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.

DCC-EX Voltage/current meter 21 #dcc-ex
I have my windows 10 laptop running JMRI v5.6 with DCC-EX running on an Arduino uno, connected to my laptop via USB, paired with the DCC-EX MotorShield8874. When I open the ¡®voltage / current meter¡¯ in Panel Pro, all I get is hyphens - no actual current reading in digits. I¡¯ve had the current meter working before, on an older version of JMRI, running a standard motor shield with the Arduino, but I¡¯ve not tested the current meter since I fitted the new 8874 motor shield. I wanted to check there isn¡¯t anything I¡¯ve missed or failed to configure specifically in JMRI for this before looking into the hardware. Many thanks, Dan

Ad Hoc Changing Block Alternate Colour - Means of Showing Cab Allocation with DC Cab Control 18
My layout is DC cab control, servo points, neither occupation sensors nor signals. Windows JMRI + MERG CBUS. Panel editor panel. NX routing to set and show points, routes and block cab allocation. Early days, layout under construction, JMRI being understood. On a simple simulated test panel I've been able to set and show points, routes and allocated blocks with NX. I would like also to use this process to allocate and show the (one of five) route control cab. It looks like LogixNG (user level currently novice!) might do this. I might click a one-of-five cab select sensor button group before setting an NX route. This selection is then available during the NX setting process. Is there a way to vary the block alternate colour used to indicate an allocated block during this process, please? It's nagging at me that I've seen a forum query on exactly this subject but despite quite deep digging and repeated searching I can't find it (or indeed anything). I suspect there is a rune to cast that will unlock my current very limited understanding!

Help menu 3
I was wondering if it would be possible to add a help menu to each tab of Decoder Pro explaining what everything on that page does and how it interacts. I've been using JMRI for 5 years now and still finding out things only when other users mention it. I've used other s/w for programming other non model railroading products (PBX systems) that have a help button on each page that explains each entry. If already exists, please let me know where to find it. -- Dino Peris Cuyahoga & Lake Erie RR NMRA Div 4

LogixNG table editor and CSV question 38 #logixng
Following this JMRI tutorial I try to make up and import as a LogixNG table this Excell .csv file. Simply 8 sensors (C2S0B1 ... C2S0B8) and three lamps (C2L0B001 .. C2L0B003). Excel view: And LogxNG view of the imported csv file: What is wrong with my import? I cannot seem to use it anywhere as described in the JMRI tutorial (https://www.jmri.org/help/en/package/jmri/jmrit/logixng/LogixNGTableTableEditor.shtml)... ? Wrong csv table? Wrong way of importing? The csv file as used is attached below. Thanks for any help or pointers! Erik

DecoderPro Pet Peeves 3
I've been a DecoderPro user for many years. It's made working with CV so much easier. Add to that I also thankfully make use of PanelPro, WiThrottle, Engine Driver and Speed Profiling. I am super grateful for all the people who volunteer their time to make JMRI a reality. I do have a few pet peeves, though. I share them not to complain, but to see if maybe I am missing something that would eliminate them. 1. Takes forever to load a locomotive profile window. I've installed JMRI on a number of different computers over the years and in all cases opening a locomotive profile window can take over 2 minutes. The time is also inconsistent, sometimes faster and sometimes slower. 2. Whenever a locomotive profile window is opened, any trains running on Engine Driver are set to emergency stop. 3. On the loco roster list, there is not a column for consist address. I use DecoderPro to consist all my trains using advanced consisting. Would be super useful to have a consist address column when I make changes to my trains consists. 4. Lastly, on the speed profiler, which I love, I have to re-enter the start sensor, block sensor and finish sensor. It remembers the block length, not sure why it does not remember the sensors. I love JMRI. Thank you again to all those who worked on making it possible. I hope no one is offended by me sharing these minor issues. Daryl Kruse UPRR Evanston Sub

NCE ProCab- Light-it as signal decoder - Simultaneous commands 55 #nce
Query from a Nimble Newbie, How many commands can one send at a time from an "if-then" Logix statement? E.g. IF sensor 'x' goes 'active' THEN....switch Signal '1' to danger, signal '2' to caution, signal 3 to 'clear', turn on coffee pot, etc... It seems to THEN part of the statement fires odd the commands so quickly that the NCE system misses some of the actions [somewhat randomly]. Not a wiring issue. Is there a way of slowing down, or at least separating out [even by milliseconds] the list of ACTIONS to occur upon a given antecedent? Nimble of Oz

Help with a Script to send SigOps CV settings for NCE Lightit 4 #nce #scripting
Hi all, I use NCE LightIt decoders for signal heads and then have signal masts setup using the signal heads. I have about 90 signal heads on the layout (90 NCE LightIts). I have been doing some searching, and attempting using ChatGPT, to configure the CV for the lights. In particular I want to set the values of CVs 140, 141 and 142 for each of the lights to change the brightness. On my NCE system, I can do this by entering Sig Ops Programming on the Main (Esc+0) and I can enter the signal address, CV number and Value. This however is tedious for 90+ lights and I figured this would be a good way to start to understand Scripting in JMRI. But I am struggling to get access to the right programmer in the script. Any JMRI script experts out there who might be able to show me the best way to get a programmer object that works as SigOps on the main and then to write a CV value to a given address? Thanks Trevor

Trains list and Schedules disappeared 2 #operationspro
Hi, I've been using JMRI for 7 years or so and am still on v. 4.26. I use Operations Pro for all train movements. I had 20 trains listed on the Trains list and schedules. Today, I started up JMRI and all my trains were gone as were the schedules. All routes are still there and showing as Orphans. Cars list, locomotive list, locations are also there. Not sure what would have caused this. Any ideas on how to get back Trains and schedules without rebuilding? Thanks, Fran

Simple way to move any loco between two points (automated)? 10
I'm looking for a simple way to move any loco from the staging track (siding/yard) to the block where the warrant will start. Conceptually the solution would: Use a loco/consist address supplied (e.g. from a memory variable) Drive the train until a sensor (block occupancy) is triggered. Assume a clear path has been established (user responsibility) Thanks. -- H.O.

Transit update issue #dispatcher
I've discovered an issue when updating or changing a transit. When the transit actions are changed and updated, the change doesn't take hold until closing down and rebooting JMRI. I discovered this after many hours of assuming "I" was doing something incorrect. I changed the actions of a transit, updated the transit and tried it. Nothing happened. I terminated the train and created it again, and again nothing happens. BUT, when I close JMRI down and reload it, my transit, with the adjusted actions works just fine. Not knowing what happens behind the scenes when the update button is used, I'm assuming the adjusted, modified actions in the transit are not being written correctly someplace. Using JMRI 5.11.5 Java 21.0.7 Windows 11 The program is super and we love it for automatic train advancing in the hidden staging the layout has. Thank you for giving us this great tool to use for the hidden staging. later Inspector Dave
