• Develop preliminary software for Raspberry Pi (3) and (3A) to:
    • Pass DCC++ commands from the laptop (4) to the Arduino (2) and return status from the Arduino to the laptop.
      • Internet interface between Laptop (4) and Raspberry Pi (3)
      • USB/internet interface between PC (4) and Raspberry Pi (3A)
      • USB interface between Raspberry Pi (3A) and (3)
      • USB interface between Raspberry Pi (3) and Arduino/DCC++ BaseStation (2)
    • Accept commands from the laptop to control the servos/semaphores.
      • Design signal control commands/response between the PC (4) and Raspberry Pi (3)
      • Extract signal control commands from stream coming from PC
    • Accept commands from the laptop to Raspberry Pi (3 A ) to manage turnout sensors
      • Extract sensor control commands from stream coming from PC
      • Add/update/delete the association between turnout sensor IDs and GPIO pins
      • Report stored sensor IDs
      • Store/delete associations
      • Report to the laptop (4) the status or changes in status of the turnout sensors.
    • In lieu of a "FanShim" for cooling, design and install a Raspberry Pi (3) fan
      • Design fan mounting to cool Raspberry Pi CPU to avoid clock throttling
