New GUI for selecting decoder type
I've tried to put together people's suggestions on how to improve the process of selecting a decoder for DecoderPro. Robin, sorry, but I just couldn't get pop-down menus to work well.
I'd like your

Re: Serial port too slow? Can anything work.
It's not quite so simple. I'm not completely fluent in Java so I'll
only sketch the theoretical solution to the problem and hopefully
someone can fill in the Java details.
Here's the problem. The

Same problem here as with the javacomm package. Setting the port
options (on windows---don't know about unix) uses the driver supplied
list of valid baud rates which doesn't include

Re: Serial port too slow? Can anything work.
Harlan,
I have Win2K and I tired your suggestion. I set the port speed to
57600 and when I started DecoderPro I got 2 messages, one saying
it couldn't set 16600 and the second saying it was

Re: Serial port too slow? Can anything work.
Just out of curiosity, did anyone try setting the windows port option
as I posted on this thread on 6/1? I've no successful experience with

Re: Serial port too slow? Can anything work.
I downloaded all the RXTX development package and tried to build it but it
looks like it is intended to be built using a Linux system that maybe cross
compiles for win32. So I didn't get very far with

Re: Serial port too slow? Can anything work.
This is great!
We've been hacking around in some quite complicated code trying to fix this. It's only (so far) a problem on Windows, and I've be very happy to add the JNI code to call that

The problem is that the javacomm package uses the serial driver's
list of valid baud rates which doesn't include 16457. You can get

Re: Serial port too slow? Can anything work.
Bob,
I'm not very competent in UNIX or Java so I am wondering if it will be
possible to get the Windows RXTX API code from the jmri download site.
I am interested in trying it out if I can get it.

Re: Serial port too slow? Can anything work.
The RXTX folks have two versions of their library, called 1.4 and 1.5. The member function names and arguments, classnames, functionality, etc, are identical between the two. Version 1.4, which is

Re: Serial port too slow? Can anything work.
I'm not an expert on this topic, but I did do some related work for Linux and
as a result suspect that rxtx will replace the suncomm library on Windows.
This is how it is used on Linux - remove

I've downloaded both the RXTX stuff and the MinGW package that appears to be

That would be _great_!
The code comes from http://www.rxtx.org. It's what Mike Davison set up for comms on Linux. I've been working with the 1.4 version 15 from rxtx-1.4-15.tar.gz on their download

I have a loptop that won't set teh correct serial port speed for

Re: Change the way we present decoder names?
Sounds like an interesting project.
Although I've not looked at it in any detail, I think most of the communications stuff should go over pretty cleanly. So you'll be able to talk to the various DCC

Re: Serial port too slow? Can anything work.
The LocoBuffer will almost certainly work. It uses standard serial speeds. I've never heard of somebody having trouble with those.
The MS100 needs a non-standard speed, or a specific alternate. On

Re: Serial port too slow? Can anything work.
Greg,
You need to check the settings for the port. It is probably
defaulting to 9600 speed, and just needs to be reset to a higher
maximum setting. Assuming you have Windoze installed, look at

Re: Serial port too slow? Can anything work.
My hunch is that this is an operating system rather than a hardware issue. PC
serial ports have been doing 56K for man years. I assume you're using
Windows. I know nothing about Windows so I can't
