Locked NCE SwitchKat and JMRI Need assistance #enginedriver


 

Good morning, I already spoke with NCE and they really could not assist me. So now I am turning to you good folks. This actually involves 3 parts. The NCE SwitchKat, JMRI and EngineDriver on my phone. When using my Powercab I can program and use the SwitchKat to throw the Kato switches. Works as advertised. When I moved to the Phone running via JMRI the switches don't show up under the turnout page. They are DCC and they are given accessory addresses. It appears to be a JMRI issue, What am I doing wrong or what do I need to do to get it to show up under "turnouts" on my engine Driver


 

Hi Andy,
Can you throw the switches from JMRI using Tools, Turnout Control?

If so, then the easiest way to control those turnouts from EngineDriver is to define them in JMRI using Tools, Tables, Turnouts. Include? meaningful UserNames. Use File, Store to save that list as a file. Add that file to the Edit, Preferences, Startup to load each time you start JMRI. EngineDriver will then show them in its Turnout list.

An alternative is to enter them manually in EngineDriver. You'll need to enable "Turnout Creation" in Edit, Preferences, WiThrottle, Allowed Controls, to allow this.

From your description, it is not clear that you created the turnouts in JMRI.? The fact that the PowerCab can control them does not mean that JMRI can until you have created entries in the Turnout table with the correct accessory addresses.
