Client server architecture allows extra computers to be used as extra overviews or controllers. Modern software techniques make it possible to run the program on all major computer operating systems such as Windows, macOS and Linux. For example, automatic block control avoids collisions and you control which train is driving manually or fully automatically according to a selected route.
#ITRAIN CANVAS INSTALL#
We recommend installing OpenJDK 11 with Long Term Support (LTS).Īfter installing Java you can download and install the installer.ITrain offers an easy to use solution to control your model railroad with your computer(s), especially if you want to automate only parts of your layout and keep control of the rest yourself.
If this is not working you have to install OpenJDK manually. Ubuntu Linux: sudo apt install default-jre To download a Java Runtime environment (JRE) go to the package manager to install Java.
If there is no Java 8 or higher available then install a new version. To check if it is already installed you have to type the following in the Terminal: Sudo dpkg -i iTrain_linux_jre_.deb Alternative You can download and install one of the Debian packages and run them by double clicking or starting them in the Terminal with: This is necessary for installing iTrain in the folder 'Program files'. Ignore any warning before the download starts and expect a request for making changes to your device.
You can download and install the 64-bit installer or the 32-bit installer and run it by double clicking. You can drag the iTrain to the 'Dock' to start it from there as well. You have to download the macOS Intel disk image or macOS M1 disk image and copy the application to your 'Applications' folder.įor OS X 10.7 - 10.12 we recommend upgrading to at least High Sierra (10.13) if this is possible with your Mac. The installation procedure differs per operating system: macOS (OS X)
#ITRAIN CANVAS SERIAL#
Lenz LI-USB Computer Interface, Locobuffer USB, Dinamo via USB, all USB serial converters with an FTDI chipset and many others devices with USB: FTDI VCP Drivers.All Intellibox products with a USB connector (II, Basic, COM): USB to UART Bridge, CP210x VCP Drivers.
#ITRAIN CANVAS DRIVERS#
Normally Windows drivers are already supplied on a CD-rom, but in many cases drivers for macOS and Linux are also downloadable from the internet from the chipset supplier.ĭepending on your digital system two drivers are very popular and available for multiple platforms: This serial port emulation or Virtual Com Port (VCP) requires drivers to be installed on your computer. In most cases this USB interface emulates a serial port in software so that for iTrain it acts like a serial port. Newer digital systems may already have a USB interface. We recommend an adapter based on the FTDI chipset. You can use a USB serial adapter to create a serial port. However, most computers don't have a serial port anymore. Some older digital systems (Märklin 6021/51 or Intellibox classic/IR) are connected to the computer by means of a serial port (RS232).
Depending on the size of the layout a higher resolution is recommended. The minimal screen resolution to run iTrain properly is 1280 x 800. The minimum amount of required memory is 1 Gb of RAM. You will need at least a computer with a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system like macOS, Windows or Linux. There are some requirements to be able to run this program. Older project files should first be opened and saved in iTrain 4.1 before opening them in iTrain 5.x.
#ITRAIN CANVAS LICENSE KEY#
After installing version 5.x you first have to enter the new license key for version 5 before you open the project file that you used in 4.1. That means that people who have bought a 4.x license have to buy an upgrade to be able to switch. It is recommended to always check the forum announcements before installing a new upgrade. These steps are described in the announcements on the iTrain forum. Without these steps your current project will not behave correctly. When moving to version 5 a few manual steps are necessary. It is recommended to read the following to ensure proper installation. The downloads can be found on the right side.
