 ====== WiRocS ======
 WiRocS is the name for a very inexpensive way to control your RocRail railway. It is not intended to replace more professional equipment, but it does provide a simple, inexpensive, Wireless, solution for small railways.
 WiRocS is actually 'just' some code that runs on ESP8266 (and ESP32) computers. These are readily available, and have massive capability. A single ESP8266 forms a single "WiRocS" Node and forms part of a standard RocNet Protocol Network.
-Each Node can have 8 fully programmable I/O (input/output/PWM/Servo), see also [[users:dagnall53:esp32differences|ESP32 setup]]. It can produce sounds from an internal sound file system, and can have a OLED display that is RocDisplay Compatible.  See [[users:dagnall53:oled|OLED display information]]

 {{:users:dagnall53:rocnetmqtt1.jpg?400 |}}The WiRocS code expects to work in a network where Rocrail is running and has a "ROCNET controller" using MQTT.(set Sub-Library to "MQTT").
-A MQTT broker, such as Mosquitto must be running somewhere on the on the network. (It can run on either the same PC as Rocrail or a different PC).
+A MQTT broker, such as Mosquitto must be running somewhere on the network. (It can run on either the same PC as Rocrail or a different PC).
 Rocrail needs to know the IP address of this MQTT broker, and this should be set in the Rocrail Rocnet Controller "Address" options with Port set to 1883 if using Mosquitto. (see illustration, where I use 192.168.0.11 for my Broker).

+If you are not using the OLED, you have 8 I/O. Each I/O can be set by Rocrail as an input or output, using the "PI02 Port Setup".
-PROVIDED that the Pin is not being used for an OLED display, Motor drive, Loco Front or Rear Light or other pre-defined function such as Loco Motor PWM drive, each I/O can be set by Rocrail as an input or output, using the "PI02 Port Setup".
 This allows blinking, and inversion.
+If you are using the OLED display,you still have 6 I/O for Motor drive, Loco Front or Rear Light or any other pre-defined functiona such as Loco Motor PWM drive, ESP32 users have a full 16 I/O!
