JMRI & Engine Driver Issue #enginedriver


 

Hi,
?

One for the more learned amongst us to have a look at.

?

I have the following set up?:

?

NCE Powercab, JMRI running on a Raspberry Pi via NCE USB using M Steve Todd's files, Panel Pro with a touchscreen panel to operate turnouts, turnout motors are DCC Supplies Cobalt Digital IP.

?

The touchscreen panel works exactly as intended to control the turnouts.

?

I would like the ability to use my phone to become a second throttle.

?

With Wi-Throttle server running, I connected my phone to the WiFi network created by the Raspberry Pi, opened up the Engine Driver app & connected to the server.

?

And here is where it goes wrong. Typing a loco address and then trying to move something , absolutely no response from the loco. If I try to operate a turnout motor via the accessory address , it works perfectly. The loco isn't stuck in consist mode as it works off the bat from the NCE handset using the same DCC address so as far as I know I'm not using the wrong address.

?

On the Wi Throttle server screen I can see the phone throttle is connected and even the address of the locomotive I'm trying to control. The Track power is on.

?

Can anyone give any pointers here?

?

thanks in advance


 

Richard,
Please post a screenshot of the About screen from EngineDriver while connected.
What address (exactly) are you typing in? NCE has some odd addressing, IIRC.
Also, try turning off the track power from EngineDriver and controlling Turnouts from EngineDriver. All of these will help narrow down the problem.

What is the address of the loco?
If it is below 127, is it a long DCC address or a short DCC address?

NCE is one of a small number of systems that allows you to put what are essentially short address in the long address CVs.
