What Does OpenMRN Do?
OpenMRN has the ability to connect to a Layout Command Control bus, pass messages to and from the network, as well as formatting messages.
What is the Advantage of OpenMRN
OpenMRN is Open-Source Software, meaning anyone and any manufacturer can use it for their hardware. Being open source, it is available free of charge.
OpenMRN is a set of C++ code designed to make it easier to implement LCC support. This might be in accessory decoders, in a command station, in a throttle, or any other device. The code is designed to be able to run on microcontrollers.
