Train Lighting Simulator - Backend

This is the backend for the Train Lighting Simulator. It simulates communication between the Central Train Computer (CTC) and the Remote Device (RD) for protocol-based lighting control.

Features

• Serves protocol configuration JSON files to the frontend.
• Handles incoming requests for protocol commands and simulates responses.
• Configurable endpoints for multiple protocols (e.g., CIP, TRDP).

Setup Instructions

1. Prerequisites

   • Node.js (v16 or higher)
   • npm or yarn

2. Clone the Repository

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd train-lighting-simulator/backend

3. Install Dependencies

   npm install

4. Run the Server

   npm start

   The backend server will start at http://localhost:5000.

5. API Endpoints

   • GET /protocol-configs/:protocol: Serves protocol configuration JSON files.
