SX4
Daemon for controlling a selectrix railroad (serial interface, RS232 or USB) via TCP/IP commands.
If a panel.xml file (generated by SX4Draw) is supplied, routes can be set via the LanbahnPanel (see LanbahnPanel and SX4Draw documentation)
If a GUI is activated via the “-g” option, JavaFX is needed (part of Java8-JRE, but must be installed separately if Java11 is used) - with this option (-g), automatic runs of trains can be enabled (see SX4Draw documentation)

USAGE
usage: SX4 [-b <arg>] [-d] [-h] [-s <arg>] [-t <arg>] [-v] [-r] [-g]
-b,--baudrate <arg> Baudrate (only needed for SLX825), default=9600
-d,--debug debug output on
-h,--help show help
-s,--serial <arg> Serial Device - default=ttyUSB0 (on windows use COM3 ..)
-t,--type <arg> Interface Type (SLX825, FCC, SIM), default=SIM
-v,--version program version and date
-r,--routing enable routing
-g,--gui GUI with timetables and trips (automatation)
EXAMPLES
FCC / ttyUSB0, debugging on
java -Djava.library.path="/usr/lib/jni/" -jar dist/SX4.jar -s ttyUSB0 -t FCC -d
SLX825 / ttyUSB0, debugging on
java -Djava.library.path="/usr/lib/jni/" -jar dist/SX4.jar -s ttyUSB0 -t SLX825 -b 9600 -d
Simulation only, debugging on
java -Djava.library.path="/usr/lib/jni/" -jar dist/SX4.jar -t SIM -d
SXnet - ASCII tcp/ip (port 4104)
sx channel commands
The daemon listens to ASCII commands on port 4104, currently supported
S <c> <d> - set an sx-channel <c> to value <d> ("S 44 12" -> result "OK")
SX <c> <d> = same as S <c> <d>
R <c> - read a channel ("R 44 -> result would be "X 44 12)
power on/off
SETPOWER 1 => track power on (SETPOWER 0 => track power off)
READPOWER -> result "XPOWER 1" or "XPOWER 0"
single SX bit operations:
To support easy switching of turnouts (i.e. a single bit, not the complete byte of an SX channel/address), so can for example “set bit 3 of channel 85” with the command: SET 853 1 (’…0’ is ‘clear’)
READ 853
response will be something like 'XL 853 1' (or ... 0)
