Hello fellow modelers.
It appears that many of us are either confused with a concept, a feature of jmri, or how to implement a scheme or strategy.? Might I suggest a "how to" depository of solutions, and some training on the concepts of jmri and how to implement them.? One person has difficulty with understanding signals and masts, the concept, and the implementation.? Along with a detail of a implementation.? This would help the rest of us to go to this depository, and study up on a solution.? Otherwise, there is great email activity, and the threads are lost after the solution has been achieved, only for the issue to raise it's head later.? Thank you for your thoughts on this.
An example is one that crossed me up for many weeks.? You have to "open" a turnout xml file before you can see it, and it has to be opened if you expect to see it in the web server.
?By simply asking for the turnout table does not mean that jmri will open it first.
Another big one is the complete solution to go from a sensor, into an arduino, to jmri, to the sensor table, to the turnout table, back out to an arduino, to a pin, to a servo or relay, up to the turnout itself.? This would include electrical, wiring and sketches.
I apologize if this is already in place and I am not aware of it.
