- DCC model-railway owners setting up train control
- Worth noticing
- The programmer backs up every CV and checks which locomotive is on the track before writing changes.
Field notes
The described setup can run on a Raspberry Pi in its own case or on Windows, with devices on the network finding it at dccbox.local through a browser. Locomotive programming includes a track-presence check and CV backup; a separate recording mode for turning operation into editable routes is explicitly marked as coming.
