Locked Sticky ADMIN: >>HOW TO ASK YOUR QUESTION<< - A general reminder for everyone #admin
====================== HOW to ask your question ====================== One of the most common questions about JMRI is "How do I get it to work?". This isn't really a problem with JMRI itself in most cases, but there are HUGE numbers of possible configurations for DCC systems, and Windows, Linux, and Mac computers out there. Just asking "How do I get it to work" is NOT going to get you any useful help. When asking ANY question, you should >>>utilize a meaningful subject line<<< that indicates the problem and include the following information in the body of the message: + If JMRI has started copy and paste the System Console into the body. (its under help on the start screen) + Has JMRI worked before on this computer? + JMRI version + Previous version if you just upgraded + Java version + Previous version if you just upgraded + Computer make and model + if you have just upgraded, from which version + Any other DCC devices in use + Specific details of your difficulty including error messages if any, or what you would like to do with JMRI. Decoder Programming, Signals, Automation, etc. Depending on the nature of the problem, you may need to supply even more information, but this is the absolute required for anyone to give you accurate answers. Signing you post helps keep the group friendly and personable! Your moderators and trouble shooters.

jmri 5.10 automation no longer functions 21
need help from someone who knows the jmri automation software I opened jmri panel pro and used a layout panel used many times before with versions of jmri before 5.10. Now using 5.10 on a latest windows laptop. Test 1 I have a train in block 1 and block2. The loop is b1-b2-b3-b4-b5-b6-b1. I create train 1 located in b2 which starts up and properly stops in b6 occupying b6 and b5 I create train 2 located in b1 which starts and stops. Both trains are now stopped and each has an allocated block in front of it. Train 1 now has b1 allocated to it and train 2 which occupies b3 and b2 has b4 allocated to it. Neither train moves. I check the loconet monitor and both engine speeds were set to 0. In the past using previous versions of jmri after train 2 leaves b1 and it gets allocated to train 1 then train 1 would immediately start up and run and after b4 is allocated to train 2 it would also run. That’s not happening as both dont move. I need software help to find out why? Test 2. When creating train 1 it goes to b6 and continues on and crashes into train 1 still sitting in b1. The layout panel accurately show the occupied blocks in red and the allocated blocks in yellow. Need help to know why the automation in jmri is no longer functioning. Tony

Startup Gets Stuck 5 #startup
Recently it became necessary to reinstall Java and JMRI. First, I checked that both programs were uninstalled. I then installed Java Version 8 Update 441 and JMRI Version 4.26+R381. Both were problem free installs. I then tried to start JMRI so I could load my roster. The Java icon and the DecoderPro icon appeared in the taskbar and the small JMRI splash screen appeared in the middle of my screen. That's as far as the startup got. I've listed my equipment below. What am I missing? I'd appreciate any help in getting started. -- Richard Richter Dell Lattude 3190 2-in-1 Laptop Computer Microsoft Windows 11 Pro RR-CirKits LocoBuffer-NG Rev-a Digitrax ZephyrXtra DCS 51 Command Station

Paragon4 (400a) Decoder Programming issues 5
I am trying to program an BLI engine I had upgraded to Paragon4. Sometime I program a section and it work fine and sometime I get 308 errors. Also I program one section and another section changes. Also the smoke unit works when F7 off and goes off when F7 on. I going to reload the DCC+ software but I do not believe that will help since I tried other locomotive and everything works. Any suggestions. Joe

Signal Mast Logic Translation Latency 9 #sml
Over the past few weeks we have started running into a long latency issue between the signal mast logic and the turnouts that controls each LED. We are using a Digitrax system with a CMRI network for Signals and Turnouts. Our network consists of about 17 CPNODES at the moment with a few more later to come. We have just over 100 Signal Masts with about 75%~80% of them in working order. In recent weeks as we continue to expand our CMRI network I started noticing an issue where the nodes are polling correctly with zero errors but signal aspects change slower than usual. With times where the change is so long the signals just give impossible aspects at times. Now the interesting part is our turnouts are on the same network as the signals and have no issues even while the issue is present on the signals. Directly changing the outputs using the turnouts table works just fine for changing the individual outputs, but changing the signal aspect from the mast table will choke up and take anywhere from seconds to several minutes to change. The issue seems to be most prevalent on startup, and waiting 5-10 minutes before running will get the choke out, but if the system is under heavier load such as 5+ trains usually it will start to choke up again. I am convinced it does not have to do with the CMRI network as I get the same result running the layout in simulation at home on a very powerful computer. Any help on this issue would be much appreciated Thanks, - Hunter Shelby

Virtual Signal Masts for End-Blocks 4
Running JMRI 5.11 and have created a number of Signal Masts, each using DCC Signal Heads (I use NCE Light-Its). I am wondering if I have setup something wrong, or if someone can some provide some guidance on the following situation. I have a turnout which either continues the mainline, or if thrown diverges to an end track. I setup two rules for my signal mast (Signal-A). The first from Signal-A to Signal-B (both on the mainline) and based on the turnout being set to Closed. For the second rule, it is Signal-A to Virtual-A where the turnout is Thrown. Virtual-A is defined as a Virtual Signal Mast as it is at the end of a track line. However, Signal-A is always at a Stop state because Virtual-A is never set to a state unless I manually set it to Clear. When I do this, and if the Turnout is Thrown, then Signal-A correctly changes to Clear. But otherwise Signal-A is not in the correct state because it is linked to Virtual-A and Virtual- is unset. Am I using the Virtual Signal in the right way for these situations where the track ends?

