Supported Hardware

Select the USB Device Descriptor for the SPROG and change the drop-down to FTDI Default. Click on Program Devices (lightning bolt logo) IMPORTANT: Ensure the SPROG, and only the SPROG is ticked (check the device and Loc ID against the main FTPROG window). Click Program and wait for it to finish. Click Cycle Ports. Go into device manager and find the device. Click on 'update driver software' and select the option 'search automatically' (ie go to the web with Windows Update). In my case it downloaded and installed the drivers for both my Lenz devices - decoder programmer (with FTDI chip) and the LAN/USB (which has a different make of chip).

Glossary/ FAQ

JMRI supports a wide range of DCC 'command station'-style products from various model railroad automation vendors. We also support non-DCC layout accessories and devices that connect via a variety of networks and protocols. This page lists hardware and networks that JMRI is known to work with, and provides links to information on how to configure JMRI to work with each particular type.

  • Hardware Supported:
  • Additional Topics:

If there is a way to make a computer communicate with a given piece of model railroad equipment, it is possible to connect it to JMRI. If you don't see your particular system here, please ask about it on the JMRI users.

For developers adding new hardware integration: see here for information about Creating Help and Web Pages for New Hardware.

General hardware info

Turnout feedback

If your layout uses some feedback mechanism to sense the actual positions of Turnouts, for example a microswitch connected to the throw bars or a decoder that returns a confirmation message, JMRI can use that to keep track of what's actually happening on the layout. We call this 'Feedback', and how to configure and use it is described on the Turnout Feedback page.
