| + | [[userpages|Userpages]] -> **Axel Granel** | ||
| + | |||
| + | English version will probably follow german version - see german version for up-to-date information... | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Introduction ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | My layout is modular gauge O. I use only DCC. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---- | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== actual test equipment ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Command stations | ||
| + | * Intellibox 1 | ||
| + | * Lenz LZV100 | ||
| + | * Roco MultiZentralePRO | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Throttles | ||
| + | * 2 on Intellibox 1 (integrated) | ||
| + | * 1 Multimaus (cable) | ||
| + | * 1 Fremo Fred (cable) | ||
| + | * 3 MultimausPRO (ZigBEE) | ||
| + | * 2 Manhart Funky (DECT) | ||
| + | * 1 iPod (WLAN) | ||
| + | * 1 Android Mobile (WLAN, Samsung Galaxy S3mini) | ||
| + | * optional 3 Roco Maus 1 (cable) (not really vital :-)) | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Accessories | ||
| + | * XnTCP Ethernet-Xpressnet Interface | ||
| + | * Lenz LI-USB USB-Xpressnet-Interface | ||
| + | * RR-Ciruits Locobuffer-USB USB-LoconetInterface | ||
| + | * old PC | ||
| + | * WLAN-Router | ||
| + | * Blücher GBM16XN occupancy detector (with RailCom) | ||
| + | |||
| + | So my "Personal Command Station" is named AGR-1 and is a Rocrail PC (1)! My goal is to connect and //USE// all my equipment. | ||
| + | |||
| + | As of today, everthing IS working, but still not together :-( | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== personal restrictions ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | * I only want to use F0 up to F12 on my mobiles - more Fs on the Locos is wonderful, but I don't want to run them manually - they shound work/sound whenever apropriate automatically initiated by Rocrail! | ||
| + | * I only want to use 28 speed steps | ||
| + | * I don't want to use USB interfaces further | ||
| + | * for Xpressnet I prefer XnTCP (present) over LI-USB (//still// present) or serial RS232 | ||
| + | * for Loconet I prefer GCA101 LocoNet-TCP/IP ([[mgv101-en]], not present yet) over RR-Circuits Locobuffer-USB (present) | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== my function key settings ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Fn, F0 front lights (toggle) | ||
| + | * F1 back lights (toggle) | ||
| + | * F2 decouple (momentary) | ||
| + | * F3 motor sound (toggle) | ||
| + | * F4 whistle (momentary) | ||
| + | * F5 slow motion (toggle) | ||
| + | * F6 interior light (?) (toggle) | ||
| + | * F7 ringing (momentary) | ||
| + | * F8 yet undefined | ||
| + | * F9 Köf 2: sound: "Vorsicht! Weg vom Gleis!" (mometary) | ||
| + | * F10 unused | ||
| + | * F11 unused | ||
| + | * F12 unused | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Locos have more functions - I don't want to use them on my throttles, they should be activated by Rocrail. Later more, when the time comes... | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== test arrangement, first step: Loconet ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Hardware: | ||
| + | * Intellibox 1 | ||
| + | * Interface LocoBuffer-USB | ||
| + | * Manhart Funky connected with Loconet | ||
| + | * Rocrail installation as usual | ||
| + | * track connected to Intellibox | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Funktions: | ||
| + | * with screenthrottle loco control works and F0 to F8 | ||
| + | * changes with screenthrottel is displayed on IB and Funky | ||
| + | * with IB the functions F0 to F8 work (IB restriction) | ||
| + | * changes with IB are transmitted an displayd on screenthrottle an Funky | ||
| + | * with the Funky Loco control an F0 to F12 work to track | ||
| + | * F0 to F8 are transmitted to IB an screenthrottle | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Specialties: | ||
| + | * F4 (momentary): works on Funky as expected - whistles as long as key is pressed! If I press F4 on IB, I can hear only a short whithle - it is switches off again immediately! When pressing F4 on screenthrottle, nothing happes - when releasing F4 is is shortly activated! | ||
| + | * F9 (I can nor choose wheter momentary or toggle in the IB): works on Funky! I can toggle on screenthrottle. Does not work on IB, but is transmitted by IB to the Tracks! Wherever I press F9 it will NOT be transmitted to all other throttles! Rocrail seems to stay uninformed! | ||
| + | |||
| + | Conclusion: | ||
| + | * works pretty well! Regarding Funky: nearly perfect! | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Arrangement, second step: WLAN ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Arrangement, third step: Xpressnet ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Does it work alltogether? ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | No. Not yet. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ===== ===== | ||
| + | (1) What is a "Rocrail PC"? | ||
| + | * Every Computer running the Rocrail Server Software will do. This icludes an OpenWRT Router, a RaspBerry or Arduino. Should be as fast as possible for best Rocrail performance. My current Rocrail PC is a Desktop Pentium 4 2,6GHz with 760MB Ram and Windows XP. | ||
