My next area of work will be implementing FAST_CLOCK_CONTROL for Lights. I realize that I will have to develop a FastClock object for JMRI, together with a Schedule object to allow on/off times to be set up easily by the user. The initial use for this on my layout is to control scenery lighting on a fast 24-hour schedule. I understand that there is other functionality that can be controlled by a Fast Clock, for example, triggering running a train across the layout. I only understand Fast Clock functionality in a very basic sense, and haven't used one previously. I don't have a design yet, and would welcome input. All comments and suggestions are welcome, but I would especially like input on: 1) clock functionality from a user point of view, 2) how a Fast Clock might interact with systems other than Digitrax and C/MRI, and 3)any implementation suggestions (both global and detailed). I won't necessarily implement a "full featured" Fast Clock, but I will design whatever I do implement to be extensible in that direction. Please help me understand what "that direction" should be.
