| | | (...) Current status: - seems to be working fine with the second RCX sending sensor changes (using LNP with an user defined address), still testing it though. New features: - delayed stop - waits for all loops to get back to the initial state before (...) (17 years ago, 23-Feb-08, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | How about posting some pictures (or even better a video) of your layout in operation under the control of your program. Your idea looks very interesting. (17 years ago, 23-Feb-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| | | | Thanks for posting the video, it is pretty impressive. Are you using two RCXs in this layout, one controlling the trains with LDCC and the other for sensors? What type of sensors are you using? How about adding some photos showing the hardware (...) (17 years ago, 25-Feb-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

The sensors are connected to the RCX through Mindsensors-multiplexers, they are plain reed switches, as (...) (17 years ago, 26-Feb-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
