Dave, he is using DCC++? and it looks more and more like his DCC++ system has issues with reading the current draw and programming on Program Track is functional.

You still haven't grasped the problem.

If you have a computer running DecoderPro, it can't magically talk to a loco on your layout to drive and/or program it.

You must have some brand/model of command station and booster to enable you to drive trains or to use DecoderPro. You can't just plug two wires into some place on your computer and connect them to your track! You have to have some sort of DCC system for powering your trains/driving them/connecting to the computer.

Please go to DecoderPro's Edit->Preferences->Connections screen and it will have some information about the brand/model of command station you are connected to.

Maybe someone else can explain this better to Russ.

Hi all-

I’ve been at this for a bit, so I thought I’d just throw it out there and say that if you’ve got twin-coil type turnout motors (like the Peco PL-10 or PL-11) and you’re trying to drive them with relays and use JRMI/Arduino to control them, I’ve got the solution for you. Basically, you’ll need a spare Arduino and utilize CMRI. I’m attaching the sketch I made for it.

If you’ve been struggling with this or are curious, let me know and I’ll be happy to share what I’ve learnt.

Dave,

My virus protection is from Spectrum/previously Charter Communications & is labeled F-Secure.

This path is what my virus protection has allowed thru as a "private? network"
C:\users\munros\appdata\local\temp\launchjmri\decoderpro3.exe?

Here is another listing from the "Windows Defender Firewall\Monitoring tab:"

<SNIP>
Status was out on the end of the line & both lines had a Status of OK.

Is there any place else to look for a list of blocked apps - which I found none listed as blocked?

Is there any thing "special" about running the same exe a second time?
Such as the roster files getting blown out of the water?
Just to be safe, I will make a copy of them off line on a thumb drive(s).

Thanks - Dennis Munro

The usual cause of this is an antivirus program quarantining "LaunchJMRI.exe" during the install procedure, resulting in an incomplete installation of JMRI.

"LaunchJMRI.exe" is the file usually targeted by some antivirus software every time we update it.

Install again with your antivirus software temporarily disabled, or sometimes your antivirus will ask/warn you about "LaunchJMRI.exe" and you can tell it to accept it. No need to delete the existing installation.

Thanks. Unfortunately that doesn't answer my question. JMRI has to connect to your Tsunami TSU-PNP by means of some DCC system brand and model (e.g. Digitrax Zephyr, NCE Power Pro...). I'm afraid "built-in throttle" tells us nothing.

This is a complete profile with panels, demo content, the tutorial PDF file. ?If the file is unzipped and the resulting profile is placed next to existing profiles, the JMRI profile selector should see it. ?If you have the selector disabled, use Preferences >> Config Profiles to find it.

Hey Nick,?
? ?I have tried to use the tools myself but I am not certain it is complete.? I haven't asked if it was complete, just got the impression after multiple times of trying to use it over different versions of JMRI.? I did get it to draw a panel once but it seems to be very hap hazard at this point.? I hope that work continues on it because it looks like an awesome product.

Could this be some kind of timing error?

On the CV's tab, I found that all values came up in yellow.? When from the CVs, reading any single value on CV's between 1-256, most of the time the reads work successfully.? Sometimes I'll get a 308, but when retrying, it usually works - eventually it does.

Trying to read any value from 1257-3258, reads will not complete successfully.

If I try to run "Read full sheet", although some values retrieve successfully, many come back red/Unknown.? I can go to any value 1-256 and successfully read the value successfully and clear the Unknown condition.? None of the 1257-3258 CVs can be cleared.

Has anyone else experienced this?? I suspect it could be related to the other 308 error I've been experiencing.

Thanks,

Locked Re: Making VSD Files and Config - Volume question #vsdecoder

 

Thanks Klaus.? I worked with my audio files (as you thought, the original was 44100, not 47k like I said, and they were stereo which may have been the real problem), added some more notches (I guessed at what it would sound like), made Accel and Deccel sounds, added those new notches to my config and tried again.? A new file is uploaded to ProblemsBeingWorkedOn/Phil Abernathy with a small write-up of the loco.?

I am still working on how to make the prime mover stop/start when I send an F8 (mute) function (I have it auto start now).? In fact, when I review my config file, I don't see what Starts or Stops the engine (I use the button on the VSD Manager Pop-up, but do not see that button mentioned in the file).

I would love for someone familiar with the prototype to weigh in on the sounds though: I just guessed.

I am hoping to try this at the Club within the next 2 weeks, along with my new SQ23 camera.

Virtual Sound Decoder file for an Alco S-1 loco (made from 1940 to 1950). Used a model 539 diesel and had no turbo. All sound files are 11khz, 8 bit mono (which, although they are less detailed, are smaller and take up much less room). Changed config file to make sounds more balanced (thanks Klaus!) and although these sounds are not perfect, they give a good caricature of what I think they should be (although I accidentally propagated the poppet sound onto several notches....)

The program has been running fine (as far as I can tell) except DecoderPro\Edit\Preferences aborts out of the program.

This is the staring point:??"C:\Program Files (x86)\JMRI"
I just noticed that I am running in Windows 8 compatibility mode???

Is the possibility the path for JMRI did not get set up/set up correctly?
I installed the JMRI program in July & I do not remember changing anything related to using anything but the default paths/locations.
I just search my second drive & I found JMRI Ver 1.1 from 2002 & JMRI Ver 1.3.10 from 2004.

I did make the mistake of plugging my USB cable from computer to the PR4 into a different USB port & that made a mess.
I ended up with two com port 3's & ended of disabling/deleting both in Device Manager & then re-booted the P/C.
All better since then.

I do not even remember if I ever looked at the Preferences pane after installing JMRI.
I did look after the double com post fiasco but figured I'd get to figure that out at some time.

I am building a new table/layout so the train running is done on a 4 ft test track.
Also minor running at a local train club I just joined.

Any suggestions as to how to get the preferences pane to be displayed?

I am considering doing the update to the latest test version of JMRi with the hope that installing a new version will fix the preferences pane problem.
I'm guessing that is not a given that it will fix that problem?
