JMRI Layout Automation

JMRI applications provide a large number of ways of automating your layout, ranging from simple fill-in forms to full-fledged scripting and programming capabilities. These include:

Signaling

JMRI provides signaling logic from simple to prototypical, which can be used to drive your signals in many applications.

Routes

A simple form of automation is to define Routes, which allow you to simplify the control of your turnouts.

Dispatcher

Dispatcher lets you dispatch and (automatically) run trains on layouts with Layout Editor Panels.

Warrants

Warrants let you automatically run trains on layouts with Control Panel Editor Panels.

Logix

Using JMRI Logix, you can specify actions to happen when various conditions occur on the layout.

Scripting

JMRI provides a very powerful scripting tool. Based on a real programming language, it gives you access to all the JMRI capabilities.

Writing your own code in Java

The JMRI libraries greatly simplify writing a program to make your layout do exactly what you want.
