The Purpose of SimpleDigitalLocomotive: controlling digital model railway locomotives and function models via the serial port (RS.422) of a Mac...

This simple program can control digital model railway systems compatible to the 6050-syntax using the serial port of a Mac. At the moment only locomotives and function models. Mac's standard serial port was the RS.422 (8-pin) instead of the PC-world's RS.232 (9-pin). After the release of the first iMac and G3 blue/white this serial port was no longer implemented by Apple. Macs of today have only USB as their standard serial interface. The Digital Interface 6050 / 6051 has its own serial port (DIN 8-pin) and is shipped with a cable RS.232-to-Digital-Interface-6051. Other digital controlling devices (for example the IB) have built in a RS.232 modem-serial port. A connection to the Mac is then possible with a standard Mac-modem-cable.

What's New:
  • MacOS 10.4.7 compatibility
  • Intellibox v1.55 compatibility, supporting now long addresses up to 16383.

    Requirements:
  • Mac OS 8.5 - 9.2.2, or
  • Mac OS X 10.2.8 / 10.3.3 or later
  • USB-to-serial converter recognized by Mac OS X
  • Cable serial-to-DigitalControllingDevice
  • Model railway digital controlling device which is compatible to the so-called 6050-syntax
  • Supported external devices: mrkl6021/6051, IB, Selectrix (and compatible).
