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.

Cannot start to read decoders 13
Hi, I am running DecoderPro since many years without any Problem. I recently got another Laptop with win11Pro preinstalled - Version 24H2. After installation DecoderPro ask me to get started by checking in with a new Loco placed on the programming track. It comes back with the correct decoder and I store it in the Roster. When I exit and restart DecoderPro I click NEW+ to get a new Loco and decoder recognized, but the field at the bottom left ( Read decoder type) is greyed out. After deinstallation i even deleted all remnants from JMRI and even cleaned the registry as far as I could. I reinstalled - did no new Lokomotive, but tried to import a complete Lokpark/Roster from my second laptop - all 104 locos appeared correctly, but I cannot add a new locomotive/decoder because in the new locomotive Window the button at the bottom left (read decoder Type) is still greyd out. And no - I am not Read only.... I red several JMRI topics, I tried to rebuild the coplete Lokpar/Roster (which did nothing) and so I am stuck. I am working with DR5000/Yamorc YD7001 and Z21, I can work with the Throttle without any Problem, so the connection to my centralStation is ok (over WIFI by the way) I am currently on 5.10.4 Release but tried also the 5.11.4 TestRelease with same result. Can I ask to help me ? Vest regards Erik

How to efficiently manipulate signal mast aspects? 3
Is there an easy way to copy one signal mast's aspect into another signal mast? I have a configuration where there is a crossover that is immediately flanked on both sides by two other turnouts. Here's a clip from the Edit Mode in the layout panel I'm creating: (Please look only at the "bottom" main and, in particular, the route from left to right. The top main is missing a signal from right to left.) In order to have SML do its logic generation, I have signals at every turnout. Every turnout is in its own block (some virtual). The logic works great -- pretty much exactly as I would like it to. The only hitch is that on my railroad, I plan to have signals only at the outside ends of the outer turnouts on the bottom main since it's only a feet as the turnouts are back-to-back. I marked the inner/virtual turnouts as "hide when not in edit mode" so that it would match the actual physical plant. The panel looks as follows (again, missing one signal yet): The only issue I ran into was that I want that leftmost, right-facing two-headed signal on the bottom left to match the next turnout in line (protecting the crossover). The problem is that the virtual signal at the edge of the crossover will automatically show a diverging (clear/approach/advanced approach) when the crossover is thrown but actual physical signal will not as it is a block further away. In other words, the virtual signal at the crossover would show, say, red over green but the actual signal would show green over red. (Another small complication is that the intervening turnout being thrown should result in the physical signal showing a stop, but that is easily handled). So, all of this was pretty straightforward with some LogixNG code except that I found that I was clumsy/overly verbose to get the physical signal to mimic the virtual signal. In particular, I needed to exhaustively enumerate things like "if mast 205 is diverging clear, then set mast 203 to diverging clear, ...etc. Feels like what I should really be doing is just getting the aspect from mast 205 (the virtual one) and setting 203 (the physical one) to that same aspect. Maybe using a local variable or something similar. And, of course, another condition would be needed to check the closed/thrown status of the intervening turnout. To summarize, it is indeed working exactly as I want it to but it feels as thought I didn't do it properly/efficiently. I spent some time looking at the JMRI/LogixNG docs but didn't see anything about moving aspects around. I also saw a note elsewhere on this forum relating to some jython to do signal aspect relaying but I'm first looking to whether there's a way to do it just with the LogixNG infrastructure. I would appreciate any suggestions or pointers anyone might have. Cheers, Vince

jmri 5.10 automation no longer functions 25
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

Using the same car(s) in two trains in the same Op session #operationspro
I want to send a train of loaded coal hoppers from staging to a classification yard. Then, move those cars on a yard local to various industries. I want the yard local to pick up empty coal hoppers at those same industries and bring them back to the classification yard. Finally, send those empty coal hoppers on a third train from the classification yard back to the staging yard. All in the same operating session. I tried it this past week at an operating session by building the first train, printing the manifest, and then moving and terminating the train. Then I built the yard local and repeated the same build/print/move/terminate process. Then I built the third train and printed that manifest. I put the three manifest copies in the stack of manifests used for the session, in the proper sequence. I also printed the switch lists after each build to give to the two yard masters. It's a lot to do and can be confusing to the yard masters. Is their a more elegant way to accomplish all this through Operation Settings, or thr Cars or Locations tables? John P.

