This blog will demonstrate how to setup a single Arduino as CMRI to interface with JMRI, this example connects the Arduino and configures it for CMRI. JMRI is then setup to connect to the Arduino and turns on the Arduino on board led.

This Blog will be going over the initial setup for CMRI using the RS485 connection. This will setup the Arduino with the code to turn on an LED with BIT 0 from JMRI/CMRI and will also show the setup of JMRI connections and wiring between Arduino - RS TTL 485 module and USB to RS485 module.

In this article I will be showing how we can connect more than one Arduino to JMRI PanlePro with the CMRI library. To be able to do this we will need a USB to 485 converter and a RS485 module for each Arduino which can easily be picked up from eBay. Below is the diagram showing how to connect up the Arduinos to the RS485’s.

This part of my blog will show how to setup the Arduino and the SPORG with JMRI. This is intended for the SPROG to control all the trains with DCC chips fitted and the Arduino will control all the accessories.

Welcome to my model steam train blog. This blog will be showing how to set up the DCC++ base station on an Arduino being controlled by a Raspberry Pi running JMRI. This is an open source program kindly provided by Gregg E. Berman.

In this blog I will be setting up a servo to control a turnout on my layout using JMRI as the interface on the computer and the Arduino as CMRI interface.

In this blog I will be setting up a turnout on my layout which will be controlled by an Arduino using JMRI PanelPro.

In this demonstration we will be using the same single servo control code of the arduino and the same turnout table on JMRI as we did in my previous blog for JMRI - CMRI control of turnouts. The difference with this blog is we will be using a USB to RS485 converter on the computer and an arduino RS485 TTL MODUS to do a two wire communication between the PC and the Arduino.

In my blog I will be showing how to control more than one servo for turnouts using an Arduino Mega controlled by CMRI and JMRI.
