I can now read the Engine and Accessory rosters from the Base 3. It will be easy enough to do the same for switches and routes as well. Between this and the code I added earlier to query LCS devices t system startup, I have all the pieces I need to keep system state in sync.
Reading data from the Base 3 also lets me get the road names nd numbers of everything, but I don’t think this will be of too much use in fabricating control panels, at least the ones I plan to build.
The Raspberry Pi’s continue to be able to handle all of the work, and the memory footprint is still pretty minimal.
The next big piece left is packaging the code so I can upload it to PyPi. This will make it much easier for end users to grab the code without having to set up a development environment.
