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/

Losing occupancy when trying to record a warrant
4
When I try to record a warrant I get a message saying that the occupancy is lost when I cross into the next block and the recording stops. I have a Digitrax system with BXP88s detecting occupancy. I believe the BXP88s are working correctly because when I observe the control panel the occupancy changes as it should between blocks. I have the global debounce set at 4000 ms to inactive to try to conquer this problem but still no luck. NX warrants work perfectly. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you, Bob

I am assuming that the LogixNG are triggering because of the way I have them setup, so the longer question is what do I need to do to change the programming of LogxNG so that they do not execute when I startup JMRI. Here is an example of one of the LogixNG that runs, that I would like to not run on startup. Thanks in advance -- Heath @ Human[c]ity http://www.humancity.org http://www.riversidetransfer.nyc http://www.manhattanmodelers.com

Can a single DCC-EX CSB1 run trains AND control turnouts?
4
Can a single CSB1 run trains and control turnouts? I would like to power the turnouts from the motor shield My guess is to designate the turnouts in the arduino myautomation.h file. i am new to DCC, so any help would be great ~gary

Conditionals

I have several logixes related to the same turnout. I was wondering if there is a way to combine them easily into one new logix (other than retyping them). Ulrich
|

I am trying to set up NX routing, but some turnouts have only one direction shown for the sensor, often the wrong one. This could be because I'm new to JMRI and have tried and failed several times, and this seems to leave junk (sensors) in the xml file. What in the xml file gives the direction for a sensor ? Is there any way to list what route will be selected between sensors. Mike Johnson

I'm trying to get asymetric brake control (ABC) working and for cases where I have coaches with lighting wiring I have to switch the ABC circuit based on a sensor. Tis works, but is very unreliable and it appears to be because JMRI can take a significant time to process the event. In this case the first event shown is the sensor detecting the train and the last event shown is the relay turning on the ABC circuit to the coaches.

The swtiching is being done by LogixNG which a simple if then else so should not take over 2 seconds, unless it is blocked behind other processing, even that seems slow. Is there anyway to speed up processing and or make the stop actions have a higher priority or run in dedicated threads? Thank you Chris

What¡¯s the optimum blocks in a fiddle/storage yard
2
Can you give me some views on the right number off blocks in a storage yard. I intend to store 2 trains in line in each fiddle/storage yard. So my thinking was three blocks. One near the end about the length of a long loco. Say last 10%. That will detect the first loco and stop near the exit when using dispatcher. the second block being about 40% into the storage line. This would detect a following train and stop it after crossing the boundary. With the remaining entry block covering the first 40% would act to slow the loco. Prior to crossing the next block. on the other hand do I need four blocks. Such as 40%,10%,40% and last 10% or is this a waste?

How do I hook up a bar code reader to JMRI
38
I want to use a barcode reader to identify cars on my layout, but I can't find a way to read the code into JMRI. I've reviewed other bar code topics from this group in the past but none answered my question. One way I've tried is to use a Reporter. I'm using an iMac running macOS Monterey. When I connect the bar code reader to the USB port, I can see it in the Mac system report and in JMRI>PanelPro>Debug> USB devices. However, when I try to create the Reporter using 'others' as the system manufacturer and (Direct Drive (Serial) not available), the USB port does not show in the serial port drop down. I can't get past this problem. Another way I've tried is to use a Memory Variable. I can read the bar code into the value field if my cursor is in that field. But I don't known how to select that field without a cursor. I don't need to identify a port, as the bar code reader just acts like a keyboard, entering a 4-digit number and <enter>. I've never tried manipulating JMRI windows and am not sure how to activate a particular field in one. I'm creating Jython script to accept the bar code using the waitChange command (for the Reporter) and then process it. But as I said I'm stuck trying to get the bar code inside JMRI. The Reporter track is preferred, I think, since I will be using two bar code readers eventually and I can have two reporters attached to two different connection ports. I don't know how I would do this using a Memory Variable. Can someone help me out? Thanks, Nick

I have an Arduino uno with a motor shield attached and loaded with the DCC-EX command station software I have tested this and it detects my loco within the monitor part of the Arduino so I know the loco can be detected and if I issued the command <R 8> directly to the loco the loco judders forward and is detected however when using decoder pro and using the add now loco button I get a message "loco failed to respond" currently I have jmri version 4.26 on my Mac and 5.10 on the other systems due to java limitations on my Mac the track voltage on the main is 12v the loco works on other dcc systems so no problem there (I have a digikeys 5000 on my main layout) I have tried multiple computers running jmri on windows 10 , windows 7 , linux , and Macos all give the same message jmri on all the systems can turn the power to the track on and off on the Arduino but nothing else so any help would be welcome Many thanks Rob

Sorry, I'm back with another question. This works perfectly: The module specified at A2 gets called four times in quick succession and the local variables passed to it are as expected. But, I need to introduce a delay between the four times that the module gets called (because I need to slow down the rate at which the four messages get sent to CBUS). As a first step, I will just add a constant delay and, when that is working, I will make the four delay lengths slightly different, but one step at a time! I read that local variables are handled nicely by Execute Delayed: So, I just did this (the only change is at A2): My expectation was that the module would still be called four times in quick succession, but with a noticeable delay before. But it didn't get that far! I got four of these: And four of these in the System Console: I am probably doing something illogical or even stupid, but I am struggling to see what that message is telling me, or why I am ending up with what appears to be a null local variable. Thanks, Nick

Is there a convenient way (mounting a shield, not individual wiring) to turn a switch with an arduino Mega
2
Is there a convenient way (mounting a shield, not individual wires between boards) to turn a Kato solenoid switch with an arduino Mega? I also need the turnout to be throwable in EX-throttle or Wi-throttle in a JMRI panel. I would like to do it on the CHEAP, so no accessory or stationary decoders ¡ª just a cheap motor shield to turn 2, 4, or even 8 or 16 points. The L293D shield looked so promising at first even though it is unsupported hardware (Hah! I said). is there a cheap stackable solution? there has to be a way (I think?) -- ~gary
