Programs can be written in many different languages, but one of the most common and easy to understand languages for personal computers is BASIC. I hope by studying the above examples you will begin to see how easy it is to program the C/MRI to handle any signaling requirement including aligning and locking turnouts. Contagiously, it becomes exciting to key in a few lines and watch things begin to work on the railroad! One of my greatest joys is to see such personality changes brought on by the C/MRI experience. His comments changed to those like, “This programming my railroad is not bad at all.I still have a little problem now and then but for the most part everything works right away.when I do have to scratch my head for a bit, it’s wonderful to see the right performance evolve.I feel better having done it myself and then I really know how it works.” He then went on to program several additional railroads. For example I performed contract programming for a fellow railroader because he told me, “I want to put in a large C/MRI system, I can do the hardware but I need to hire someone to do the programming.” I was so busy at the time that I tried to talk him into doing the programming but he came back very strongly with, “I can never program, I've tried before.I don't understand it.never will.It's beyond me.etc.” I took the job, and working with the person I got part way through and once he saw how straightforward C/MRI programming was, he took over all the programming himself.
