Locked Getting an Error 308 on new setup. #digitrax #pr4


 

Afternoon,

?

I'm just setting up JMRI on my layout, (N Gauge-not that it matters.)? My system is as follows:

?

Zephyr 50

PR4

PTB-100

Jmri Version 3.10.1-r28327

??? Java 1.6.0_37

Configuration

??? Digitrax

??? LocoNet PR3

??? Com4???

??? PR3 Stand-alone

?

PR4 has a blinking Green, Solid Red and Blue indicators

PTB-100 has a steady Green and after trying to read from a decoder I see a flashing Yellow

?

Problem, keep getting an Error 308

?

Have tried a Soundtraxx Tsunami installed in an Atlas 2-8-8-2 and an Atlas S2 with ESU Factory installed.

Both failed.

?

Any Ideas what my issue is?

?

Thanks

?

JMRI 3.10 is rather dated.

The Digitrax PR4, contrary o the PR3, prefers Direct Byte mode while the PR3 worked when in Paged mode.? Changes were added to later versions of JMRI regarding this preference.

So I suggest you try and use the PR4 in Direct Byte.

Royce,

In addition to Marc's suggestion to update to a newer version of JMRI, if you're trying to use the PR4 as a stand-alone programmer you should get rid of the PTB-100. It's not needed with the PR4 and anecdotal evidence indicates it actually prevents the PR4 from reading some makes/models of sound decoders.

Sorry for the delay.? Had several other items to address today.

?

Thanks for the help.? The Direct mode alone did not fix the issue.? Your suggestion of taking off the PRB-100 was also needed.? The two suggestions together corrected the issue and I was able to read and program several locos.? I still have and issue with one that has a older Tsunami decoder that doesn’t read it correctly.? Guess I will try a reset with the Zephyr.

?

Thanks for your help.

You might try using the PTB-100 with the older Tsunami decoder and the PR4.? The combination might work, then again it might not.?

My setup has the PTB-100 as a permanent fixture to my Programming environment.? I only use older Tsunami decoders as I have'nt purchased a new decoder in years..
