# CVReader
|
|
Don't be fooled by the name, this chunk of code is an almost complete replacement for DCC++ with the added feature of WiThrottle support WITHOUT a JMRI server.
|
|
|
|
This repo is acting as a prototyping area for features being built into the DCC-EX CommandStation.
|
|
|
|
Unlike DCC++ the code here is more cleanly structured and so is easier to maintain and expand. It runs in less memory than DCC++ and uses less interrupts and timers to achieve a more reliable DCC signal. You will not find a PacketRegister file with a bizarre mix of string parsing, packet building, queue managing, timer fiddling and hardware pins all mashed into one over-complex class.

|
It has an API interface to the DCC commands that can be used by your own bespoke sketch.
|
|
This API is actually used by the JMRI command parser and the WiThrottle command parser.
|
|
The CVReader.ino sketch provides an example of setting this up with Wifi and JMRI command parsing.
|
|
|
|
In addition, program track operations requiring ACK responses do not cause blocking of the Arduino loop() and so will not hold up throttle requests.
|
|
Loco Functions F0-F12 will issue reminders automatically.
|
|
There is a much higher register limit (ie more locos) in the same memory.
|
|
You can also create your own commands or filter out commands sent by JMRI to suit your own layout.
