JMRI 14.17.7+R5bc91de, Windows 10.

Using the Config Profiles screen under Preferences, when I try to copy a profile named SPROGSim-CMRICom7, I get different behaviors depending on what I name the new profile.? If I attempt to name it SPROGSim-CMRICom8, I get an error that says "Unable to rename [where I keep my profiles]\JMRI\SPROGSimCMRICom8.jmri\profile\jmri-[long string of characters] to use new profile ID."? When I attempt to name the new profile simply "C8" it works fine.? However, a fully populated directory tree is created in both cases.

I tried a few more cases and it seems to work OK with some profile names and not others.? I thought I found a pattern related to name length (6 or less vs more), but then I found other cases that didn't work..

May have been an issue for a while as I tried this on JMRI 14.17.3 and got the same behavior.

Test version 4.17.7 of JMRI/DecoderPro is available for download.

Thank you, Bob.
I have updated my RPi-JMRI image for the RaspberryPi to include JMRI 4.17.7, and published it here: https://mstevetodd.com/rpi
Hopefully, some users will be able to load this and provide additional feedback before the 4.18 release.

Hi,

I have no idea what happened. It was plugged into the cab buss, so I guess nothing should have happened. I still got the timeout status.

after finally hooking things up the proper way - using Power Cab and the NCE adapter, I was successful in reading decoders. The log after the first successful read is below. I am curious about why the timeouts. Also, If I use a later version of Decoder Pro, is it better at? figuring out which decoder it is? The reason I ask is that with two different locos it says it could be one of these - and shows about 6 options.

FYI - the Power Cab shows Pro Cab version 1,3 and Power Cab version 1.28C. All jumper positions are open on the USB adapter.

Thanks for your help, guys.


Peace,

Mike G.

If you don’t want the Approach (yellow) to show, you could

1) Not have each mast protecting the following one. Just delete those references.

or

2) Configure your mast definitions so that the Approach is mapped to “light the green output”

Many thanks for the replies. Once again my lack of understanding. I was looking for a simple red/green system on the lights. I disabled the approach aspect on the mast and so when it could not go yellow it went to red (your mention of yellow highlighted that to me so thanks ). I think I might have to rethink what I want to do and perhaps put virtual masts in between physical masts to hide the yellow.

Ken and Mike,

Dave,

What changed about 410 seconds after you started JMRI that allowed JMRI to
see the command station? It does 10 second cycles to try to talk to the
command station. It times out at 10 seconds. After all that, it finally
worked. So something changed.

I assume that question was meant to be directed to Mike?

I'd like to know the answer to that as well.

Not a JMRI related question.
Suggest you try the Digitrax forum: /g/Digitrax-Users

Using Digitrax DCS210, DS64s (4), and BXP88 (2) question is how address the two BXPs, each with eight zones, have addressed each BXP ID #.

Thank you

Here's the last couple minutes, while I was in the Create New Loco window trying to write the decoder address to the loco.

Marc,
Yes, I can acquire, read and write with PowerCab on the Programming track. ?Not convinced yet that JMRI and PowerCab are talking.

Would be helpful if? you could post the System Console output.? Under, DecoderPro, HELP, System Console copy to clip board and paste to this thread,

Marc

You confirm that, without JMRI, you are capable of reading and writing to the decoder sitting on program track ?? If your NCE Powercab fails READ/WRITE on it's own, JMRI will fail also.
301 error is an indication that computer(JMRI) and Powercab are talking but the decoder is not responding or not found on program track.?

Marc

This is the link to the XP drivers.

(I’m assuming that the signals are visible to trains moving from right to left)

With B1 occupied, B2 unoccupied, and nothing else relevant happening, I’d expect sm2 to be red and sm3 to be yellow.

sm3 should be protecting B2 _and_ sm2: it’s appearance depends on both of them.

Is there any chance that you configured sm3 to protect both B1 and B2?

Hi, not sure if I have a problem or just a complete lack of understanding of signal masts.

I have a very simple panel with 3 signal masts and two blocks

Sm1 sm2 sm3
#-------------------------------------#--------------------------------------#
B1 B2

The signal mast logic for SM2 is be green if B1 is unoccupied.
The signal mast logic for SM3 is be green if B2 is unoccupied.

If B1 is occupied and B2 is unoccupied SM2 and SM3 both go red. Is this correct (I was hoping that only SM2 would be red and SM3 would remain green).

Thanks
