BiDi addressing problem

[Buddace]

I have problem with addressing DIY BiDi detector in rocrail using OPC_MULTI_SENSE.
Detection in rocrail sensor work fine with sensor address 1 to 4...but don't work with address 263 (I don't tested other value a this time). Address 263 in rocrail is located like address 1. To debug I sniffed with Lonotet Sniffer and it look right address 263.
I attached plan with rocrail.ini and trace.

only provide the trace file with the multi sense packet.
Better: Show your program snippet how you set the address in the packet.

Code: Select all

20180530.001407.763 r9999c lnreader OLocoNet 0719 BDL[1] RX[7] zone [D] reports [present] of decoder address [652] direction [-]
20180530.001407.764 r9999a lnreader OModel   4950 trying to match sensor event: [LNPC] 0:7 uidname=[] state=1 code=652

Not 263 but 652...

The OPC_MULTI_SENSE is a classic LocoNet packet and is used for many decoders like BDL, Lissy, DR5088RC, ...
The addressing in Rocrail is correct.

652 is detected Locomotive Address

OK, the BDL section number is 7:

Code: Select all

20180530.081802.480 r9999c lnreader OLocoNet 0719 BDL[1] RX[7] zone [D] reports [present] of decoder address [652] direction [-]
20180530.081802.481 r9999a lnreader OModel   4950 trying to match sensor event: [LNPC] 0:7 uidname=[] state=1 code=652
20180530.081802.482 r9999a lnreader OFBack   0725 fb[S1N_1] state=ON code=652 dir=fwd val=0 count=1 regval=0
20180530.081802.483 r9999a lnreader OFBack   0774 fb [S1N_1](ON) code=652 val=0 count=1 absent=0 call listener 0x01000DEC...

The monitor log does not show the binary packet.
You did not answer all my questions.

I'm sorry but in Loconet log:

08:18:02.486: [D0 22 06 05 0C 02] Transponder address 652 present at LR263 () (BDL16x Board ID 17 RX4 zone D).

and rocrail trace:

20180530.081802.480 r9999c lnreader OLocoNet 0719 BDL[1] RX[7] zone [D] reports [present] of decoder address [652] direction [-]

For same packet rocrail tell BDL1 and Loconet sniffer 263 (right). Rocrail switch on feedback with address 1

The monitor log does not show the binary packet.

Do you talk about loconet data : [D0 22 06 05 0C 02] ?
Thanks

Zone and section is in your packet 0x06: BDL 1 sensor address = 6+1(Rocrail + 1 offset) = 7.
7 is also used for looking up a fitting sensor.

OPC_MULTI_SENSE is not documented in the LNPE...

Code: Select all

static void __handleTransponding(iOLocoNet loconet, byte* msg) {
  iOLocoNetData data = Data(loconet);

  int type         = msg[1] & OPC_MULTI_SENSE_MSG;
  int dyntype      = msg[1] & MULTI_SENSE_DYN_ITEMMASK;
  int addr         = msg[2] + ((msg[1] & 0x01) ? 0x80:0x00);

OPC_MULTI_SENSE is not documented in the LNPE..]

I used JMRI and LoconetOverTcp to decode (both software show expected address)

Code: Select all

//;<OxD0>,<ARG1>,<ARG2>,<ARG3>,<ARG4>,<CKSUM> 
//;<OPC>=0xD0
//;<ARG1>=0x20 // MSG field: transponder seen 
//;<ARG1>=0x00 // MSG field: transponder lost
//;<ARG1>=0x60 // MSG field: Power message
//;<ARG1>=<0,T1,T0,0- A10,A9,A8,A7>
//;<ARG2>=<0,A6,A5,A4- A3,A2,A1,A0>
//;<ARG3>=ADR
//;<ARG4>=ADR2

[D0 22 06 05 0C 02]

<ARG0>=D0
<ARG1>=22 Transponder seen (0x20), Detector AddressHi =2 (0x02)
<ARG2>=06 Detector AddressLow =6 (0x06)
Detector address (2^8)+(2^2)+(2^1)=262 +1 (offeset)= 263
You don't use low nibble of ARG1, right ? May be useful to use
My code:

Code: Select all

//*****************************************************************************
//*send_multisense_data                                                      			  *
//*****************************************************************************
BYTE send_multisense_data(BYTE railcom_adrh,BYTE railcom_adrl,BYTE track_sts,BYTE zone){

adrh=DEVICE_ADDRESS_HIGH;
if(adrl&0x80){
	adrl=adrl&0x7F;
	adrh=(adrh+1)&0x0F;
}
multisense_buffer[0]=OPC_MULTI_SENSE;
multisense_buffer[1]=adrh|((track_sts<<5)&0x60);
multisense_buffer[2]=adrl;
multisense_buffer[3]=((railcom_adrh<<1)|(railcom_adrl>>7)&0x01)&0x7F;
multisense_buffer[4]=railcom_adrl&0x7F;

[rjversluis]

just ask Digitrax for an official documentation of its multi sense, it has been extended by Digikeijs for RailCom DR5088rc:

Code: Select all

#define OPC_MULTI_SENSE_MSG     0x60 // byte 1
#define OPC_MULTI_SENSE_PRESENT 0x20 // MSG field: transponder seen
#define OPC_MULTI_SENSE_ABSENT  0x00 // MSG field: transponder lost
#define OPC_MULTI_SENSE_POWER   0x60 // MSG field: Power message
#define OPC_MULTI_SENSE_DYN     0x40 // MSG field: RailCom dyn
#define MULTI_SENSE_RAILCOM_DYN 0x40

#define MULTI_SENSE_DYN_ITEMMASK 0x1E
#define MULTI_SENSE_DYN_SPEED    0x00
#define MULTI_SENSE_DYN_FLAGS    0x0A
#define MULTI_SENSE_DYN_INPUT    0x0C
#define MULTI_SENSE_DYN_QOS      0x0E
#define MULTI_SENSE_DYN_QTY_BASE 0x10

As far as I am correctly informed only bit zero of byte 1 is used for address high.
MULTI_SENSE_DYN_QOS uses all other bits.
IMHO LocoNet is not RailCom ready. (sucks)

[rjversluis]

OK, I found the problem; git pull and test.

Can you explain please

[rjversluis]

check revision 13.999+ if its OK.

[Buddace]

check revision 13.999+ if its OK.

I will test tonight.
But question, may be another topic, never consider a method to fill locomotive list in rocrail via railcom (like ecos)?

Another topic, a new thread with LocoNet and RailCom Plus.

[Buddace]

check revision 13.999+ if its OK.

Tested work fine with address 263. Are you using all 4 last significant bits ?

Yes, all 4.
