Hi


I find it use full when using a panel that does not seem to be doing anything to glance at the XpressNet traffic to inevitably discover a lot is actually going on! (And then wait for stuff to quieten down). It would be neat though to have a sensor which came on when it is busy but can not work out how to do that.


Any ideas please?

That’s an interesting idea!

A script could do this. It would have to be system-specific, as traffic takes different forms for different systems. Perhaps somebody with more experience with the JMRI XpressNet code could write a sample.

Another approach would be to vampire off a Monitor window. A script could watch the text area in the window for changes, and set the Sensor active and inactive as desired. That would be a bit complicated now, but I’ll add some member functions to make that easier sometime in the next couple days.

JMRI 4.9.1 (sometime soon) will make the text area accessible, so that somebody could write this script if they’d like to.

Thanks Bob


I have done a little Python Programming and will have a look.
