Reply to "DIY Very Affordable Radio Controlled Engine Control"

Phil, I think I'm already using your CRC/Morton code, since Mike passed it on to me!  I built a fully automated train control system based on Arduino Mega, that uses Mike & Mark's work to control DCS engines (as well as TMCC)

I wondered if it would be possible to coax the RFM69 to talk to the TIU - it would be sweet if Mark could get the RFM69 OOK working.

Unlike DCS, the Lionel protocols are fully documented, so reading Legacy commands from the Command base serial output is easy. Right now I'm working on some boards that would plug into the Lionel LCS system, and bridge between the LCS and RFM69 or CC1101 radios.  

Mark wrote yesterday he's got the Adafruit Feather 32U4 with RFM69 working with OOK.  So it can talk to the TIU.  He mentioned something about the board needing a soldered jumper in order to work with Mike's TrainBrain, so for now he's pursuing a Seeduino solution.

What software are you using to drive your fully automated system?  Mark's RTC?  TrainBrain?  JMRI?  Home brew?  I'm still looking for how to automate my setup once I get the pieces I've described here pushed out to my engines and switches.  Sorry if you've posted elsewhere here about your automation.   I've followed your posts in the past but don't recall.
