Train utilities(DCC/NCE/LocoNet/LCC)

Cab bus / Loconet / LCC utilities

Directories here:

CabBusCommunications - Talks to the CAB bus. Handles the protocol conversions. All in C code. LocoNetCommunications - Talks to LocoNet. Handles all the protocol conversions that need to happen. CabBusToLoconet.X - MPLABX project for PIC32. Uses both CabBusCommunications and LocoNetCommunications to talk to both sides. CabBusToLoconetComputer - A Linux/Unix program which uses both CabBusCommunications and LocoNetCommunications to do the conversions. Protocol - folder which contains protocol information for both LocoNet and the CabBus LCC - Contains LCC related code LoconetTCPUtil - Utilities related to using Loconet over TCP GUI - Train GUI that lets you do things

Notes:

• If you are using CabBusToLoconetComputer, make sure to set your latency timer to 1 for the USB to serial connection! It won't work well otherwise: echo 1 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-3/1-3:1.0/ttyUSB0/latency_timer

You can also make a udev rule like this:

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb-serial", DRIVER=="ftdi_sio", ATTRS{serial}=="FTU7E2W0", ATTR{latency_timer}="1"

Change the serial that you are looking for to be the serial number of your FTDI cable.

Building

Not all dependencies are available thru apt for debian/ubuntu based systems. Support for APT is TBD.

Configuration files for vcpkg are available, you can try those.
