Re: Best Command Station to use with Decoder Pro
Digitrax won't as it would wipe out the use of transponding, who would bother with such a clumsy system. Also there is the "Not made here" problem, they did not come up with it.
NCE probably won't as

Let’s say you would like three cassettes that hold 18 cars each (triple your current six).
create three staging tracks each long enough to hold 18 cars. Call

Sorry, but that is garbage.
You cannot get an instance of an object by requesting the object from its class. It has to be done using the object's manager. The JMRI scripting environments includes

Re: Best Command Station to use with Decoder Pro
Tom,
The question is if the ESU command station will work with JMRI. If it
does, then you have something. But I don't recall what level of ESU
command station support has been written for JMRI.

The test still occurs, but the issue is what happens after the test. A related factor is what causes a ConditionNG to execute.

It takes a special circuit to get added to the booster to allow
RailCom to work and then the circuit that would listen for the

Pay that!
I find myself using LogixNG more and more and I did wonder what the overhead was.
What does catch me out occasionally is Execute on Change vs. Always Execute. The conditional doesn't execute

Re: Best Command Station to use with Decoder Pro
Yes, ESU decoders support "ordinary RailCom". The "+" part is additional capabilities.
RailCom+ (mostly automatic decoder registration with command station) is part of the RailCommunity standards

Re: Best Command Station to use with Decoder Pro
Dick, Good point about Railcom and NMRA. As I understand it, Railcom became
an RP in 1997 and didn't become a standard until 2012. Even then, the
standard underwent extensive revision in 2021.

A "bean" is a Java object that has a set of characteristics. In the JMRI, most of the table items, such as turnouts, sensors, etc., are implement as Java beans.
