#Rocrail with jmri code

Now overhere we are in the fortunate position that there is an excellent freeware program called Koploper (which is unfortunately only in Dutch), so many start off with the multimause and then add later Koploper, using the multimouse as their central hardware unit. The combi of Railmaster and the eLink, offered by Hattons for only GPB 77, is of course even better. Also the eLink at GPB 68 is great value for money, about the same price as the (in)famous multimaus, here in Holland for many the first exposure to DCC. On the contrary, I find it very good, and with the current offer at GPB 5 by Hattons extremely low cost, really a bargain. ArLoco scans for trains on your track and reports that to your digital command station or computer via LocoNet®.The background of my question is not so much that I don't like Railmaster. In operation mode Mardec and Arsigdec are ‘listening’ to DCC addresses and will respond as configured. In this mode you can configure all the functions of the connected devices. To make that possible all ArCoMora programs are using two different modes:

To avoid confusion, I use the term ‘programming’ for writing the Arduino code and the term ‘configuring’ for specifying the functions of the connected devices. You don’t need a digital command station or a complex setting of CV’s.Ĭonfiguring is usually mistakenly called programming. You configure ArCoMora with a simple ‘question and answer game’ on your PC. The most important feature of all ArCoMora programs is that they can be configured very easily without any programming knowledge. a reed switch or infra red) and continuous detection (like current detection) Each input can be optimized for pulse detection (e.g. It supports up to 16 input channels for detecting a train. ARLOCOis a feedback encoder based on LocoNet®.The Arsigdec also contains a database with many used signals. So you can use it for almost all light signals in the world. With Arsigdec you can create your own signal aspects. Each signal can have a maximum of 8 lights and 10 aspects with a total maximum of 16 lights per Arduino. It can control up to 8 signals per Arduino. ARSIGDECis a DCC signal decoder for light signals.a reed switch or current detection circuit With an input you can control devices without a DCC signal but with e.g. leds, relais, led strips and coil turnouts.Ī Mardec has a maximum of 16 configurable devices. With Mardec you can control upto 12 servo’s and many accessory’s like e.g.

MARDECis a multifunctional DCC decoder for servo’s and accessory’s.On a digital controlled model railway based on the ArCoMoRa concept the whole automation is done with Arduino Microcontrollers without writing one single line of Arduino-code.Īs protocols ArCoMoRa uses DCC and LocoNet®.Įach Arcomora program has its own specific task. With ArCoMora, it is no longer necessary to write one letter of Arduino code.Īlso you don’t need the Arduino Integrated Development Environment.ĪrCoMoRa stands for Arduino Controlled Model Railway. With these three programs you can automate your whole model railway. To make the Arduino accessible for everyone I ‘ve made three programs for an Arduino. That’s too bad, because you can automate your model railway very cheap with an Arduino. That’s why the Arduino remains the domain of a small group of users with more technical knowledge. You can upload your code via USB to the Arduino.īut programming an Arduino or making small changes to a sketch may be a big problem. That is a kind of dedicated text processor in which you create your code. Writing a sketch is normally done in the ‘Arduino Integrated Development Environment’. Like every computer it needs a program (called ‘sketch’) to do something useful. That includes servo’s, leds (signals/lightning), relays, led strips and turnout coils. With these pins you can control all kinds of electronics around your modelrailway. Each of these pins can be an input as well as an output. It has a lot of external connections (called ‘pins’). However, really applying it, is for most people much too complex.Īn Arduino is actually a microcomputer.
