ROCRAIL WITH JMRI SOFTWARE
ROCRAIL WITH JMRI DOWNLOAD

The Layout is a club layout, and a few members are wanting to 'experiment' with various PC software applications, including, JMRI, ROCRAIL, ITRAIN, RAILROAD AND CO. No, it's not a MERG system, the system is an existing system that is all based on Microchips, with a few Arduino's to do a few back ground interfacing to a PC running a custom designed VB.NET application to carry out the overall monitoring, and 'optional' control (the system can run without the PC if required). Thanks Alan, Thanks for your quick response, it is appreciated.

If you don't know JMRI then see JMRI will run on a Raspberry Pi (there is an OS download that comes with JMRI all set up for an RPi). Why try and connect it to Loconet? What are you trying to achieve? Sounds to me like you would be better connecting both systems to a PC running JMRI. This sounds like you have a MERG CAN system.

We want to try and 'grab' this data, (both inputs and outputs) and get them into a Digitrax DCC control unit (the Command Station is a Digitrax DCS200) that operates on 'LocoNet'. thanks RoyĪshish_Makthal The model railway layout has multiple 12 channel input/output PIC16F1827 PCB's distributed around the layout, these have CAN based hardware interfaces, and all 'communicate' back to a PIC18F27K40 into the upper memory banks, there are probably over 300 'bits' of digital inputs and outputs that are passing between the PIC18F27K40 and the 'dozens' of PIC16F1827 layout PCB modules around the layout via a 'home brew' network. I look forward to any comments / advice offered. So just putting this to the forum to see if there is anybody that may have already done anything similar. I appreciate this may be a big ask, so if i could get the I2C to I2C bit working, I could probably use an ARDUINO Shield to do the I2C to LocoNet part.

Then, from this PIC convert the data's into LocoNet protocol (usually via an RJ12 cable). What I would like to do is 'exchange' the data from this PIC via its I2C to a second PIC18F27K40 again via its I2C interface. the only 'spare' pins on the Input/Output PIC18F27K40 are the I2C pins.

This is all related to Model Railway Controls.
