Unable to Delete a Sensor; Then a Java Error Displays when Storing the XML
4
Problem Statement: Using the attached config. I try to delete this sensor: IS51 Show Route: Sawmill to Team 2 V2. On the Sensors panel, the item is not deleted but I get no error message. I've been fighting this for a few hours and I THINK I saw that, once I get this behavior, then no Sensors will be deleted from then on, until you restart PanelPro. When I store the modified config, I get the error message shown in the attached log. Resolution: I finally figured out that, at one time, on the Route: Sawmill to Team 2, I had assigned the IS51 sensor as a "Sensor that activates when all Route Turnouts are correctly aligned". When I removed that association, I was able to delete IS51 and all was good. So, I'm okay now. Followup Request: I think that PanelPro should have detected that IS51 was used by the Route and should have stopped the Delete action from proceeding. I've seen it give a message when it detects that a Sensor is used somewhere and then stopped the Delete from proceeding. I actually did check the "Usage" tab for IS51 before trying to delete it and it said it wasn't used anywhere.

Hi all, I recently started to use JMRI and I can control my trains just fine, but I would like to set de display to dark mode. My system info: A raspberry pi 4 running on raspberry pi OS bookworm, JMRI version 5.10 and JAVA version 17. I read on the JMRI page that dark mode has been implemented some versions back already, but I've been unable to find the button mentioned on jmri.org The following was mentioned on jmri.org: There's a new "DarkLAF HC" dark-mode setting for the display. To use it, select Settings then Display, then click the button for "DarkLAF HC". When I go to the settings and select display there is no button for DarkLAF HC, I added a screenshot of this. Anyone an idea what's going wrong? Am I in the wrong menu or is something else wrong?

SML for Reversing Loops
2
I constructed a simple layout editor panel with two back to back reverse loops. The "auto generate signaling pairs" only created 1 pair. I created the other 7 manually and did enough sanity checks (occupancy and turnout states) to convince myself that the signal aspects work as expected. Is there a problem for JMRI signal pair recognition in this somewhat strange configuration or am I approaching the problem incorrectly? I uploaded the panel file to a problems being worked on folder, Snorkel, if someone is interested. -- -Ralph

OK, here's an off-the-wall question: I had a break in my hobby from ten years ago to about two years ago. I am now back to working on JMRI and trying to automate some trains. I rememberr seeing a YouTube video of: 1. a gentleman somewhere in the UK demonstrating how he runs JMRI. 2. He showed a portion of his layout with a view showing (I think four) monitors, displaying JMRI information, with the train visible in the video. 3. He clicked on a train on one of the monitors. I don't remember if on a track diagram or in a table of trains. 4. He clicked on where he wanted it to go, I think this was on a list of possible destinations, and showed that the train then drove to the destination. It was a short movment and all visible without the camera moving, as I recall. Problem is, I can't find that video. I know I watched it at llong time ago,, most likely more than ten before my hobby break. I have no idea how old the video was when I saw it, in fact. Here;s the $64,000 question: Can anyone here stee me to that video?

truncated text labels

#labels
Good morning all, windows 11, jmri 5.11.4 Java 17 my panels are Layout Editor panels. I'm noticing that almost all of my text labels are getting cut short. example, "Track2" looks like this "Trac..." on the panel. I try to fix each instance of this occance, store all tables and panels after the fix, but when I restart panel pro, the issue returns. is there a fix to this problem?

5.11.4 Assistance Needed, Ghost Blocks Issue, Dispatcher Issue
2
#dispatcher
I think I finally learned enough to make it thru SML but am stuck on Dispatcher which may be related to ghost blocks. I made all turnouts ghost, added sensor and have no logic although I show the sensor on layout and the layout never shows entry occupancy and exit. I initially used auto-generated sections but it was difficult for me to interpret so I deleted all and made a couple simple sections for testing. It initially stopped on a ghost block but by manually setting/clearing sensor the loco moved on and then stopped after going past a level crossing. (There was nothing in the log.) I've tried a few things but can't relate to what dispatcher is thinking. Uploaded file to problems as GGNN.xml from stevemac. I'm new yearning for knowledge so tell me anything. Any advice appreciated.

