Locked Request for a little help please on panels and roster throttle.


Robert Schworm
 

Hello,

Can anyone suggest how to use one monitor with more than 1 panel? ?Is there a way to drop one panel and focus on another one, that is to say, to operate between 2 panels?

In the Roster page, under labels and icons, there are a row of small squares labeled ON and OFF. ?You are suppose to be able to "drop" icons ( pictures?) on these squares. ?These show up on your function buttons in place of the words. ?For example a horn or a bell picture. ?Great, but can not find how to implement the dropping of these icons. ?Can anyone suggest how you physically maneuver and drop these icons?

FYI the last column is a listing of radio buttons called "shunt". ?By selecting an unused button and enabling this button next to it, it alters your wii throttle from 1-100 to zero in the center and a bit of plus and minus on the throttle. ?Allows you to simply bump your speed needle up and down around "zero", for shunting your trains, which goes back to the Britts for decoupling and assembling train consists.

Thanks

Bob S


 

Bob,

Can explain the panel question in more detail? ?Normally a click on a panel will bring it to front. ?

Are the panels created using Layout Editor, Panel Editor or Control Panel Editor? ?

You can place more than one panel on the monitor, just leave parts of each visible so you can easily switch between them. My web site at

shows the Conrail and Quaker Valley panels I have on a 21 inch touch screen monitor.

Hello;

you must drop an image file (not drag and drop from a browser image window), use browser save to file feature, then drag and drop the saved file to the 'square', the image file will be copied in your JMRI preferences, no need to keep the original.

Bob S is correct. They are for dropping replacement button icons.

With your image files, I think you¡¯re trying to drop them in the wrong place. Go to the Media page and you¡¯ll see two squares. Drag and drop the image file to those squares.

They are for large and small loco icons, not button icons.

Is there a set of standard images available for the buttons.?

Would be nice to have some images for the sound locos'
