Lock Control Panel Position on Tablet
Team,
I've got a bunch of Control Panels that I view on Tablets all working fine and there is a slight annoyance that occurs when I inadvertently swipe the tablet screen and the whole panel moves about 1/4"-1/2" vertically and it also can also move horizontally about the same amount. See attached photos. Is there a way to lock the panel so that this doesn't happen or what can I do to prevent this?

Connect to Marklin Central station with TCP
#maerklin
Hello,
?
I would like to use the TCP protocol to connect to a M?rklin central station 3 (or, in my case, ?a surrogate). The current JMRI implementation uses UDP which has been deprecated in favor of TCP by M?rklin. The only thing changed is the switch from UDP to TCP; the data stream remains exactly the same. The TCP port is 15731. This should be a simple change in and of itself, but there may be need to be some change to the setup page. Any help and guidance is appreciated. Thanks.

Roger, ? Take a look at the Signal definitions for your chosen system at .? Then pick the exact signal mast you put on your panel and look at all the aspects it supports.? If the signal mast you picked has aspects like “Approach Medium”, “Approach Limited”, etc and you haven’t disabled them in the signal mast table entry, then the logic is more complicated than if the only aspects are “Stop”, “Approach” and “Clear”.?

Lets say I wanted to follow one car on my layout as it is moved on and off the layout from storage to industry back to storage back to industry, etc.? Is there an automatic way for JMRI to do that? Or do I have to do it manually?

Thanks Dan
I shut down JMRI, then amended the operations.XML file, saved the file then restarted JMRI but it didn’t take.

Re: Adding Signal Heads @ Dbl Slip using "Set Signal Heads at a Slip" Tool
#ssl
#layouteditor
Paul,
My understanding is that the message occurs when it is not possible to find a "next" signal head to be protected.
If you upload the layout data xml file to the group's ProblemsBeingWorkedOn file folder, it might be possible to identify the issue.

Good evening Moderators and group:
?
My setup:
Win10, Digitrax PR3
Digitrax DCS210, DCS50 (throttle/ booster only), DT400, DT500
SE8C x2, BDL16 x2, SE74 x2, DS64 x4, UR90 x2, UP5
Signals are Digitrax SHABC and SH2AB
Panel Pro 5.2+R760b98537f, java 11.0.19
?
The layout is essentially a reversing loop to reversing loop arrangement, with SSL installed over most of the layout and working correctly.
I have a Layout Editor panel which correctly displays occupancy, powered turnout positions and signal aspects and correctly match what is displayed on the physical layout.
?
There is 1 powered double slip that I am now trying to add SSL to using the "Set Signal Heads at a Slip" Tool.
I used an earlier post by Dave Sand as a guide ... #233359.
However, I get the following error:
"Cannot set up logic because next signal (in or at the end of block "Block_1" is apparently not yet defined"
There are 4 block boundaries defined (the slip is part of Block_1 as well), and signal heads at all of these boundaries.
If I try to "Set Signal Heads at a Block Boundary", I get an error message that the signal heads in question are already in use on the layout diagram.
?
I placed most of the signal heads on the layout diagram and created the SSL without using the "Set Signal Heads at a Block Boundary" or other tools ... could this be part of my difficulty? Perhaps it's time to move to SML?
I would be grateful for any suggestions as to how to proceed from here.
Thank you all,
Paul Young

Peter,
Based on your description, you have different "profiles" for DecoderPro and PanelPro. ?And it appears that the different profiles have different layout connection definitions.
The profiles are listed in "Preferences -> Config Profiles". ?

Thankfully I can now connect to my EasyDCC command station via my Windows 11 laptop.
When opening the DecoderPro app I'd always clicked on 'My JMRI Railroad'. However, when I now do this my roster page comes up with all locos listed but no ability to program via the main or program track.
However, when fiddling around I decided to click on PanelPro instead and the connection to my command station worked, but there were no locos listed. I had to re-create the roster in PanelPro and, bingo, all came good.
So, now have all working and can program on the main and program track via the PanelPro item instead of usine the 'My JMRI Railroad' profile.
Happy that things are working but the question remains as to why?

Re: Java exception when starting JMRI 4.20 with Java 17
Don,
I did nothing of the kind.
Wouter
All,

Wouter is not the first to conflate "some extra, additional, or improved feature" of JAVA itself, with those of JMRI. The latter is certainly documented, but it is the former which I challenge. What later JAVA improvements enabled or improved JMRI code?
?
And the "precious time" argument is always laid bare when coders spend it denying bugs rather than fixing them.

Last moved by the program.? From the help:

Moves, Wait and Last Time Moved
You can edit the number of times a car has been moved by the program and the car's wait count directly from the "Cars" window. Double click on the cell in the Cars window to change. The built and owner fields can be found in the??window. The last time moved is set by the program.

Not sure why you would want the last time you manually moved the car to a new location?

Uninstalling and upgrading your JAVA is just the beginning of PITAs involved (not to even mention Windows versions needed and its hardware requirements), and no one has ever given a single, solitary example of some extra, additional, or improved feature that a later JAVA version has.

Re: Java exception when starting JMRI 4.20 with Java 17
The JAVA debate is certainly separate from the JMRI one
Unfortunately, JMRI does not control the release cycles of JAVA, but generally any a that are taken advantage of tend to make coding simpler and more efficient with no obvious external benefits. So I think we agree there
As for denying the existence of bugs - I have to disagree
JMRI has fixed at least four issues for me in the last 12 months alone
