JMRI/DecoderPro 2.6.1

JMRI/DecoderPro 2.6.1 is used to programme model railroad DCC decoders with a simpler user interface, grouping together choices and using text instead of bits and bytes. It works with the most common DCC systems: Digitrax, EasyDCC, Lenz, NCE, SPROG, Wangrow and Zimo.

As an open source project, JMRI is evolving in many directions at once. You can get involved at many levels:

• Learn about JMRI (check out the online help, DecoderPro manual, FAQs and clinics )
• Kick the tires ( download JMRI, install it on Windows, MacOS X or Linux, connect it to your layout)
• Share your experiences with others ( join or browse the JMRI_Users Yahoo Group )
• Help extend and develop it it (look under the hood, get the source, join or browse the JMRI-Developers mailing list ).
  

Whatever it is that you choose to do with JMRI, and however you get involved, welcome to our community! 

 Major Features:

1. The JMRI project is building tools for model railroad computer control. It is usable to as many people as possible, and able to run anywhere, independent of specific hardware systems.
2. JMRI is intended as a jumping-off point for hobbyists who want to control their layouts from a computer without having to create an entire system from scratch.
3. You can manage your locomotive rosters and easily program your decoders using DecoderPro. You can build control panels, set up signaling, configure operations and control your layout using PanelPro. Going beyond the basics, you can use Logix to automate your layout's behavior, interface with X10 and Insteon systems to control your layout room's lights and write scripts to extend the capabilities of the system.

Enhancements:

• Routes and Logix are both more powerful and simpler to configure.
• Many improvements to the operations support.
• The hardware support for Digitrax, NCE, Lenz, CTU Acela, C/MRI, and CBUS systems were all improved.
• Greatly improved icon handling in the Panel Editor, making it much easier to use the specific images you want.
• Many improvements to the help screens.
• Many decoder definition updates.
• Greatly improved Windows installer.
• More options in the Dispatcher support.
