MER Clinic: Running Your Railroad Using JMRI

JMRI (Java Model Railroad Interface) is a suite of programs to program and run a model railroad using a DCC (Digital Command Control) Command Station/Booster, a PC (Personal Computer) and a DCC/PC Interface module. The clinic is targeted at those interested in JMRI and curious about what it can do or those who have tried this package and need a little guidance. We will explore the major options and set up. We will be examining the major pitfalls and solutions. We will also be demonstrating the software with a Digitrax Zephyr, a laptop running Windows XP and a small N-scale layout. The major emphasis of this clinic is Panel Pro which runs a railroad. It is not intended to be a clinic on programming decoders using Decoder Pro although that topic will be covered briefly.
