hJOP Driver
Overview
• The hJOP Driver application allows model railway enthusiasts to take on the role of an engine driver, offering a realistic and interactive experience on railroads operated through the hJOP control system.
• Designed to work exclusively with hJOP (http://hjop.kmz-brno.cz), this application becomes an essential companion for those who wish to control locomotives digitally, bringing authentic engine management to their model railroads.
• The user can directly engage with the railway network, controlling locomotives, managing their speed, and ensuring safe and efficient operation as part of a coordinated digital layout.
Requirements and Compatibility
• The hJOP Driver application requires a functioning installation of the hJOP system and access to an active hJOPserver.
• A stable WiFi connection is necessary, as the app communicates with the control server through a wireless network.
• Compatible with layouts that are configured and managed by hJOP, including multi-user environments where dispatchers assign engines to drivers.
Connection and Setup
• The application connects directly to the hJOPserver once the network details are provided.
• Users can log in and send a request to the dispatcher for engine assignment.
• After approval, the assigned locomotive becomes available for real-time control through the app interface.
Functionalities and Controls
• Real-time throttle control allows precise speed adjustments.
• Directional control enables forward and reverse operation.
• Drivers can monitor the current status of their locomotive, including speed, direction, and operational mode.
• Safety features depend on the hJOP configuration, ensuring that only authorized users operate assigned engines.
User Experience and Purpose
• The hJOP Driver provides an engaging experience for train enthusiasts who wish to simulate real railway operations.
• It promotes collaboration between multiple operators, creating a realistic dispatching and driving environment.
• The software bridges the gap between physical model railroads and digital control systems, enhancing enjoyment and operational flexibility for all participants.
