possibly my other idea of a small bluetooth add on to any smartphone so you have the touch screen to turn functions on off or select a loco, but an actual knob to run to control the train. The html interface is allowing me to experiment with my idea of a simple universal throttle using an arduino. nearly all equipment is now working fine under rocrail control, switches are working, sensors indicate correctly. between cs2 and pc, some track switches, sensors and trains, rocrail 1.4.999, rev. my sytem: a small gage 1 arrangement, märklin cs2 (60213) with sw 1.3.0, working ethernet com. Hallo, some days agoe, i installed rocrail first time for test purposes (desktop pc, win 7 64). This vid is showing the "ready to run" fiddle yard of plan f.the table is powered by a step motor which is a little bit noisy. * no: resetspfx: bool: reset all loco functions and speed at startup. false no: ptiid: string: iid to use with programming using default in case not set. true no: poweronatinit: bool: turn track power on at server init. plan.xml no: poweroffonexit: bool: turn track power off on server exit. no: analyse: const char: analyse track plan. Node parent node attribute constant vtype remark unit default range required 2.0 concmd (1) *root* commands are listed in column default. 8) otherwise, change the decoder step in rocrail for your recorded loco to 28 and test. 7) try with a loco equipped with a old decoder (mm protocol) and test with rocrail if you have some. I will have some fun with the Rocrail connection … I hope you may have some fun with it too.Modeltog styrevognskørsel med rocrailrocrail test run.
After some trial and error I found that I needed to do two things: It is IMPORTANT to enter the exact same name here (ID) for the loc as it is used on the ECoS, elso it won’t work! Also, in the ‘Interface’ tab we can set the correct address.Īfter I entered these names exactly as spelled on the ECoS … it did not work. When we right click one of the locs in the list of the demo layout, we can enter the ‘Properties’ window. If it does not … well … alas some trouble shooting will be needed then. Now click the top entry that says ‘Power On’ and check if the ECoS track power goes on. Go to the menu ‘Control’ and enable communication (second entry). Here we need to enter our ECoS IP address as well as the default port number, which is 15471. Click it and then click the ‘Properties” button below the list. At the bottom you find a dropdown list with all available controllers. Go to the menu ‘file – Rocrail properties’ and select the tab “Controller”. Now we need to connect to our ECoS first. The Rocrail sever should start and the demo layout should appear. Just suppress that impulse and click the lower right ‘select this folder’ button.
I was a bit confused at the start, I wanted to click one of the subdirectories in the list.
To do that, goto the menu ‘files – workspace’ and find the …\My Documents\Rocrail folder. The server is started once we select a so called ‘workspace’. This is called the Viewer client, it connects to another part of Rocrail, the server. When we click it, an empty Rocrail window opens.
After install we should have a Rocrail icon on our desktop.
Rocrail can be downloaded for free (you can donate) from their website: Install is straightforward.
A video is out on how to connect the ECoS to the control program called Rocrail.
