Locked Decoder pro
Hello
I was happy to have loaded the JMRI version 4.7.6 down two days ago. After the installation on my iMac with Sierra 10.12.5, I could immediately open decoder Pro and with my Lenz digital control to connect (I've noticed the Notes migration). All functions could be opened directly, such as new locomotive or train controller (throttle). Today, the joy is already over. Decoder Pro opens though, the Windows need but a long time for changes. In the middle of the window located above button is yellow. Usually it is green or red. Who can help? Thank you with kind regards Wolfgang Grehn |
In order to help you, we need to know some more information:

- Computer operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux) and version. - DCC hardware brand, model and connection method. - Start JMRI and go to the Help->System Console menu item, click on Copy to Clipboard and paste into a post for us to see. The Power button will be yellow if layout state is unknown. This is normal for some systems (e.g. NCE) but if it is abnormal for your system it indicates a connection failure. -- Dave in Australia On 29 Jun 2017, at 4:23 AM, grehnwolfgang@...

The presence of "cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port" indicates the chosen port is certainly not correct. What other choices are available in the Preferences dropdown list?

A Lenz user with a Mac should be able to indicate what the correct port name looks like. -- Dave in Australia On 30 Jun 2017, at 3:29 AM, Wolfgang Grehn grehnwolfgang@... [jmriusers] <jmriusers@...> wrote: |

Hi Dave,.
Decoder pro works quickly and well. I think the following is important: Start DCC station Connect USB cable to Mac run decoder pro Then, following connection options appear under Preferences: CU.usbserial... CU.Bluetooth... Thank you Greetings from Weil am Rhein Germany Am 29.06.2017 um 20:41 schrieb Dave Heap dgheap@... [jmriusers] <jmriusers@...>: [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
Correct. The port you want will not appear on a Mac until you plug in the USB cable for the device and its driver loads. I usually find it necessary to do that before starting DecoderPro.

Another way to check what port is being loaded by your device is: Unplug your device. Open a Terminal Window (from /Applications/Utilities), copy and paste the following command in EXACTLY (including spaces and punctuation) then press Enter. while : ;do clear;ls -lt /dev|head;i=$((i+1));echo $i;sleep 1;done This command should show about 10 lines of output and then sit looping, with a counter incrementing every second. Plug your device back in and wait a few seconds. Two new items with names like cu.xxx and tty.xxx should appear in the list. They should disappear if you unplug your device. If this does not happen, you do not have the correct drivers installed for your device and you will need to solve that before proceeding further. Once you have found your device, write down the name you see.You want the cu.xxx version not the tty.xxx version. If you have got this far you know your device is be being seen by the Mac, that it has a matching driver installed and the name of the connection port "cu.xxx" you need to select in JMRI. If you cannot get this far, there's no way JMRI can find your device until the driver issue is resolved. Note that in the latest test versions of JMRI we have changed the external library we use for serial ports and you may not see the tty. device any more (or even the cu. prefix). -- Dave in Australia On 1 Jul 2017, at 3:51 AM, Wolfgang Grehn grehnwolfgang@...