Difference Between Compare and Reset 34 #decoderpro
All, Recently developed a problem with one of my older diesels, an N scale Bachmann with Econami factory installled. Def used is ECO-100 Diesel. Sound was fine, loco would not move. On the programming track, I loaded the loco's DecoderPro roster entry file and used the CVs tab to compare all values. No differences. Loco still not moving. Did a Reset. Loco now moves. Rewrote all CVs from the loco's roster entry file. Loco now will again not move. To emphasize, these settings have worked fine for years. Are there some settings somewhere that DecoderPro can not see or change, except by reset? Regards

Arrival Track & Switcher 4 #operationspro
Set up my class yard Arrival track as a "Location". It's length accommodates the longest trains I run. Set up Switcher (train) to PU at Location "Arrival" and SO at yard Location. When I tested, had a 30 car train arrive. The manifest showed all 30 cars set out at Arrival. Ran train "Switcher". It only picked up 22 of the 30 cars. Viewing the build report 8 cars were excluded as class track for those 8 cars was full. What puzzles me is that those 8 cars were not shown as "hold" on the csvmanifest. Any ideas? Doug

Chaining transits with a different locomotive 27 #dispatcher
Hi, Still continuing to test chaining of transits. It look like if you chain a new tansit using "load traininfo” but with a different locomotive, dispatcher doesn't use the new locomotive but continue to run the new transit with the previous locomotive. Any idea? JeanLouisDelestre@...

Help With crossover 3
Hi Members Could someone please help me out with A Single crossover and JMRi First things first. Please take a look at this photo of the Crossover I presumed that one turnout has one Block so A Crossover just needs 2. Is that correct? Each end of the 4 crossover ends i have isolated,Power is feed to the small joins attached to the(each side) crossover(2) to make 2 blocks with sensors Is that correct? My problem comes when i choose single LH Crossover in JMRI then when i go to set masts it ask for 4 Blocks,but i only have 2 Can someone explain the Four please? Appreciate your time regards Brett PS.DCC Kato Crossover.

DecoderPro no loco roster 6 #roster
I don't know were to begin with my question. But here goes. I have been using decoder pro and operations pro for five years with great results. I do the normal up dates when needed and have never had an issue. Today I started decoder pro and my loco roster did not come up. The program went to starting a new roster page. My roster list is still in my operations pro window. What could I have done to have eliminate decoder pro loco roster? Any help would be appreciated. It is not the end of the world but it sure would be nice to know what I did to keep from ever doing it again. -- Mike Swederska Meramec Valley Lines Modeling Mopac equipment in 3/16

Train creeps into turnout collision 8
I'm still learning Dispatcher/Transits but have my three loops working independently. Next I tried adding a second train that has to share a turnout as shown below. Each train/transit works fine as long as they're the only train running. If I set a turnout opposite desired state is is set properly on allocation. But this fails if I run two trains coming into the turnout as above and sharing a section of track before one diverges again. Specifically I had train 4 running a transit loop and started a new transit for train 5. Train 4 had a "HELD" red because train 5 allocated the turnout. However, train 4 creeped up and collided with 5. I don't have much stopping distance because the detection is between two ghost turnouts. Train 4 had slowed way down at the yellow and came to a stop then creeped forward to collide.

Have a question about having a train pick up a specific car 3 #operationspro
Evening, I am creating a set of passenger trains (A westbound and an eastbound counterpart). I want it to leave its departure station and then at another station while making a scheduled passenger stop. I would also like to have the train set out an express car and then pick up a diner to add to the train. before departing on its way west. Then on the eastbound trip at this same station stop have the train set out the diner and pick up any head express cars. Then after this work is completed, the train would continue Eastbound to it's destination terminal. I would like to have this do this each time I run the train. Thank you

Need help: computer connection to LocoNet freezes 7
I’ve been using a script I copied and modified from script examples a couple of decades ago (attached) which “for turnouts in turnouts.getNamedBeanSet() :” sets all but a few of my turnouts to CLOSED. I have a very large basement size layout. An iMac is connected via a LocoBuffer-NG to a Digitrax DCS 240+ which controls 4 DB150 and DB100 boosters. I have confirmed all are working correctly. Recently, this script is causing the connection between my computer and the layout to freeze, for example, I can no longer turn the layout on or off from the computer. Looking at the LocoNet Monitor (attached) I can see some turnouts being set to CLOSED but then the connections begin to fail. As the system keeps trying to set new turnouts and re-trying to set previously failed connections, it stops. This problem has been getting worse over many months, so I can no longer says what I did that might have caused it. And it has taken me several months to narrow down the symptoms this far and figure out how to recover the connection. To recover, I have to quit PanelPro, disconnect the LocoBuffer USB from the computer, reconnect it, and restart PanelPro. My railroads XML file looks OK. All the turnouts that failed to set are included in the XML file and are in the PanelPro turnout table. I don’t know how to access “NamedBeanSet()” to further troubleshoot the problem. Something has probably become disconnected but I can’t find the problem. Any help you can give would be appreciated. Thanks, Nick Brownsberger