Tom, Since we had an offline personal conversation about JMRI-CMRI compatibility problem 2 years ago, I am writing directly to you with CC the jmriusers to make sure that someone sees this, My system info: Panel Pro 3.10.1-r28327 Java 1.8.0_421 (en.ca) Reason for using this old software is because my JMRI panels made many years ago were incompatible with current JMRI and Java when I upgraded my home computer to a Windows 10 machine in 2023. The panel display was badly corrupted and Tom helped me instal old versions of JMRI and Java on the new Windows 10 machine in June 23, 2023 The executable JMRI panel file is ported to an old XP machine running the CMRI signalling system composed of CMRI RS232 to RS 484 Conversion card connected to 2 SMINI’s. This worked fine until the old XP machine died. Trying to use a Windows computer running Windows 10, but when using the JMRI Panel Pro version 3.10.1 on simulation it works OK, but when going to Preferences to go on line and trying to connect to serial port, JMRI crashes whether saving or not. The JMRI program now has been corrupted. Had to delete JMRI and copy in JMRI directory of files that we had saved. Now Panel Pro starts up in Simulation mode but will not run in on line CMRI mode. Looks like the old version of JMRI executable is incompatible with Windows 10. Tried to instal latest JMRI into another machine to see if I could get JMRI latest release to run online to CMRI on the Windows 10 machine and it downloads all the way to the un instal JMRI program and goes no further and hangs up. That may be an issue with this computer’s Windows setup as it cannot uninstall any other applications either. Have seen on JMRI user that there are issues with Windows 10 and serial ports. . This crash happens whether the UTS-TOS USB to RS485/232 is plugged into or not to a USB port on the computer. Tried both the 2 com Port COM! & COM3 that were offered. Then Panel Pro will not start at all even after rebooting the computer. Will try to download latest JMRI and Java into a different computer later. Thank you, Bob Winterton I included the email chain with Tom Pearson below. On Jun 24, 2023, at 2:25 PM, bobwinterton@... wrote: ? Tom, Installed Java SE 8 , and JMRI 3.10.1 with your links , and all OK and up and running. The uninstall button on the JAVA in Windows 10 Settings did the job and had no problems installing Java releases. I see no need to try the transitioning a release at a time to get up to date as proposed in some topic messages. No plans to make any changes that I can't make with this old version of Panel Pro which I understand. It is serving us well with CTC and APBS controls for 8 years. many thanks for your clear and concise instructions, so I did not have to wade through release notes and other documentation. As you noticed from my posts I did find that my Panels files were quite graphics incompatible with the current JMRI Panel Pro. Upgrading would be a nightmare in trying to redo the Panels. Would have to start from scratch, about a year's worth of trial and error. BTW, I had professional CPR railway personnel and railway documents that helped me get all the aspects for each location on Schreiber Division that we modelled correctly. The retired railway operating guys ( not just CP) who have operated trains here in our op sessions really enjoy it immensely. Bruce Chubb was also involved in helping us get good colour renditions for LED's, that I tested from a number of sources. Yes you guessed already , that I am an electrical engineer hardware and software developer and project manager in another life. Really appreciate all the work and time you and many others have put into this project. Thank you all !! Bob From: Tom <Texpearson@...> Sent: Friday, June 23, 2023 9:54 PM To: bobwinterton@... Subject: Re: Private: Re: [jmriusers] Problem downloading new version of JMRI and Java in new computer running Windows 10 One thing I forgot to mention is cleaning up and removing versions of Java you aren’t using.

Closing or Teminating Scripts

#scripting
In my quest of developing scripts, I often test, re-write, save (under a new name), re-run and continue. After hearing an old script still running.... and I checked the theads; nothing is runing, or so I thought. So without rebooting JMRI, hoe wo a check, and close active scrpts running in the back ground? Be patient with me, this old bird is learning fast. Darrin Calcutt Canadian Locomotive Logistics

WiThrottle function master list
5
#functionlabels
A friend came over yesterday for an zoos session and showed me how to set the function list on JMRI for a locomotive so when using WiThrottle it shows “horn, bell, ditch lights, step lights” etc instead of “5, 6, 7.” My question is, he showed me how to set it for an individual locomotive. I have a roaster of about 150… and they are all programmed exactly the same functions. Is there a way to set a master function list for JMRI so that a WiThrottle will show the same function list for each locomotive? Thanks Lou -- Modeling Conrail’s Boston Line in HO https://youtube.com/channel/UCipciZLAehrvcFpTWoOJsDQ

I want to modify the "PreferencesExamples" script to show me the - Preferences - System manufacture and System connection. I want to check when I'm in " Digitrax - LocoNet Simulator " mode, for use in another script. I can't find the info on how to reference these points. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Can‘t Connect WiThrottle with PanelPro WiFi server

Gentlemen, using latest version of PanelPro, Digitrax, Windows 11. I am unable to connect with WiThrottle App to control engines. I have a good connection either the Internet, and all other Apps on my iPhone function. When I open PanelPro a window opens that indicates the server is listening on a certain IP address which has functioned in the past. This failure is new. what‘s up? Ed Nowicki

Java version 21.0.6

#java
I have just upgraded the club computer to Linux Mint 22. As part of that upgrade, the system installed Java version 21.0.6. The JMRI version installed is5.2. I plan to upgrade it to 5.10. Will that version of JMRI be compatible with java 21, or do I need to change to java 17? I don't see that java 21 is recommended on the JMRI website. Dave Morgan https://www.tcmr.club/

Another Could not create JAVA virtual machine problem solved by GROK
2
#java
The last thread on this topic seems to have been locked.and I didn't see a resolution. I installed JMRI and Azul Java 17 in January on a Windows 11 laptop that was a couple months old. It worked fine then. Today I got the dreaded cannot create the Java virtual machine. I could not find anything helpful here except type JAVA -version into the command prompt. That got me not the version but this: extensions mechanism no longer supported; Use -classpath instead. I tried repairing JAVA, I deleted it and reinstalled it with reboots between each step. No success I consulted GROK. Eventually it had me search for: JAVA_HOME>JRE/LIB/EXT I had a heck of a time finding it, because AZUL doesn't install a file called JAVA. Nor did I ever find a JAVA_HOME. I did find JAVA files in my ThinkorSwim directory (a stock market program) Eventually I discovered the lib file; it is in the Program Files in the ZULU directory. I tried renaming the LIB file to old LIB, but that didn't work. GROK had me change it back to LIB and look for files with the .jar extension in the EXT folder. I moved that single file to a new file on the desktop as well as one that was in the LIB directory. That still didn't solve my problem. GROK told me to change EXT to old EXT. That worked. Decoder Pro works and so does Thinkorswim. ThinkorSwim, unbeknownst to me also uses Java. I reinstalled it after I installed DecoderPro and Zulu's maybe that cause my problem? For you JAVA geeks here is my whole conversation with GROK. It is long because I am the opposite of a JAVA geek and it started with what is -classpath. https://x.com/i/grok?conversation=1903914814411256108 Hopefully it helps someone. -- Henry S,
