Locked Re: Racetrack


 

Hi -
I thought it might look like the Speed Page, but doubled. I made a spoof of
it at:
Instructions:
1. load in a preexisting speed table for a loco,
2. start at lowest speed, run the two locos, adhust the speed of the
following until it matches,
3. step to the next speed ....
4. Finally, write the values to the loco

How should we handle updating the Roster entries?

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?
