Model Train-related Notes Blog -- these are personal notes and musings on the subject of model train control, automation, electronics, or whatever I find interesting. I also have more posts in a blog dedicated to the maintenance of the Randall Museum Model Railroad.

2014-09-07 - JMRI WiThrottle protocol

Category Jmri

This is my own understanding of the JMRI WiThrottle protocol based on reading the JMRI source code and connecting to a local JMRI server. I apologize in advance for the highly condensed notation style. I originally started looking into this to create my own python program; then back in 2014/2015 I used this  to create a Python extension of Scratch running on a Raspberry Pi to control JMRI. It was pointless yet it was absolutely cool and totally worth it. Eventually I used that same information to create my own Cab Engineer: DCC Throttle android app.
