Withrottle - throttle app connection issues (IP address)
5
#withrottleserver
Recently after some tinkering i was able to get my JMRI up and running with the layout. My main use will be for the wifi throttle capabilities to run trains on my phone. For some reason I'm unable to connect to the server on my phone. Sometimes the server will pop up in the app and sometimes it wont and i have to search for it. Whenever i try to connect to it though it says, "failed to connect" and then reads out the IP address. I believe my issue is that the IP address on my phone is different from the one on the computer (which hosts the server so its the same as JMRI). What i dont understand is that they're both connected to the same WIFI. How am i supposed to connect to it, if the IP address on my phone is different. They need to be the same or it wont let me connect. Any help would be appreciated

Question about QSI decoders
3
#qsi
#sprog
Hi everybody, for many years I have had several locomotives that were equipped with QSI decoders. Recently I needed to reset one of them and Decoder Pro didn¡¯t seem to recognize them as QSI. I ended up doing it on a generic CV configuration. Yesterday, it happened again with a different locomotive. My programming track is powered with a sprog. I¡¯m pretty sure that QSI went out of business. So do y¡¯all know if this is something? I¡¯m just gonna have to deal with now? Larry Sloan Eat, Sleep, Work, Play with trains

PanelPro roster disappeared
3
It¡¯s probably been asked many times before but could someone tell me why, when opening PanelPro and selecting the Roster tab, the top of the selection list is ¡°Open DecoderPro¡± rather than simply being able to select the roster? I assume the roster location has somehow been changed. Any help to get this resolved will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, David.

Disconnect between signal aspect showing on JMRI and ACTUAL signal aspect on layout
8
#nce
Hi JMRI user group, This little black duck in St. Clair, Sydney, finally got some signalling up & running, sort of... Is there any known issue[s] with JMRI and NCE that would cause JMRI to correctly show the aspect of a given [3 aspect] signal, BUT have the equivalent physical signal on my layout inconsistently update [or not] its aspect? Note I said 'inconsistently', because some of the time a given signal will update correctly, another time not. [And it is not always the same signal that fails to update; it all appears rather random.] SOME DETAILS Simple loop running at present under test. Approximately 15 signals in the large-ish loop. Currently running LOGIX programmed to have one signal RED, one signal AMBER, the remainder GREEN. Logix operates correctly 'on screen' or 'virtually'. I have tried various ways of programming the signal sequence, but always run into the same problem of inconsistent updating of aspects. HARDWARE - all NCE NCE PowerPro, NCE BD20 sensors [all track 'sensed'], NCE AIUs, their channels switched via the sensors. Each signal is connected to an NCE 'Light-it' stationary decoder acting as its driver. ADDITIONAL OBSERVATIONS Signals, when manually operated from the PC [JMRI signal table] update as directed 'on screen' & 'on layout', no failures. AIU on board channel indicators [LEDs] operate correctly and cause JMRI sensor table to shown sensors as 'active' or 'inactive' as expected. At one point I thought there may be data loss occurring through the 'bus' between the NCE system and the signal drivers, but this doesn't appear to be the case. I say this because I have one of the signals connected to the 'track bus' within 6 inches of the NCE box - and it still fails to update at times. I can't take the project any further until reliability of correct aspect be attained. I can supply more detailed info to anyone who thinks they can help. Regards, Nimble

? Dear Steve or anyone else who can help You said ¡° in the selection box at the bottom, enter jmri.jmrit.dispatcher Select TRACE from the level selector, Click Set new logging level. View the output in the main JMRI console.¡± You said this will tell me how the speed changes are being calculated. Which i did. But if you check the system console you will see when i did as you said but after that message there is nothing coming from the dispatcher telling me about speed changes. Exactly where is the info? If you check the monitor data , which apparently has lost the data at the startup and the creation of the trains, the train t4912 in slot 13 which had its max speed set to 100 at creation is being assigned a speed of 61 on restarts and t53 in slot 8 which had its max speed on creation set to 40 is running at speed 51 on restarts. I assume its suppose to be assigned a normal speed on startup with warrants normal set at 100% throttle and warrants slow at 50% throttle. So why is the speed of t53 ¡®51¡¯ greater than normal on restart (40 max on creation) while the speed of t4912 about correct if its set to slow. I have no idea what¡¯s happening and the system console has no information which you implied it would Please explain whats going on The data below is not for analysis but to be used to explain what i am doing wrong Also please explain how to read the few warnings that is telling me about the blocks and sensors which constantly repeat.

