![]() If you haven't tried any of these programs out yourself, I encourage you to. Once I get some time to really sit down and figure this out I'll try to write a review. I haven't spent much time trying to figure out my block sensors yet, and that scares me a little, because I have no idea how to begin. The addressing terminology seems a bit odd to me. The English documentation is thin, so it's a little trial and error. I also like that the mobile client (iRoc) is able to display and control panels. The panels are layed out on a grid and it is easier to move objects around after you've placed them. Object properties are settable via property dialog boxes. I've only scratched the surface of RocRail, but so far I like it better than JMRI because it is packaged into one development environment. Now when I open iRoc on my iPad, it is connected to RocRail. ![]() Hooking up the iPad was a simple as installing iRoc (by the way there is also an andRoc client for Android OS), providing my computer IP address and RocRail Port (62842). <- If all of this client/server talk sounds scary (it does to me), don't worry it's just terminology of what's going on in the background, in reality, RocRail sets it up mostly, I only needed to supply my computer IP address and the COM Port settings for my Digitrax PR3. I'm running one client on the PC and one on the iPad. RocRail runs as a server and multiple clients (I think 10) can hook up to that service. I'm using RocRail on a PC with Windows XP. It is available in many languages and can run on PC, Mac and Linux. It is in miscellaneous category and is available to all software users as a free download.RocRail is open source model railroad software similar to JMRI or Model Railroad Automation. ![]() Rocrail is licensed as freeware for PC or laptop with Windows 32 bit and 64 bit operating system. This program is an efficient model railroad control system and addresses specialized users. It gives the user the freedom to configure and control the movement of locomotives using modular designs, R2Rnet network for creating routes for roaming trains and activate various command stations. The server which uses multiple controllers allows the client to connect over the network and create layouts. The web-based interface allows the user to create layouts from any computer in the home network or other locations on the internet. The server and client versions can be on different workstations in the same network. The program uses a server-client protocol to perform its tasks. It allows trains to be controlled in a completely manual manner, or in a fully automated way, or by a mix of the two previously described modes. This application provides the users with extensive tools for creating manual and automatic models, controlling trains via blocks, route, schedules and other complex patterns. These programs have been deployed in the building industry, engineering structures and now with this tool, it is possible to develop train model layout on more and more computers. Modeling applications provide professionals with a way of creating digital representations of their designs before developing them in real life. ![]()
