New problem with engine name

(1/2) > >>

Josephbw:
In all the messing around with my engine files, I managed to lose the name and the ability to connect with one of my engines on one of my HC's. I can connect with my other HC and with the HC simulator.

If I try to "Find Product" I get a "No product found error" on that one HC. I went to the "Locomotive setup page", and tried to input the name of the loco, but that didn't work either, since it couldn't find the loco.

BTW this engine has an LM3s module, if that matters.

Any suggestions?
Joe

On the HC with the problem, the locomotive  is probably still there, which is why it can’t be found. Go to Delete File and see if it comes up. If so, delete it and Find it again. You won’t have to change any of the LM3s settings.

Josephbw:
Thanks for the reply Al. Unfortunately, the engine didn't show up in the delete file. All the rest of them seem to be there, just not that one.

Since you can see and use the loco on other HC's I think we can rule out you accidentally gave it a password.

How did you do this? Do you mean the Select Locomotive page? If you can't access the loco there's no way to access the Locomotive setup page.

The loco is still in the HC, that's why you can't detect it again but it's entry in the internal detected products table has a problem so that's why it's apparently not showing.

Was this the last LM you added to the HC? if not is there a blank space in the loco select screen (either from the locomotives button on the main page or the locomotives button on the remove products page) where it should be? If you use the Loco List feature of the select screen does it's name or a blank line that you can select show there?

If there's no blank space / name or blank line in the loco list then you'll probably have to remove all products from the HC using the Remove All Products button. That should clear everything out of the internal detected products table in the HC. You'll have to re-detect everything again for that HC after doing that.

Josephbw:
Hi Tim,
When I get time this afternoon I'll go down and check and see if I can answer your questions. This LM has been in this engine for years and is the only LM ever in it, as far as I know. Also, it used to be in this HC before all the issues I was having lately.

Thanks, Joe
