About JMRI
The Java Model Railroad Interface, or JMRI, project is free and open-source that is aimed at building tools to help the model railroader employ computers to assist in using and running their layouts. We want it to be usable to as many people as possible, so we're building it in Java, which allows it to run on nearly any operating system and a wide range of hardware.
If you are new to DCC in general, the DCCWiki will prove very enlightening!
Details
JMRI is a suite of programs which helps you get along with DCC easier. Briefly, it comprises a number of programs which can be used to program DCC decoders, to run a DCC layout, or to monitor a LocoNet environment.
The JMRI homepage is the 'official' homepage of the project.
- DecoderPro - For programming and managing decoders
- PanelPro - For running a layout
- LocoNet Tools - A set of Digitrax specific LocoNet Tools
- DispatcherPro - A set of tools for creating CTC panels for a dispatcher
- Loconet simulator
