+ | See the [[public: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Watch this space for when the next course is scheduled, but note that we will **only** run this course in 2023 if we receive sufficient expressions of interest. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | JMRI is free software that you can download to control your model railway. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is part 1 of our JMRI Panel Pro courses, and assumes no previous knowledge of JMRI. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The course will start with arrivals from 4pm on Friday evening and then takes place over the weekend (Saturday and Sunday). | ||
+ | |||
+ | We also have an optional follow-on practical workshop day on Monday 26th July. This will be a practical workshop day for you to apply the knowledge learnt over the weekend. You can work on whatever you wish, with assistance from the tutors, such as working on your own CBUS implementation or revisiting certain course subjects. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Topics covered will include: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Downloading and installing JMRI | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * Managing JMRI profiles - and where JMRI puts your files | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * Where to find help and documentation | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * Using internal sensors for control | ||
+ | * Placing sensor icons on the layout diagram | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * Using other devices, such as Ipads, tablets etc, to access the control panel | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * Block detection and train tracking | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | |||
+ | * These two topics will be covered in detail in the follow-on JMRI courses. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Please note that this course does NOT cover programming locomotive CVs using Decoder Pro. For that, see the Introduction to DCC course. | ||
