He told me about JMRI and where to download it and is going to show me how to use it with an iPad or iPhone (WiThrottle). I know nothing about DigiTrax but with a DigiTrax Dealer Trainer friend I should be able to sort it out. I just bought/am downloading WiThrottle but have not looked at it yet. I called him today and ended up ordering a DT402D, UR92 and LocoBuffer-USB from him. The guy has since retired from the FAA and is once again a DigiTrax dealer. A year ago I picked up a DigiTrax DCS 200 but didn't know what I would do with it.Īfter watching the DigiTrax DCC layout yesterday I found that the owner was a good friend of a former DigiTrax dealer I was friends with but lost touch with 17 years ago when he went to work for the FAA. I have just started moving from track power to MTS/DCC mainly with LGB locos with factory decoders. I don't think my iPads have it but I don't know why not? ![]() ![]() Is anyone using JMRI? If so, what do you like about it? If you have used it and did not like it, what did you not like about it?įor that matter what the heck is Java? I know my computers have it but I don't know why. It is free and apparently works with some DigiTrax stuff I just ordered so I am going to try it. OperationsPro™ lets you create manifests that route cars across your railroad from shipper to receiver, and provide train crews with operating instructions. Going beyond the basics, you can use Logix to automate your layout's behavior, interface with X10 and Insteon systems to control your layout room's lights and write scripts to extend the capabilities of the system. You can build control panels, set up signaling, configure operations and control your layout using PanelPro. You can manage your locomotive rosters and easily program your decoders using DecoderPro®. JMRI is intended as a jumping-off point for hobbyists who want to control their layouts with a computer without having to create an entire system from scratch. We want it to be usable to as many people as possible, so we're building it in Java to run anywhere, and we're trying to make it independent of specific hardware systems. The JMRI project is building tools for model railroad computer control. Sure, you can't see every detail on the roster page but if you open an entry you can see absolutely everything both in user-friendly form and, if you wish, by individual CV value.I am just discovering JMRI (Java Model Railroad Interface). The internal list/table (roster) is more than sufficient for me. My personal view is that using a spreadsheet is unnecessary. Will keep experimenting though - it looks like a great program. It's just a shame the main Roster screen can't show me a few more values rather than the pre-selected 11, most of which I don't need to see. Then again, perhaps this is just a change from using Excel to manually record CV loco names, CV values and such to using Decoder Pro as the dedicated program to check what locos have what CVs and such. I wonder if this was the export and I could then see the CV number and it's value. I did an export of something last night but it seemed to be just a list of numbers (I have Excel but used a program called EditPlus3 to open it). ![]() Reading the online manual is somewhat easier at work with a square monitor rather than my home widescreen one!
