Serial commands to: Set the server based momentum

Serial commands to Server based momentum for a specific loco.

<m «loco» «accelerating» «braking»> <m «loco» «momentum»> <m LINEAR> <m POWER>

Commands

  • <m «loco» «accelerating» «braking»> = Set momentum for loco
  • <m «loco» «momentum»> = Set momentum for loco (acceleration and braking)
  • <m LINEAR> = Set Momentum algorithm to linear acceleration
  • <m POWER> = Set momentum algorithm to very based on difference between current speed and throttle setting

Parameters

  • loco: Loco (DCC Address) to set the momentum for
  • accelerating: TODO MEDIUM parameter description and range of values allowed
  • braking: TODO MEDIUM parameter description and range of values allowed
  • momentum: TODO MEDIUM parameter description and range of values allowed

Response

N/A

Notes

  • The momentum calculation is based on the difference in throttle setting and actual speed. For example, the time taken to reach speed 50 from a standing start would be less if the throttle were set to speed 100, thus increasing the acceleration.
  • Setting Momentum 7,14,21 etc is similar in effect to setting a decoder CV03/CV04 to 1,2,3.

Examples

Example Commands

  • <m 3 0> - sets loco 3 to no momentum.
  • <m 3 21> - sets loco 3 to 21 mS/step.
  • <m 3 21 42> - sets loco 3 to 21 mS/step accelerating and 42 mS/step when decelerating.
  • <m LINEAR> - acceleration is uniform up to selected throttle speed.
  • <m POWER> - acceleration depends on difference between loco speed and selected throttle speed.
