+ | ===== Introduction ===== | ||
+ | Here for beginners it should be explained what a block is, how a block is built with tracks and electronics, | ||
+ | A locomotive can run from block to block. \\ | ||
+ | A block should always be longer than the longest train (locomotive with wagons). \\ | ||
+ | A block should have two sensors for the events ENTER and IN. \\ | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | The block ID is " | ||
+ | A block has a plus side and a minus side to let the software know at what side the loco will enter the block. \\ | ||
+ | The sensors are named " | ||

+ | ===== further details ===== | ||
+ | In this example, the feedback sensors are to be implemented as current sensors. \\ | ||
+ | The length of a feedback sensor should be long enough that the locomotive comes to a complete stop within the feedback sensor (i.e. does **not drive past** the feedback sensor). \\ | ||
+ | Because the block can later be driven in both directions, we install the feedback sensors symmetrically (left and right of the block the feedback areas are of identical length). \\ | ||
