02/03/09.....Well my first major goal to this project is to
find out how to talk to the DCC controller so that I may
actually be able to control the train from the computer.
I just want to be able to send data to the
track...establish that first contact and then things should
continue from there....Finished Some progress videos; first one of basic train functions and second is turnout controls...
Posted 03/04/09.....Next objective is to get all addresses of the turnouts figured out, and map out the layout of the track in a relatively orthagonal way so that the program can identify all objects on the track and to have the 'map' on the UI have some kind of controls, and to identify exactly where on the track the train is (and status of turnouts). Also starting to think of possibly interfacing a user remote control of some kind to control the train and track like a video game... That sounds more fun!.....Completed for the most part... |
