JMRI WebThrottle With Video (Cross Post)

By
This is a cross post from siliconvalleylines.com (link to be posted soon) For the last few years SVL has been running hybrid ops where we have remote operators and in layout room operators. The remote operators get a engineers view of the track using our CabCam Project . This allows our remote engineers to participate and run through trains or trains with light switching with the help of a local brakeman. We are accomplishing this using modified JMRI WebThrottle code and some fancy memory variables that will be explained below. 1. Install the WebThrottle JS and CSS files. Download the webThrottle.css file and the appropriate webThrottle.js file for your install of JMRI. The file labeled webThrottle 426.js is for JMRI versions 4.22-4.26. webThrottle 5+.js is for JMRI 5.0 and up, it works as recently as 5.1.3. These files will be placed in your JMRI install folder. This is different for various operating systems but you wan to look for /JMRI/web/js and /JMRI/web/css respectively. Place...

CabCam Goes UV4L(CrossPost)

By
This is a cross post from SiliconValleyLines.com This is the updated CabCam software package running UV4L. It operates similarly to MJPEG Streamer but it has a WebGUI for on the fly changes and it generally runs better with less bandwidth useage. If you have already setup the hardware for your CabCam skip to step 3 for the updated software. JMRI’s WebThrottle with video will be the next post. Overview We describe how to set up a small computer to stream cab view video from an HO locomotive. This allows remote operation of trains at local or remote layouts, optionally connecting it to video conferencing software like Google Meet or Zoom. GoalsEasy to set up and maintain. Easy to access the cab view via a URL or via conference software eg. Zoom or Meet. Distribute the setup to others for the betterment of the hobby. Provide a low latency video stream to enable remote control via Engine Driver/WiThrottle Keep the hardware within HO NMRA clearances. Use commonly available components and op...
