Someone asked about the locobuffer jumper settings. Here's the info based
on the schematic John Jabour posted:

JP1 Baud rate
1-2 19200
2-3 57600

JP2 Echo
1-2 off
2-3 on

JP3 Operating Mode
1-2 MS100 compatibiity mode
2-3 LocoBuffer mode

JP4, JP5 Programming
1-2 Normal
2-3 Program

Notes:
1. I think that you need to cycle power after moving the jumpers before the
changes take effect.
2. JP4 and JP5 should always be 1-2 unless you are reprogramming the PIC.
It seem that once we learn something, we might be forgetting it too.

Should someone be keeping a FAQ/Trouble shooting Log for each thing we
learn in terms of system setup? Take error messages and translated them
into check actions ect.... I hate to see BOB spend lots of time in the
future addressing common communication problems.

The log should include accessories Q&A such a Locobuffer setup info and
checks. Same with USB to Serial Adapters. You get the ideas.

Personally I do not have the time, but maybe others do. In the end I
hope that this file be included with the install as part of the
documentation.

Just an Idea...

And a _very_ good idea. I've put a little of this info onto the web pages, but if somebody wanted to write a section of the manual on troubleshooting, it would help a bunch of people.

Unfortunately, I'm having trouble even keeping up with the email, as this late reply attests. There's this blasted day job....

That would be great! There are lots of people here willing to help with details, etc, but if you could pull things together that would be a big help.

OK! Then... I'll browse through the archives, but it would also be helpful
if people sent me some solutions (or at least the problems - I can try and
find the solutions in the archives). Michael.maloney@[no_spam]verizon.net

If you will be e-mailing me, please put JMRI FAQ in the subject line.

Thanks,
Mike M.
