There is a bug on the current JMRI release affecting the Elite throttles. There is a fix going through the works which should be in a release shortly. Consult the "JMRI Users" group on Yahoo for full details, and access to the fix if it causes problems. Or install one of the older versions, such as 2.4 or perhaps 2.5.3

Programming on the Elite is very slow due to the way it implements the Xpressnet protocols (though not as bad as it was before I got involved in fixing things).

The new version ofJMRI still has bugs in Elite throttle control, so as suggested I managed to download the 2.4 version & all working now.
it's a great thing, now the funtions can be accessed easily without multiple button pushing, all good fun.

2.4 will work fine on the throttle (and turnout control aspects), but lacks the improvements to programming track behaviour, so setting up CV's with JMRI connected to the Elite will be painfully slow. The last 2.5 version (2.5.7 ?) might be your best option having both working throttles and improved programming features.

If you setup your locos in the "roster", you can label all the function keys on the throttle for each loco, rather than having to remember that Fn1= cab light except when its horn, except when its ditch light, etc...

I expect a future release will have the Elite working again; I understand a bit of code was dropped by mistake rather than anything else more complicated.
