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.

Please use "meaningful subject lines" when starting topics. We are getting lots of subject lines that don't give much if any idea of what the topic is about. By providing a meaningful subject line you may get the attention of someone that can provide you assistance with your issue. It also give others the chance to skip the topic if it is not of interest to them. -- Peter Ulvestad JMRI Users Group Moderator - https://www.jmri.org ( http://www.jmri.org ) Tam Valley Group Moderator - https://tamvalleydepot.com/ ( http://tamvalleydepot.com/ ) Sprog-DCC Group Moderator - http://www.sprog-dcc.co.uk/ ( http://www.sprog-dcc.co.uk/ ) Edmonton Model Railroad Association - http://www.emra.club/

Ad Hoc Changing Block Alternate Colour - Means of Showing Cab Allocation with DC Cab Control
14
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!

LogixNG table editor and CSV question
34
#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

Simple way to move any loco between two points (automated)?
8
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.

Cannot change horn, no bell
9
#esu
I am trying to set up an ESU Loksound 5 decoder programmed by my dealer. The prime mover sound works, I can change the master volume ok, the lights work, I can dim the lights ok in the Function Outputs tab, I try to change CV163 (horn) and CV164 (bell) but the horn sound does not change and it sounds like a plastic toy. It does respond to the master volume. Default Sound slots 3 (horn) at 225 and 4 (bell) at 70. Changing these values does nothing. The bell has never made a peep... it is like there are no sound files loaded. (I do not have a Loksound programmer). What am I missing? Thanks for your help, -Paul in Utah Bulletin: EMD 16-567D3 T Manufacturer: ESU, Item number: S0758, Version: V5-R5

Dan, thanks for the expanded information in the trains log. However, I can't figure out how you calculate the "Partial 28/80 cars" numbers. Can you enlighten me? Example: Jon in San Rafael

Error trying to add a panel in

#panelpro
I am hoping someone has a thought on this error. I built a panel for a friends setup. I am trying to load the panel and this is the error I get. It is a simple panel, so I can just rebuild it, but I don¡¯t understand why it¡¯s not importing. What space?? -- Heath @ Human[c]ity http://www.humancity.org http://www.riversidetransfer.nyc http://www.manhattanmodelers.com

DCC-EX Voltage/current meter
10
#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

How to stop auto-train that loses next Signal
#dispatcher
Hi All, sometimes, fortunately very very seldom, an auto-train running under Dispatcher on our Club layout loses next Signal and so it does not stop although that Signal is set to Stop. I mean there is no next Signal in the Dispatcher window in those situations. On one side I am investigating with the help of System Consolle but on the other side, since our goal is safety first, I would like to stop the train when this behaviour happens. Is there a way to use LogixNG or scripts? I am not able to get/drive the decoder address of the running train in the block where it should stop. Thanks for help!

JMRI/Raspberry Pi Touchscreen panels - layout expansion questions
8
Good Afternoon, I currently have a layout running with the following set up: NCE Power Cab Raspberry Pi running JMRI using M Steve Todd's file This is connected to the layout via an NCE USB Adapter The Raspberry Pi runs a touchscreen which I have set up as a control panel and operate turnouts from this - the panel itself effectively is fullscreen on the Raspberry Pi touchscreen. I'm looking at expanding the layout, and realistically it would need a second control panel for the extension - I don't really want to redraw the existing panel and reduce the size of the panel itself as it's currently very user friendly. From reading the various JMRI documents, I'm not entirely sure how to go about this - it is clear that I can only have one Raspberry Pi unit connected in via an NCE USB adapter , but am I correct in saying that if I network a second Pi to the main one, either via the built in wifi or an ethernet cable, this is feasible? From my limited understanding, you can load up two separate panel windows and switch between them ,so am I correct that if this is the case, the original Pi panel can effectively stay as is, with the new Pi Panel running as a networked unit and showing just the additional panel? thanks in advance

Studying LogixNG first steps- Yard Ladder example not working.
5
Example from here. I guess there is some assumed/unmentioned hoop through which this newbie has not jumped :) Downloaded and unpacked the example zip. Opened the contained XML with Panel Pro > load all panels and table. Can see the panel, click a track sensor, sensor changes but no points. Had a look in sensor, turnout and logixNG tables which look something like this novice might expect. Then I tried the logixNG tables table(!) and spotted the described Yard Ladder sensor/turnout table was missing. Loaded the table from the zip-contained CSV. No change - sensors still change on clicking but the points do not follow. What am I missing, please?
