migrating from RR&C Train Controller 5.5 B1

Dale Grice Member Profile All Messages By This Member #240286 Hello esteemed group, ? I am curious as to the possibility of migrating from RR&C Train Controller 5.5 B1 to JMRI. I have stumbled across messages relating upgrading form old JMRI to the new version and recommendations to start from scratch, aka the big bang. ? Is there an upgrade path? Google search returns verbiage about xml export and import. I have not found a layout and config export in RR&C. ? Thanks, ? Dale Grice ?

So, what is your question ? Upgrading JMRI between releases is usually no problem. There are sometimes issues when someone tries to jump many releases in one hit, without doing all the steps for each upgrade, and then had to untangle and do it properly. But to replace your Traincontroller setup, you're? starting again, and need to first work out if JMRI can do the tasks you want completing. And then start constructing things inside JMRI -?

Getting LCC equipment to interface with Train Controller is convoluted at best, and AFAIK involves converting all messages into LocoNet format. I am not aware of any meaningful TC support for LCC command stations. (existing or future) As of our last conversations a year or so ago, the author of TC had no intention of upgrading TC so that it could support the larger address space used by LCC. (i.e. from 32 bit to 64 bit variables) As a proprietary commercial program, that could change at any moment without notice. I am just commenting based on my own experience.