JMRI PANEL PRO STARTUP FAILURE
2
using jmri 5.10 i open panel pro which ,on startup, opens system console, loconet monitor, slot monitor , 4 speedoipmeters,clock,dispatcher, then opens default throttles-10 throttles, 8 set with decoder numbers and the last 2 without any engine selected. everything opens properly until the last throttle when i get message window saying ¡°failed to create throttle¡± . The panel pro window opens last but is empty of information as the error window. i can control the cursor but cannot close any windows. Except for cursor movement the computer does not respond to any click. i force shut off the computer and restart when everything loads fine. this happens every time the computer is turned on for the first time. its a dell laptop running windows 11. Dell just reinstalled the bios and a bunch of other things. this happened both before and after the bios updates. any idea what could let the software not create a new throttle and then freeze. tony

I have two Nce power cabs. Both with upgraded chips. Both work perfect on my programming track as well as on the main . The challenge I am having is that only one of the Pcabs works with Jmri as in being able to program my decoders. The other one just will not . The message i get on the system console as per attached screenshot. As far as I know they both have the equivalent settings.

Traversing Blocks too quick or too slow - Dispatcher vs Warrants
2
I know with Warrants, it can take action if an autotrain is not traversing blocks at the appropriate duration (described in the doco as...) Warrant dynamic speed profiling, measurements are made over straight level track, but also upgrade, down grade, curved gently or severely, running light or pulling 30+ cars. The track speeds are not going to be all the same for a given throttle setting When merging, new values are averaged with the old, with the intention of a composite speed profile that reflects average use. Does Dispatcher have such functionality or an equivalent? -- H.O.

Full write of stored CVs to restore corrupted decoder
4
I returned to my layout after a lengthy vacation and attempted to Start running a pair of locomotives that I had successfully speed managed to speed match, and found that neither loco would move. The track and wheels are not dirty. The start-up sounds work, and lighting, horn, and bell commands all work. I am wondering if I can over write motor and speed settings stored in decoder pro. If so, what is the process? -- Neil of Bird Town Minnesota - Coffeeville Line

LogixNG class based show/hide and enable/disable for Senor icons requires web page refresh
3
#layouteditor
#logixng
I'm using Class based control of layout editor panel icons. In particular show/hide but have also tried enable/disable. e.g. 1: LogixNG: DisableYardRoutes 2: ConditionalNG: EF-L2 ::: Startup 3: ! A 4: Many 5: ! A1 6: If Then Else. Execute on change 7: ? If 8: Sensor TD-EF-L2-Stop is Inactive 9: ! Then 10: Set icon/label by class "DisableableEFL2Sensor" on panel "Exeter Yard Control" to "Hide" 11: ! Else 12: Set icon/label by class "DisableableEFL2Sensor" on panel "Exeter Yard Control" to "Show" 13: ! A2 Whilst the function seem to operate successfully my problem is with display refresh. On the 'native' JMRI panel refresh is delayed until the mouse is moved into panel window. On web browser the situation is worse in that the panel needs a refresh (F5) before the updates take effect. I was hoping to use the method for dynamic control of sensor icon visibility (or to disable sensor), but the web issue especially make me wonder if I'll have to think of another method. I was hoping to use the method to display available options for controlling train movements into and out of fiddle yards. I'm using jmri 5.11.5 with java 21.0.6 under Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS Thanks Andy

I was able to get the interface to be seen by the computer when running it through the cobalt power box. I could see it through the DecoderPro but when trying to use PanelPro for the wireless throttle i ran into an issue. The button to turn the server on was yellow and i was unable to turn it on or off. It gave me a message saying that power was unknown and to click to turn it off, but that didn't work. I then tried to use the interface normally through just the NCE powerCab and to my surprise the same issue was happening. DecoderPro could see it but i noticed that the power button located on the top right was also yellow. My goal is to get WiFi throttle to work but i was unable to even turn on the server through PanelPro and I'm unsure of what the issue is Essentially I've hit a wall where I can't seem to power on or see the power status of my NCE when working with the application. I need to find out how to be able to turn this on to see if i can get the WiFi to work with just the NCE System itself.

Multiple RFID tags in one block
7
I must admit I am having a hard time grasping all the options available for RFID, reporters and block tracking. Is there a way to handle more than one RFID tag in a block? If I had RFID tags on all units, and RFID readers on all block borders, I would have a train of tags moving around. A double reader could indicate the direction of travel. On my 1:8 scale garden railroad this is quite feasible. A Cbus node with an arduino nano and 2 cheap readers on every block border could do the job. A tag should be in only 1 block - when a it enters a block it should be removed from any previous block. Block occupancy is based on at least 1 tag in the block, to be shown on the panel. But how can I do this in JMRI? Regards, Torgrim

