How much has the performance of the loco(s) changed since they were first characterized X years ago? Do any two or more locos on a multi-loco train "fight each other" at certain "speed-steps"? Do any two or more locos on a multi-loco train "fight each other"? Is this other downgrade so steep that the train cannot even stop from the current speed? How much of the train is on this side of the peak or low-point of the grade? How much does the train speed up on this other grade? How much does the train slow down on this grade? How fast can the loco(s) run with _this_ train? In long, exactly how fast a loco moves depends on many things, including: Magnus wrote "* Can JMRI calculate the train position based on speed and time to stop the train at a signal using just one occupancy sensor (like RocRail and iTrain does) " Can a sensors that is used for oocupany also be used as the stop sensor for the section that the block belongs to? Should each turnout be placed in a block of its own? What is preferred when installing sensors: * Sections with a with at least two blocks, one short block at the signal, the block sensor is used as stop sensor? * Add optical sensors at desired stopping points and use them as stop sensor? * Can JMRI calculate the train position based on speed and time to stop the train at a signal using just one occupancy sensor (like RocRail and iTrain does) Best regards Magnus Now I want to add sensors with 3 goals in order of priority : 1) Automatic control of signals based on block occupancy and turnout position 2) Automatic stop of trains at red signals, preferably close to the signal 3) Automatic running of trains I have a RailCom enabled block detector that I will use. JMRI is great for decoder programming and setting up signal logic, but some of the other stuff they keep cramming in I have to question.Hi, We are building a new layout and have it hooked up to JMRI for running trains and operating turnouts and signals.
#Test rocrail code#
Code should be indented for readability, not because it uses that to denote procedures and other types of code blocks. Who ever though that was an great idea? I have no idea why anyone would use it. And he's a lawyer - I'm the computer guy.ĪNd I'm sorry, any programming or scripting language that relies on proper indenting is a complete non-starter (jython).

Between visits, he downloaded a trial of RR&Co Silver and had the whole thing working the next time I came over, 4 sets of trolley cars following each other at least one block apart and it ran for hours with no faults. Start setting up the automatic script and section 5 would go occupied along wih section 11 which is where the trolley really was. I could run a trolley manually and monitor the detections and they were all fine. Besides a couple of false starts since it seems nearly impossible to undo a mistake in setting up the track (removed the bad piece, put in a new one, but in the end it acted like the removed part was still there - dang XML for a database.), I was also getting spurious detections constantly. A friend of mine wanted to set up multiple trolleys to run through his oen town, so I tried doing it with JMRI. For automation, I'd give the nod to RR&Co.
