Re: Lost my Sensor folder in the Table option
I did another install of Test 4.17.3 and that did not fix it either.
I have this also installed on another computer and it has the Tools/Table/Sensor folder.

Lost my Sensor folder in the Table option
How do I restore my Sensor folder under Tools/Tables?
The Sensors are signed right in the Blocks Folder and everything is working fine.
I did a large cleanup of old JMRI installs and deleted a huge amount of files.
Is there a special place this folder is kept?
I have not purged the old stuff yet.

Wire bonding can be as good as any other packaging technique, but I agree, only the most cost sensitive manufactures seem to use it. The first time I saw it used on one my microcontrollers was in an RCA branded universal remote that I picked up at the nearby Walmart for $7 after we heard it was in there. They had used the cheapest, single sided PCB you can imagine and chosen to purchase the micros from our distributor as bare die and wire bond them to the circuit board. By the way, I've always known the official name for the black blob of epoxy is pookey, but that may be a colloquialism like way car or hack or cabin. ;-)

Re: Help with JMRI and Digitrax PR4
Hi Steve,

fix the issue. That is why I¡¯m wondering if the port settings are correct.

PR4
?
Rich,
I'm
not near my layout computer so I can't check the other settings, but the COM
port depends on what Windows has assigned. Open Device Manager, expand the ports
section, and plug/unplug the PR4 into the SAME USB port.? The COM port
number that comes and goes when you do that is the one to use.
Also, I've
found that sometimes I have to "reset" my PR4 by removing the USB and power,
letting it sit for maybe 30 seconds, then plugging everything back in. That
seems to fix the occasional flakiness (which is triggered by, as far as I can
tell, by switching between PR4 modes of
operation).
HTH,

Re: How do I delete simulation panels?
Scott,
Tribbles.
1. Open the panels file. [Open Panels...]
2. Delete each unwanted panel.
3. Store the panels file. [Store Panels...] (maybe with a new name, but not necessarily)
This happens because each 'Panels File' saves all of the panels that were active when it was stored. Closing a panel window just hides the panel, it is still active, and will get stored when the Store Panels is selected. Deleting a panel window removes it from the active list, but not from your computer file, so it will simply re-appear the next time that you load panels unless you save the state of things after you have deleted it from active memory.

Re: Virtual Sound Decoder - Clicks on looped sound files
Roberto,
Thanks for the reply.? Looks like i will have to delve deeper into my WavePad Sound Editor program.? As of now I only use it to verify the wav format and listen to the sound.
That's the excitement of this hobby.? I've learned a little about HTML editing and now on to sound editing.? ?Of course, as is said, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing!

Re: Virtual Sound Decoder - Clicks on looped sound files
looping sounds can be somewhat problematic. As already stated, wave files mst be the same format to avoid problems. Another thing that may help is to establish the? cut in/ cut out points in the wave file when the wave line (in the waveform chart) crosses the zero. This not always guarantees a click free looped sound if the cut point is not positioned at the right spot. Sounds usually have recurring patterns which should be graphically detected in the waveform and the cuts should be strictly made at the beginnings/ ends of these patterns. Sais that, it'snot exact science and results may vary depeidning onthe chosen sound. I already had great success AND big failures at this. Fiddling is your best ally.

I have purchased 5 of these decoders from the seller. XL manufactures the decoders for MRC and come with full warranty , basic instructions shipped in static free bag and return policy is 9$ return shipping. He and 1 other seller are selling these. I put sound in all my Kato F7¡¯s for 30$ each is what he accepted my offer. They are drop in as the only thing that had to be done was remove the 6 mins on the top of the chassis to get the board to sit fully down as with other decoders to slide into the contact areas correctly. But I¡¯m happy so far. Just thought I¡¯d chime in. I model N scale.?

Please note that dialogs triggered on the JMRI native panel (regardless of what triggered them) block the panel from updating, so the web panel (from either the /panel or /frame URLs)
- does not get any updates until the dialog is dealt with
- has no way (without a significant rewrite of the native panel) to be aware of the need to display a dialog or aware of the need to notify an operator to use the native panel
- may cause that dialog to be displayed on a JMRI instance where something else is in the front (another panel perhaps)?
These are limitations of bolting a web server onto JMRI and the primary panel developers not developing with the web server in mind (I¡¯ve had one who I won¡¯t call out tell me that the only correct way to address this complexity is to remove the web server).

Thank you, Wouter, for your intervention. However, the topic may be closed now as far as I am concerned.
Bob, Paul,
You should have left me in ignorance, a bliss. The more I have learned on the theory of sending Z21 CAN messages the more I don't understand - my fault, no doubt about it - hence I had better not ask any more question. Paul, you were advising me, on practical grounds, against using such messages in my present problem, anyway.
Nevertheless, I am grateful for all your information.