Hello, and thank you for accepting me into the group. I live in Stockholm, Sweden, and play around with a variety of digital equipment from ESU, M?rklin, and Zimo. I came across JMRI app because I am looking for the decoder reader of the settings of PIKO and D&H. Equipment seems to work, as it is reading out the CV, but the problem is that it comes in the random order, for example it returns different numbers even with the same CV input. JMRI version 5.11.5+R6be2a2b4e8 Java version 17.0.12 MXULF 00.84.112 / COM port 3 Is this common issue in this version, that MXULF is not supported, or is this the case of something else? Best regards Jonas

I have an issue I can't track down and think it might have something to do with ghost block. It's repeatable. Every car in both trains is detectable. (I use BDL716 and tests show it very sensitive and reliable.) Amtrak (top left in screenshot), FEC (bottom right in screenshot) Amtrak has higher priority Waits about half a block west of the turnout for it to close before proceeding thru eastbound FEC stops at beginning of block Turnout closes and Amtrak proceeds eastbound Dispatcher throws turnout as soon as preceding block clears and before last passenger car clears causing short Here's a screenshot and some logs: Dispatcher allocated the turnout and threw it while a car was on the turnout. It shouldn't matter for this but my blocks are all longer than the train and have accurate dimensions as well as the train has accurate dimensions. I also check full train in autotrain. I don't believe an intermittent bounce would matter since the BDL716 has debounce and I've never seen the test LEDs on BDL flicker. Here's a log snippet of the action.

Did the program tell it to run at spped 0 or another speed and the engine just physicall didnt respond which happens with this european engine at low speeds? 3. After t150 cleared b38 then t103 starts running. what did the program do to now get it moving?

WiFi Throttle Handset
8
I¡¯m looking for a handheld physical throttle for use on a WiThrottle/JMRI/NCE system. I¡¯m pretty sure I saw information on here about a sleek device with buttons down the sides and a narrow screen down the middle showing the functions allocated, but I can¡¯t find it now. I¡¯d welcome any or all suggestions. I¡¯m experimenting with an old iPhone at the moment, but I¡¯m not keen on touch screens for this role. thanks

Backups
5
in previous versions of jmri i got hundreds of backups of panels automatically without me doing a backup. using jmri 5.10 i open a profile which opens a layout panel. The panel had a table of switches in which i mistakenly erased the switches and saved the tables. i want to remove the latest panel and restore the panel with the switches table in it. i cannot find where the backup was stored. How do i find the panel with the table that existed before the erasure? I checked very directory and suspect this version of jmri does not automatically back up. Tony

SPEED used by train in automation
18
can anyone tell me how the speed of a train traveling in automation is determined as it entered each section when using sml virtual signals on a layout panel. there is the speed set in block tables, there is the speed definitions and their speeds and there is the max speed set when creating a train. what is their relationship to each other. in preference /warrents page what is %script mean, what is %throttle mean? tony

Hi folks, First of all, just to say that I am finding LogixNG pretty amazing. A bit of a learning curve but, so far, it has handled everything that I have dreamed up without the need to start writing Jython code. I do just want to share what I have been doing to make sure that I am on the right track. I also have one specific question....... I have a LogixNG which is set to run at startup: It has several Conditional NGs within it: I can see that they run sequentially - is my assumption that each one will finish before the next one starts correct? I think I can see that when one of the NGs talks to MERG CBUS, it does so asynchronously. In other words, the execution of the NGs carries on whilst CBUS "catches up". For example in the Sensors Conditional NG..... ....somewhere in the background A1 causes a whole load of status requests to be sent to CBUS. I have tried to make the NG hang around for a bit with the operation at A2. I am not sure whether that is supposed to work as I am expecting? Assuming it does, then am I right that the Sensors Conditional NG will tell some other part of JMRI to send all of the status requests and will then wait ten seconds before the next Conditional NG (Points) runs? If not, then a pointer would be appreciated as to if/how I can "slow down" progression through the Conditional NGs. Better still, and I suspect the answer is "no", is there any way in a Conditional NG to say something like "wait until there are no more messages [from JMRI] being sent to CBUS"? That would be a lot neater than using an arbitrary time delay. Thanks for reading, and any advice would be very welcome. Cheers, Nick

JMRI script; Digitrax DCS52 resetting speed to 0 while JMRI script running
6
Hi, I have only recently started using JMRI, a steep learning curve, and scripting using modified JMRI example scripts. I am running JMRI version 4.26, Jarva 1.8.0_40 on a Win 11 PC. The layout is controlled using Loconet: DCS52 and CAN via MERG. I hope that this list is the appropriate place for my query. Using the BackandForth.py (modified) I have managed to get a loco to go back & forth several times. The problem I have is that the loco randomly stops. Using the Loconet Monitor I found that the DCS52 sends ¡°Set speed of loco in slot 9 to 0¡± at intervals, which causes the loco to stop mid script. Is there some way to stop these DSC52 commands? Or am I not taking proper control in the script. I have attached a copy of the script. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Regards, Tim
