Hello,?

?

I'm new to JMRI and I connected my NCE PowerCab via NCE USB interface to a programming track.? After a few minutes using DecoderPro, at the bottom of the screen's console the current message in green turns red, with a statement: "Service mode programmer NCE is offline".

?

This is the system log output and seems its a communication issue back to my NCE PowerCab.? Can someone tell me the cause of the error?

?

The NCE USB Interface is set to COM3 and device is working properly.? Whether the USB Version is set to 6.x.x or 7.x.x in DecoderPro, it starts online then after 10 seconds of running, the error message appears in red at the bottom.? See screenshots.? Maybe it's the USB type A to USB type B cable?

?

BTW, I have an NCE PowerCab and the NCE USB Interface jumpers are set to the following,

J1 = ON

J2 = OFF

J3 = OFF

J4 = OFF?

?

?

?

Another note, I noticed on the bottom right of DecoderPro, the options (i.e. On Programming Track / Programming On Main / Edit Only) are all greyed-out.?

?

What is causing it to be in an idle state?

Yes, I am.

Is it normal for NCE to go "offline"?? If so, is there a setting to turn it off or adjust the timing?

ISTR seeing something about the most recent (at the time) CH340 driver for Win11 not working properly. I don't need/use it, so I didn't make note of any specifics.

?

It may have been discussed on the NCE list here on groups.io (or maybe on this list?), so you may want to search the list archives.?

I'd try the CH340 drivers that post points to.? It certainly can't hurt, and it may just resolve the issue.

I'm running JMRI on my Windows 10 machine, I'll have a look at the latest drivers since it mentions my OS.? I'll keep you all posted - thanks!

Hi En-TACT

For your USB Interface set up, see Larry Puckett’s YouTubes, Part 1 at:

Be aware that the YouTube"Part 2" mentioned above refers to the CP210x drivers used for the earlier version of the NCE USB adapter, whereas based on his log AND his screen captures, the OP apparently has the newer version with the CH340 chip.

?

Needless to say, the CP210x drivers won't work with the CH340 chip.

I updated the CH340?drivers from v3.5 to v3.8.2023.02.? No change to my issue.? Again, after starting DecoderPro and after 10 seconds, the status goes from "... NCE is Online" to "... NCE is Offline".? ?

?

I'll review the video on YouTube, but I think it's something else.? Could it be the USB type A to USB type B cable I'm using?

Hello Marcus,

?

The jumpers are set to the following: 1 = OFF / 2 = ON / 3 = ON / 4 = ON

?

What do you mean by, "Set the Address of the USB Interface to 10"?? If it's the COM port, it's set to 3.

?

?

?

When I check "Additional Connection Settings", and relaunch Preferences, I find it unchecked.

?

?

?

This is my DecoderPro version, along with an error - could it be my NCE USB Interface?

?

What he means is, set the cab address of the USB interface to 10.

?

And your USB interface isn't assigned to COM3, it clearly shows COM10 in the image you posted!

It was changed to from COM10 COM3 after the screenshot.

How do I change the cab address of the USB interface to 10 - sorry I'm new.
