Detection & feedback
Knowing where trains are: current sensing, block occupancy, RailCom, infrared and Hall-effect sensors.
- How to add infrared and Hall-effect sensors to DCC-EX Wire cheap infrared or Hall-effect sensors to a DCC-EX command station, define them for JMRI or EXRAIL and use them to trigger automation.
- How to add signals that follow train detection with JMRI Draw your layout in JMRI's Layout Editor, link blocks to occupancy sensors and let Signal Mast Logic set signal aspects automatically.
- How to install block occupancy detection on a DCC layout Divide the track into detection sections and feed each through a current-sensing detector, so your system and software know which sections are occupi…
