I have been using DecoderPro for several years and purchased a new loco today then direct up DecoderPro to add it into the stable, and whilst DecoderPro shows me as connected to the Z21 with the green statements down the bottom and it will identify and existing loco I cannot add a new loco.

when I try to add a new loco the page display showing the list of decoder by I cannot read decoder type as the button is greyed out. I also notice that if I place a loco that is already in the programme whilst DecoderPro will read and identify the loco when I open the pages for said loco the option to read sheet or all sheets from the loco is also greyed out though the ability to write changes to sheet or all sheets is available and working.

i updated tonight to the latest bpversion of JMRI to ensure that were wasn't an issue (previous version was about 6 month old) but the issue is still the same.

what am I doing wrong - can anyone tell me please. This programme is too valuable and useful not to be able to use it.

Check the Preferences, Defaults? if they are all on Z21 and not on Internal or some other option.

I do not own a ROCO system but I played around with PREFERENCES and can replicate the issue (greyed out buttons) and correct them in DEFAULTS.

Thanks for the reply and suggestion.

I have checked that and everything says that it is set for the Z21 :(

I have placed 2 screenshots in an album for you to see

Defaults

Main Screen

Any other ideas?

Cant seem to edit the last post and both links go to the same image - if you scroll back you can see the default preferences also

/g/jmriusers/photo/81943/1?p=Name,,iain,20,1,0,0

Might be the right link?

If I setup defaults as you have them (all Z21Loconet),? I also end up with greyed out on New LOCO and no read.

If I set DEFAULTS to all? Z21, then the New Loco is not greyed out and read/write appear as normal.

Suggest you visit the following link for what is supported in the JMRI / Roco environment.



Hope this is the BLACK Z21 !...

Sorry but can not be more helpful than this.

i have changed them all to Z21 and you are correct, it works again - clearly something has changed either within JMRI or with the lat st Z21 firmware (1.33) as I haven't changed these settings since I set up DecoderPro a long time ago, and it was working.

doesnt matter though - working niw

thank you

Defaults changing were issues in the previous 2 JMRI production releases. Make sure you are using at least JMRI 4.14.

So the Defaults had changed prior to the update? and just continued on till corrected.??

As Peter says, running 14.4 is good as it contains fixes to stop these infamous Connection and Defaults issues from occurring.?

i upgraded as I couldn’t connect and had assumed that it was something to do with the update of the Roco firmware - seems the issue was simply down to the defaults having changed.

however I now have the latest version and it’s working - happy days :)
