Hi! guys any news from Yaasan ....?

I am trying to contact him by email with NO LUCK!

Hello Yaasan,
at the moment I have a problem with the mfx and programming events.
I have a s88 contact that in the events programmend and it works fine, but the speed for a mfx loc is not recognized I set in the event speed mfx adress 7 to 0 and declination 1. All other programming before work, but the loc do not declinate the speed. What can I do?

Best regards from the sound uploader

Hallo Yaasan,
if I control it manually it works without any problems. The problem is only if I want control it over the events script. the protocol is set to mm2 and I try in the setup the mfy checkbpxes with on and off with the same result, it dosent work with the event scipt
Best regards
Wolfgang

Hello Yaasan,
I have found the error, it was 2 identical loc adress in the databank. Now I have delete one, and all locs have function, also in the event scripts.
Maybe that will help other usere, if they have the same problem. Look at MM2,DCC and MFX for the same loc adresses.

Best regards
Wolfgang

Thank you for parchasing!
Currently. I’m developing new original hardwares for marklin digital and DCC. However, mfx is not supported.

DSmain R5.1 is my flagship command station. DSshield is very cheap and small command station supported marklin and DCC also. DSshield is instead of Railuino. If someone has Arduino, DSshield is very. suitable solution.

Almost every arduino model railway solution (e.g. DCC++, railstars cmdrarduino) supports only DCC. But DSshield supports DCC and also MM2.

Hi,

MZI NET SHOP sells this kit. Please contact.

ok solved the Problem myself.

Can Bus Shield V2.0 from Seedstudio has CS Pin 9 by Default. Railuino expect Pin 10.

So i Changed in the Defaults.h file in code line 11:

#define MCP2515_CS B,2 -> changed to: #define MCP2515_CS B,1

Maybe this will help others to with this Can Bus Shield.

Hello,

I'm trying to find out if there are people on this forum who use the Railuino library or who would be interested in doing so.

Personally, I've been working with this library for 1 year. It's quite interesting, but it's aged a lot and isn't adapted to new microcontrollers like the ESP32.

So I set about rewriting it for that and it works well now, especially in wifi.

Railuino is missing functions such as MFX discovery. So I set about writing the code for that and introducing it into the original library.

However, I thought it would be a good idea to ask users and potential users about the solutions found so far or the needs that could also be met by this rewrite.

So don't hesitate to give us your feedback on this thread.

Hello Ashok,

I'm always happy to meet people interested in DIY and eager to explore projects related to model railroading.

You mentioned that you're not a coder but would like to revisit Railuino. That’s great because there are several projects that might match your level of knowledge and what you want to achieve.

Railuino is an interesting project, but it is neither simple enough to be implemented by less experienced users nor “low-level” enough for highly specialized applications in train control systems.

For example, if you're looking to control MFX locomotives with a Märklin Gleisbox 60116 and a network management software, I’ve developed a very simple project to implement. It’s a TCP (Ethernet or WiFi) gateway that connects a computer to a Gleisbox that communicates via CAN. This is a good starting point if you want to experiment without diving into coding:

https://www.locoduino.org/spip.php?article361

This project is a simple gateway between a TCP communication (Ethernet or WiFi) from a computer and a Gleisbox communicating via CAN.

In this project, feedback isn’t covered, but if that’s what you’re interested in, I can provide information on the S88 feedback system. This project is accessible even for beginners, and I’d be happy to guide you through its setup.

On the other hand, if you want to take things further, I’m also working on a much more complex MFX control station, in collaboration with a Swiss enthusiast. This project allows for the management of large networks with up to 43 amps of power. However, it requires solid programming skills:

https://forum.3rails.fr/...er-par-la-gleisbox/27563

Railuino requires a graphical interface, either self-built or like Desktop Station, but in my opinion, it is more effectively replaced by software like Rocrail, JMRI (free), or iTrain, Train Controller (paid).

Finally, if you really want to focus on Railuino, I’ve started rewriting parts of the project and have updated several examples for platforms like the ESP32. You can check them out here: https://github.com/BOBILLEChristophe/Railuino

Feel free to let me know exactly what you’d like to achieve. Based on that, I can guide you to the project that best fits your needs and skills.

Best regards,
Christophe

Very smart to engineer that controller 😀 Yasan must be a descendant of an electronics engineer from the 1970s when the golden age of electronics from Japan were the best. I still own a few from Matsushita, Aikai, Sony, Pioneer, and Marantz. Usually always repairable. I wonder if it is possible that you can be design one that can run both mfx, and dcc with railcom for those who own both types of decoders?
