JMRI Script Language
« on: January 22, 2008, 08:40:53 AM »

I would like to start writing some scripts to handle setting switches for routes, etc.

I do have a programming background but I can't seem to find any documentation on the instruction set.  Does anyone know of any publications that provide information on the available instruction set, instruction syntax and functions?

Thanks,
Dave

I think a lot of it is python ..

Your best bet is to join the yahoo group for JMRI. There is a files section, with lots of examples ..

Also... http://jmri.sourceforge.net/   and   http://jmri.sourceforge.net/doc/scripts/index.html

You should  start here, and get your basic understanding...

Funny... the coders here where I work almost universally swoon over Python. (Haven't touched it myself, hope to never.)

Thanks to everyone for your contributions.

I guess this is a case of needing to being careful for what you wish for...you just might get it.

The instruction set documentation alone is 1,050 pages.  I guess I better pick up a few reams of paper and another laserjet ink cartridge.

At least I have a place to start.

David .. don't do that . just go to the yahoo groups site. There are numerous example scripts there that can be modified for your use ..

Yea, I should probably do that...Afterall, I am a member of the group but haven't had much of chance to actually scope things out.
