help learning JMRI
Hi everyone.? Forgive me if I have posted this in the wrong place.
I belong to a railroad club which uses JMRI and Digitrax DCC.? I am also a novice user and trying to gain more knowledge.? My goal is to put JMRI on my home laptop and run the practice (not sure of the name) file so I learn how to use the system.
?
I have Win 10, MSI GS75 Stealth 95E (few years old), have downloaded and installed Java 11, 64 bit.
?
I have an extensive background in computer sciences BSCS, MSCS, and 20 years electronics experience so I'm not totally lost.? With that said, JMRI looks intimidating at best. (lol)
?
If someone would help mentor me to getting this installed so I can learn what to do and how to do it I would be greatly thankful.
?
Regards, Jim |

Re: unknown sensors in table
开云体育Which sensors do you have? It's much easier to answer the question if we know the system name of the sensors. Daniel On 2025-04-15 17:56, dnbroraback via

unknown sensors in table
I have three BXP88 as occupancy detectors. Their correct sensor numbers show up in my sensor table as they should but there are additional sensors in the table which I have no idea what they are.
When I delete them they reappear? when I restart. How do I identify them and get rid of them please |

Re: Decoders for non-standard signaling systems?
#functiondecoder
#signals
Would the ESU Signalpilot fill your needs? I feel so, but the possible problem would be that you will need Lokprogrammer if you want the decoder programming easy. I could imply up to 400+ CVs. 8( It is not supported (yet) by DecoderPro.
?
A colleague has been able to define several USA and UK signals and I did with Spanish signals, all of them not supported out-of-the-box by the decoder, but not difficult to define them and their different aspects.

Re: Not keeping my industry full.
#operationspro
Hi Dan,
?
Unfortunately, this is actually on my friend's layout and his computer's print spooler isn't working correctly so I can't save the 100+ page build report to a .pdf for you to view. What I can tell you is that his layout doesn't have staging so cars basically move from his classification yard track #3 as empties to his oil refinery and the loaded cars move from his oil refinery to other industries on the layout correctly. We are just confused why the industry won't stay full when we specified the planned pickups for that single track to be 100% and the moves to be double the number of cars in that industry since a move (to my understanding) could be a set out or a pick up. Sorry I can't give you any more info than what I have. I'll try to give him some ideas to play around with and see if we can't get it figured out.

Re: Using the same car(s) in two trains in the same Op session
#operationspro
Phil,?
Thank you for the detailed description of how you manage this. I am going to try what you have described.? We run 12 to 14 trains each session (home layout) so there won't be as?many groups as you need.? I was assuming that a switch list wouldn't retain train information after a train has been terminated, but from your description, it appears to be able to do that. John -- John Poray |

Thank uoy all!

I will look into the LCC options.

Yes, it's primarily hardware that I am looking for, which would then be interfaced with a computer running JMRI. |

Re: SPEED used by train in automation

For automation using JMRI Warrants, it measures the time between entering and departing a block (it uses blocks only). As the length blocks is defined (or should be), it can then calculate the speed.
During execution of the script JMRI Warrants is looking ahead. When the train enters a block, it determines if it needs to slow or stop the train for a signal or occupied block ahead. It uses the current speed, the speed profile and the distance to complete the action to calculate the ramp down.
%script ?The value is a percentage of the recorded ("Normal") speed.?Any speed name that is restrictive must have a values less than 100.?The warrant reduces the "Normal" scripted speed by this value as a percentage.
%throttle The value is an absolute throttle setting expressed as a percentage of full throttle.?All speed names must be a number between 0 and 100.?The warrant sets the modified speed to be the value as a percentage of the full throttle setting.

Re: Java exception
开云体育Jim You really need to give more info about your setup to provide a definitive answer, i.e JMRI version and Java version. However I suspect the cause is that if you are running any JMRI 5.x version then you need to have Java 11 at the very least, and you can now use Java 17 as do I. You may still be trying to use Java 8 which needs to be
completely removed before installing a later Java version. See for help. Brian Clark Bedford UK On 15/04/2025 05:15, jim_pflieger via
