You can find the address using the output of my program.įor example, if you press the key on your MS2 for the If this succeeds, and you are able to control the MFX Loko with the MS2, then Now press the "STOP" Button to put current on the track, and the MS2 will beįinding the new Loko, and give it a new address. "STOP" Button is lighting red, and place your "new" MFX Loko on the track. Now you can see all data communications of the CAN-Bus on your screen.Ĭonnect a MS2 if it is not already present, and make sure the Of course you'll have to adjust the IP and Broadcast address

You can manually start my program on the Pi with following command: You can retrieve the address of a MFX Loko.Īfter you have completely setup your Pi using my instructions, Using a Märklin Mobile Station 2 and my program for the Pi: PiCanS88, Presenting two ways to find the right address. Getting the address of a MFX Loko can be tricky. The blue connections can only be wired using isolated wires. Its temperature, and if it gets hot, cut the power supply imediatly. So if youĬonnect this example for the first time, hold your finger on the chip to check Switched, the Chip MCP2551 gets very hot and can get destroyed. Module has to be connected to this example upside-down as you can see in belowĪttention: If the connections CAN High and CAN Low are Pins is opposite, because I couldn't get a real S88-connector. In above mounting instruction, the order of the S88 feedback Using above tams S88-N Adapters can be dangerous, because of reverseįor proper usage please read this part, and if you stillĪll following mounting instructions are based on circuit The S88 ports access must be freed manualy by rasping the case.

Is now also added which can be "jumpered" if needed.Ī guide how to solder the empty PCB with the new V2 circuit diagram can be found In addition I am using for the S88 feedback as voltageĭividers the new resistor values 1,8k and 3,3k, which are giving a betterĪn optional Terminating-Resistor for the CAN Bus with 120 Ohm This new version is using the new MCP2562 instead of the old MCP2551.Īdvantage is, this new chip can use 3.3V as reference, and doesn't need voltageĭividers, and it's said to be more stable. This reply was modified 2 years, 3 months ago by Nikos Lygizos.You can order these components at this German supplier:īus access including S88 Feedback channel Version 2: Especially from the MTC4PU “missing” commands, I think. Initially, is working great except some delayed actions. You will have to re-program all you MattzoControllers with the IP of this Raspberry Pi, unfortunately.

#Rocrail raspberry pi update#
Enter the following commands to update to the latest:.Login using “pi” and “raspberry” for password.Find the IP address of the Raspberry Pi and ssh (Putty):.Put the CD card in the Raspberry Pi and power-up.On the root directory of the image create a text file “wpa_nf” and enter your WiFi information (do not use Note):Ĭtrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdevĬountry=US - 2 Letter Country WiFi Designation Here.Burn the image on the SD card using Balena Etcher.

#Rocrail raspberry pi windows 10#
For the below installation I used a Windows 10 and a Centos VM but can be done with a Mac or just a linux system. Actually, I used the Raspberry Pi OS Lite and installed all necessary packages manually as the “Desktop” and “Recommended” images have a lot of applications, utilities etc.īy the way, the built below is headless (no keyboard, monitor nor mouse required). I do not use the NOOBS image because it is “bladed” with applications I will not need for running Rocrail on it. That means, Raspberry Pi! So I got me a RPi 4 with 4GB of memory and 32GB SD (Class 10). I thought of “shrinking” the computer running Rocrail from a laptop/desktop to something the size of Altoids box!
