The DCC-EX Team is pleased to release CommandStation-EX-v3.0.0 as a Production Release. This release is a major re-write of earlier versions. We've re-architected the code-base so that it can better handle new features going forward. Download the compressed files here:
Nieuwe mogelijkheden van CommandStation-EX V3.0.0:
Bekende problemen
- WiFi Support - AP and station modes supported. Auto-detection of an ESP8266 WiFi module with AT firmware on a Mega's serial port. Connection to JMRI and WiThrottle clients.
- Withrottle Integrations - Act as a host for four WiThrottle clients concurrently.
- Add LCD/OLED support - OLED supported on Mega only
- Improved CV programming routines - checks for length of CV pulse, and breaks out of the wait state once it has received an ACK, now reading one CV per second.
- Improved current sensing - rewrote current sensing routines for safer operation. Current thresholds based on milliamps, not magic numbers
- Individual track power control - Ability to toggle power on either or both tracks, and to "JOIN" the tracks and make them output the same waveform for multiple power districts.
- Single or Dual-Pin PWM output - Allows control of H-bridges with PH/EN or dual PWM inputs
- New, simpler function command - <F> command allows setting functions based on their number, not based on a code as in <f>
- Function reminders - Function reminders are sent in addition to speed reminders
- Functions to F28 - All NMRA functions are now supported
- Filters and user functions - Ability to filter commands in the parser and execute custom code based on them
- Diagnostic <D> commands - See documentation for a full list of new diagnostic commands
- Rewrote DCC++ Parser - more efficient operation, accepts multi-char input and uses less RAM
- Rewritten waveform generator - capable of using any pin for DCC waveform out, eliminating the need for jumpers
- Rewritten packet generator - Simplify and make smaller, remove idea of "registers" from original code
- Add free RAM messages - Free RAM messages are now printed whenever there is a decerase in available RAM
- Fix EEPROM bugs
- Number of locos discovery command - <#> command
- Support for more locomotives - 20 locomotives on an UNO and 50 an a Mega.
- Automatic slot managment - slot variable in throttle/function commands are ignored and slot management is taken care of automatically. <!> command added to release locos from memory.
- Consisting through JMRI - currently does not work in this release. A number of testers were able to develop a work around. If interested enter a Support Ticket.
- Wi-Fi - works, but can be challenging to use if you want to switch between AP mode and STA station mode.
- Pololu Motor Shield - is supported with this release, but the user may have to play around with some timings to enable programming mode due to limitation in its current sensing circuitry
