Re: DCC-EX Voltage/current meter
#dcc-ex
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýSteveT, ? Did the old command never really work or do you have to code a choice or can you tell from the connection which command to use? I¡¯d guess trying the new command, and it comes back with a ¡®command unknown¡¯ would work to fall back to the old code. ? I don¡¯t have this hardware but have been following along. ? -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team

Re: DCC-EX Voltage/current meter
#dcc-ex
Thanks for the update, Daniel.
?
Can you retry the <JI> a few times with a loco on the track to see if you can get readings other than 0?
?
I can update JMRI to use <JI>, but I'd like to verify that <JI> works with the UNO. Their documentation does not match their code.

And some make changs _without changing anything in the Help_, even though they change things that make the Help "inaccurate". If you see an obvious "Help" omission, or something which is incorrect in the "Help" files, I would encourage you to follow the "FAQ" at , in the section "What if my "problem" turns out to be a bug in JMRI?" . (Problems with inaccuracies in Help and/or missing "Help" info are, in my opinion, "bugs"...) |
Help menu
I was wondering if it would be possible to add a help menu to each tab of Decoder Pro explaining what everything on that page does and how it interacts. I've been using JMRI for 5 years now and still finding out things only when other users mention it.
I've used other s/w for programming other non model railroading products (PBX systems) that have a help button on each page that explains each entry.
If already exists, please let me know where to find it.

Re: DCC-EX Voltage/current meter
#dcc-ex
So combining the info I¡¯ve received in this thread and also from the DCC-EX Discord server, the following is how I understand it - correct me if I¡¯m wrong¡
?
it seems support for the <c> command was removed for the Uno as it was considered obsolete and replaced with the <JI> command - also due to the UNO¡¯s limited flash memory¡
?
Below is one of the replies I received on the EX Discord server¡
?
¡±
JMRI has not been updated to use the <JI> command. You see a valid reply OmA for both tracks. JMRI sends the <c> command for its current meter window, but it no longer works for Uno. You could use DCC-EX version 5.0.9 - a 5.0 release version where the <c> command works for the Uno. JMRI could be updated to use the ?JI> command. ¡±

DecoderPro Pet Peeves
I've been a DecoderPro user for many years.? It's made working with CV so much easier.? Add to that I also thankfully make use of PanelPro, WiThrottle, Engine Driver and Speed Profiling.? I am super grateful for all the people who volunteer their time to make JMRI a reality.
?
I do have a few pet peeves, though.? I share them not to complain, but to see if maybe I am missing something that would eliminate them.
?
1.? Takes forever to load a locomotive profile window.? I've installed JMRI on a number of different computers over the years and in all cases opening a locomotive profile window can take over 2 minutes.? The time is also inconsistent, sometimes faster and sometimes slower.
?
2.? Whenever a locomotive profile window is opened, any trains running on Engine Driver are set to emergency stop.??
?
3. On the loco roster list, there is not a column for consist address.? I use DecoderPro to consist all my trains using advanced consisting.? Would be super useful to have a consist address column when I make changes to my trains consists.
?
4. Lastly, on the speed profiler, which I love, I have to re-enter the start sensor, block sensor and finish sensor.? It remembers the block length, not sure why it does not remember the sensors.
?
I love JMRI.? Thank you again to all those who worked on making it possible. I hope no one is offended by me sharing these minor issues.

Re: NCE ProCab- Light-it as signal decoder - Simultaneous commands
#nce
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Louis, Just an update. I have now received a whole bunch of SignalMan boards from RRCirKits, and have managed to get the first one "operational" in that my NCE PowerPro system & JMRI are all talking with each other. Thanks again for you YouTube posting on this matter. I'll try and send you a 'comment' on Youtube with further details.
Dear All, Thank you to all who have come out of the woodwork and demonstrated that there really is some type of problem in hardware communication between NCE & JMRI when it comes to automated updating of signal aspects when using Light-its. I have managed to keep my sanity, thus far.
To Mr Cameron and others in the JMRI team, I do hope that one day a solution to the problem is found.
Regard to you all, Nimble in Oz ================================== On 3/05/2025 11:04 pm, louis.dirosso

Re: Help with a Script to send SigOps CV settings for NCE Lightit
#nce
#scripting
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýTrevor, I hope I'm not out of place asking this, but you piqued my curiosity when saying you had 90 signal heads with NCE light-its as their driver...Have you been able to successfully integrate/operate/automate the Light-its with JMRI? [That is, without signal aspect updates being missed or ignored?] [My recent 'thread' on this topic has gone cold.] I and others, have had issues with Light-its not updating. The only solution found, thus far, is to use a different beast [signal decoder]. The RRCirKits "SignalMan" boards I am in the process of experimenting with have a "brightness" panel whereby one can alter the illumination level of each and every LED. Very versatile.

Re: LogixNG Table example: yard ladder Table?
#logixng
Hi Dave,
?
I made a screenshot of the LogixNG Module contents and the LogixNG ConditionalNG (using yard-ladder-example.xml)
You can see that for "Table" noting is included, just two ".
Also in the digital formulas E1 variable is blank, E2 uses "Rechtdoor" (Dutch for non-divert).
And E4 shows "Afbuigend" (Dutch for "Divert").
?
For what I understand of this, I have the impression some things have gone missing or are not correctly stated?

I may have found a bug in the beta version. I want to try it on several phones to verify. When I select from the roster, I get only 4 functions that do not work. Select the same engine by address, the ?same 4 function appear at the top of the screen and still do not work, but my 8 functions appear below them and all work perfectly. The same happened on several engines. I will try tomorrow on my s25 Samsung. The one I used today was an s7 Samsung that had worked perfectly before I updated it. Can you contact Steve or myself directly via email to work through what you have found?

Re: LogixNG Table example: yard ladder Table?

When pressing "Help" in the upper right corner of the tabs of the main Panel Pro window there is no "System Console", but there is a "JMRI export window" (translated from Dutch), right below "System context".
I hope that is what you need, attached below?

Thanks for your patience,

Daniel, I have figured out the change to?AbstractNamedTable.java to support the semicolon separator. ? Based on that, I should be able to add the semicolon option to the LogixNG Table add dialog.