Not keeping my industry full. 2 #operationspro
I have an industry that holds 24 tank cars and I want to keep it full during each ops session. I have my planned pick ups on the spur set at 100%, moves along that route set to 48 with random off. I wont be able to swap 24 cars during each session due to max length of train but I would ideally like to roughly pick up 10 and set out another 10 which I have plenty in my yard that are empty. No road restrictions either. What happens on my build is it will have me set out 6 but pick up 12 and it never has me fill that industry again and it stays around 50% full. Am I missing something simple? Thanks, Jason

Triggering sound 3 #rfid #sensors
Hello I would like to know if there is a simple way to trigger a sound when a sensor is triggered to alert the dispatcher? A simple ding would work, although since I’m using rfid a pre recorded message “Engine 160 has arrived at (sensor location) Fire Creek” would be amazing. It’s a small layout with a few engines so prerecording all the combinations would not be that big a job. Thank you

Why are so many sections allocated? 4
I realize most of the JMRI users must have club size layouts but mine is small so maybe dispatcher won't do what I expect but I'm not giving up yet. Could it be something wrong with my mast logic. I used auto-generate for mast and sections. All checks are clear. The turnouts with G are virtual ghost blocks. Others are in the block detection. The magenta squiggles are the section dividers (ghost blocks dividers not shown but these are separate sections). I run train lengths which seem appropriate for the layout. I show my block lengths and train length but you can see how many blocks are allocated although I specified 2. Why are so many sections allocated? Because of the level crossing everything goes to gridlock if I attempt to run more than one train (which is main reason for automation). The value of 5 is the train which is only 19 inches yet there are 387 inches of track allocated? I'm coming to the well more often than I'd like and hopefully one day I will know enough to pay it forward.

Startup Gets Stuck 11 #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?

Have a question about having a train pick up a specific car 5 #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

Load v. Empty 3 #operationspro
I move many open loads: logs, lumber, gravel, vehicles, pipes, precast. I have enough cars to have dedicated loaded and empty of each type and I'd rather not mess with moving the loads between sessions. My problem is that JMRI flips the status of cars automatically when they are delivered. So I end up with loaded cars at the gravel mine, pipe plant, etc. when I want MTY cars there. Is there a way to designate some cars as permanently loaded/MTY? JMRI 4.26, MS Surface, Java 17, NCE -- Dan in NC

Trouble with Digitrax PR4 and DS74 switch controllers 2 #digitrax
I am new to JMRI and I connected up JMRI to my HO Layout. I use Digitrax DS52 , PR4 & DS74s(9) to control my 34 Atlas Turnouts. All turnouts were working fine when controlling them from the DS52 command center, or the DT602 remote control and about one half have the DSXCP1 switch control panels. On JMRI I was able set up my connection, I was able to program my Locomotive Roster OK and program them on a program track. When I started updating my turnout table I was checking the use of controlling the turnouts from JMRI. That's when things got a little crazy. when I opened and closed switches they would usually work OK but at times switches would randomly click open and closed and some times I would have to press them twice to get a response. Other times I would also hear multiple clicks on different turnouts. After a while my PR4 went dead and all of my DS74s froze in the OPS mode (ID&OPS LEDs alternate blinking). I tried everything to reset the DS74s but they were totally unresponsive. I have sent the PR4 and DS74s back to Digitrax for repair. Can anyone give me some ideas on what went wrong. It seems to me that somehow the voltage was too high and burnt out the PR4 or something was out of sync or in conflict with the communications on the the LocoNet.

DecoderPro no loco roster 10 #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

Inline LogixNG add block item different on two systems 6 #logixng
Windows 11 or Linux Mint 21.1 JMRI 5.10 I take my "panel file" home from the museum to work on it locally. I run JMRI on Linux Mint at home. I was working on creating an inline LogixNG whose purpose was to set the value field of a lot of blocks on the layout having been triggered by an icon touch on a Panel Editor panel. That all worked fine at home. I created a few of the add/item/block steps in a conditionalNG. Then I copied the file to a USB drive and ambled down to the museum to complete the task on site. But much to my astonishment and grumpiness the add/item/block window is different at the museum than at home. The rightmost block in that window is missing. This is where one gets to type in the value that is to be applied to the value field of the block. It's the same whether I'm adding a new line or editing an existing one that I had created at home. I don't get it. Why is this different? JMRI version is the same at both locations. George

Chaining transits with a different locomotive 29 #dispatcher
Hi, Still continuing to test chaining of transits.

DecoderPro Opens every time as a new install 16
Team, I really need some help on this issue. I posted on it a couple weeks back and got zero replies. At the museum we have a Dell PC running Windows 10 and Java 11. Currently JMRI version 5.10 is running on the machine. Every time JMRI opens it is a new install running the set-up wizard where we have to choose the Sprogg unit, the com port, etc. It also does not remember that there should be a roster of locomotives. I uninstalled the JMRI software by selecting uninstall in the apps window. I confirmed that all directories are removed from the system. I re-installed JMRI. There is no change in the behavior. Save locos to the Roster, it recognizes them until the next time decoder pro is started and then it opens as a new install with the wizard wanting you to choose Sprogg, com port, etc. Once you do that it comes up with no roster. I'm at my wits end on this one. Can someone offer suggestions or ideas to try. George Ronn
