Re: [Jmri-developers] Who's good at debugging SignalMast issues??

[Ken C. <kca...@st...>]

Ok, here is what I've found:

Using the AAR-1946 signal masts, he defined a double head dwarf. The one head has yellow and dark as it's defined appearances (it's only a simple yellow led). The lower head has red and dark as its appearances (just a red led). So when combined into a mast, the mast thinks there should be more possible aspects than those allow. So it has errors.

What he wanted was it could show yellow, red or dark. I think it should be a single head, using double output signal head, using the red and yellow. Now if he then uses that in the 'single head dwarf signal' he'd be close. But he'd still have the issue of the signal not being able to show a 'slow clear'. Now in the old SSL days, you'd just set 'limited speed' and you'd never see green. Or is signal mast logic smart enough to allow you to not define all the aspects the mast might have, but you decide you never want??

Which is the best tutorial now for the signal mast usage?? I'm still not sure of the way the logic work yet.
