/* This is an automation example file. * The presence of a file calle "myAutomation.h" brings EX-RAIL code into * the command station. * The auotomation may have multiple concurrent tasks. * A task may * - Act as a ROUTE setup macro for a user to drive over * - drive a loco through an AUTOMATION * - automate some cosmetic part of the layout without any loco. * * At startup, a single task is created to execute the first * instruction after ROUTES. * This task may simply follow a route, or may SCHEDULE * further tasks (thats is.. send a loco out along a route). * * Where the loco id is not known at compile time, a new task * can be creatd with the command: * * * A ROUTE, AUTOMATION or SEQUENCE are internally identical in ExRail terms * but are just represented differently to a Withrottle user: * ROUTE(n) - as Route_n .. to setup a route through a layout * AUTOMATION(n) as Auto_n .. to send the current loco off along an automated journey * SEQUENCE(n) is not visible to Withrottle. * */ ROUTES // myAutomation must start with the ROUTES instruction // This is the default starting route, AKA ROUTE(0) SETLOCO(3) // set current loco id...
