<p>The JMRI project is building tools for model railroad computer control.
We want it to be usable to as many people as possible,
so we're building it in Java to run anywhere,
and we're trying to make it independent of specific hardware systems.</p>
<p>JMRI is intended as a jumping-off point for hobbyists
who want to control their layouts with a computer
without having to create an entire system from scratch.</p>
</div>
<div class="flex-item-70">
<p>You can manage your locomotive rosters and easily program your decoders using
<a href="./help/en/html/apps/DecoderPro/index.shtml">DecoderPro®</a>.</p>
<p>You can build control panels and control your layout using
<a href="./help/en/html/apps/PanelPro/index.shtml">PanelPro™</a> to set up signaling and other functions.
<a href="./help/en/html/apps/OperationsPro/index.shtml">OperationsPro™</a>
lets you create manifests that route cars across your railroad from shipper to receiver,
and provide train crews with operating instructions.</p>
<p>Going beyond the basics, you can use <a href="./help/en/html/tools/Logix.shtml">Logix</a> to
automate your layout's behavior, interface with X10 and Insteon systems to control your
layout room's <a href="./help/en/html/tools/Lights.shtml">lights</a>
and write
<a href="./help/en/html/tools/scripting/index.shtml">scripts</a> to extend the capabilities
of the system.</p>

to provide extra capabilities. In addition, some commercial vendors have
created applications that work with, add data to, or take data from JMRI.

After you <a href="./help/en/package/jmri/jmrit/withrottle/UserInterface.shtml">download</a>
and install a program onto your phone, you can connect it
wirelessly to your computer running JMRI, which in turn will run your layout.

JMRI is an informal open-source software group.
We do this for the joy of model railroading, and don't produce anything for profit.

One of our members has spent four years in the Federal Courts
<a href="/k/summary.shtml">defending our right to continue</a>
against an individual who has attacked us with
bogus patent threats, cybersquatting, copyright infringement and other illegal acts.
<p>
We are extremely pleased to announce that this case has been
<a href="/k/Recent.shtml#2010-02-17">settled</a>.
The agreement ends the dispute, and gives everybody involved a way to move forward.
This is a victory for JMRI and open-source software in general.
