jmri.jmrit.automat
Class SampleAutomaton

java.lang.Object
  jmri.jmrit.automat.AbstractAutomaton
      jmri.jmrit.automat.SampleAutomaton

All Implemented Interfaces:

Runnable

public class SampleAutomaton
extends AbstractAutomaton

This sample Automaton watches a Sensor, and adjusts the state of a Turnout so that it matches the Sensor's state.

The sensor and turnout id's are hardcoded, as this is an example of just the Automaton function. Adding a GUI to configure these would be straight-forward. The values could be passed via the constructor, or the constructor (which can run in any required thread) could invoke a dialog.

For test purposes, one of these objects can be created and invoked by a SampleAutomatonAction.
