I think a Racetrack module would be great for JRMI. Before I start, has
anyone done this or do any of you have some suggestions?
We've taken a couple steps in that direction. In the most recent download, there's a "Speedometer" tool that Roger Gleason and I have been working on. Given some LocoNet-readable sensors (e.g. block occupancy detector, a button you push or whatever), you specify how far apart they are in scale feet, and then it starts reporting the scale MPH whenever it sees activity.
It seems to work OK, with acceptable accuracy as long as you're timing over a few seconds of travel (e.g. not too short a distance).
It would require a little work to hook that code into the programming part. I'd be happy to help somebody do it, but don't really have the opportunity to spend time on it right now. It will require some thought to figure out what values go where, etc.
If I set up the basics, e.g. an example that would load one CV with a value, perhaps somebody else would be willing to handle the rest of the details?
