[Jmri-developers] NCE and 'Assign Loco' command

[Ken C. <kca...@st...>]

>From a pair of threads in the NCE group, the topic of how to pass locos
from one throttle to another came up. The NCE answer was their 'Assign
Loco' command to pass all the settings from one throttle to another. But
somebody also asked about passing locos from a JMRI throttle to a real
throttle and back.

Given how the JMRI throttle interacts with the NCE system, could that
use the 'Assign Loco' command?? Or does all of the JMRI throttles
'sneak' into the command station and not look like real throttles as far
as the command station is concerned??

I figured I'd ask first, then dive into the code if there are some clues
to it being a possible. But since Digitrax also does some transferring
of locos between throttles I suspect there may be something in JMRI to
make that possible. But I also think there are enough differences that
it may not work that way for NCE systems.
