Re: Ad Hoc Changing Block Alternate Colour - Means of Showing Cab Allocation with DC Cab Control
Colin,
Here is a demo that sort of implements what you are looking at doing.
After expanding the zip file, move the xml and py files and custom icons to an existing profile. ?Everything is internal so there is no requirement for a specific connection.
Comments
EntryExit dynamically builds the block list based on the active sensor pair. ?You cannot build a list of blocks that will be allocated. ?Since you will not have signals, it is also not possible to predict the "possible" block set from the signal mast logic. ?
The demo inverts the process. ?There is a LogixNG that is triggered when EntryExit has allocated a block. ?It runs the set-alternate-color.py script. ?The script has access to the LogixNG symbol table which provides the block name and cab name. ?
The cab sensor group triggers a LogixNG which updates a global LogixNG variable. ?The script has a Python dictionary that maps the cab names to the color for each cab name.
Since you don't have occupancy detection, you will need to "cancel" the EntryExit routes.
Setting unallocated blocks to a selected cab is probably not a good idea. ?That would require changing the normal block color.

Oh and it is good to have seen that block managing script, where and how it is described and syntax. All part of learning.

Re: Cannot change horn, no bell

One more thing Paul. The ESU software that runs the LokProgrammer is free. you can download it and install it on your computer. Then load a sound file and see what's?going on in that sound file. You can't write anything to the decoder (obviously) but you'll gain a lot of knowledge. Under the tools menu there is a selection that will show you what CVs were changed by your actions in the software. That helps with CV changes you can make on a throttle.
I am trying to set up an ESU Loksound 5 decoder programmed by my dealer.?
?
The prime mover sound works, I can change the master volume ok, the lights work, I can dim the lights ok in the Function Outputs tab, I try to change CV163 (horn) and CV164 (bell) but the horn sound does not change and it sounds like a plastic toy. It does respond to the master volume.? Default Sound slots 3 (horn) at 225 and 4 (bell) at 70. Changing these values does nothing.
?
The bell has never made a peep... it is like there are no sound files loaded. (I do not have a Loksound programmer).?
?
What am I missing?
Thanks for your help,
-Paul in Utah

Re: LogixNG table editor and CSV question

Erik,
Try renaming the .txt file as .csv.

That results in a Excel file with one column and all records (all columns) compressed together per row, hence useless.

Yea, but: To prevent a local move for trains that do only drops/lifts I have to do an edit, since you defaulted to local moves 'yes.'? Nit, and I've already edited my stuff.

I have MS Office 2010.
Two versions of export to .csv are presented when using "save as":
1. CSV (MS-DOS) *.csv
2. CSV separated by list-separation sign *.csv
?
In both cases the exported .csv file uses semi-colon (";"), as described in my previous message. Summary: due to the fact that EU decimal (,) and thousands (.) separation is different from US separation, a semi-colon is used as record separation.
If I want to use tab-separated records I have to export as "Text (tab separated) *.txt".
Causing my file to loose any Excel link.
?
Hence my upcoming request to have this third option when retrieving .csv files, (besides "tab" and "comma" separation) for "semi-colon" separation.

Hi Dave, I discovered why my .csv file uses a semi-colon. Please
see my previous message.

The only solution (in light of what I described there) is for
JMRI to allow a third option (besides tab and comma) namely a
semi-colon.
I intend on submitting this request to the developpers.
