I was examining the ongoing work that's being forked from Gregg's DCC++, and looks like the more current fork as far as commits goes, is being done by a gentleman by the name of Dylan Myers. Does anyone have any information? I want to find out how stable this fork is and what's been added... the commits do have some info, but I'd rather chat with the guy. Thanks! -Josh Murrah
I've been talking with him on FB. He is working on a few specific features for his own use (Fundumoto shield support, Consist support [in progress]). So far I would consider his fork to be in development but somewhat stable. For those wanting to see what he has added here is a link to his repo: https://github.com/Dylan-M/BaseStation
You can also have a look to my own fork, https://github.com/Locoduino/DCCpp . My goal was to avoid complex modifications inside the body of the Gregg's sources to adapt it to your needs. DCCpp is a real Arduino library, and all the settings have to be done through the user's ino file. Another goal was to be able to use any motor shield and motor circuit. The legacy shields (Pololu and Arduino Motor Sheild) are still availables, but it is easy to use something else, like an external LMD18200... For network access, I have add a more recent interface for ENC28J60 chip.
not to hijack this thread, but have there been any developments by the persons named here or others that have improved the programming capabilities of the system? That is to make it a universal programmer rather than doing some decoders better than others. In the early days for this system, some decoders programmed reliably, others didn't as well until tweaked, others didn't work except one cv at a time using decoderpro. I've said this elsewhere, but my goal is to use DCC++ as a workbench programming tool as it's principal function. Thx Lyle D
Lyle, that depends. Might be worthwhile to discuss this further. If you have a thread on it already tag me in it and let's chat there. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk
