T2 C2 MCP Server

What is T2_C2?

T2_C2 is a Master Control Program (MCP) server for the Blade Runner project. It manages connections from CCPs (Blade Runner controllers), stations, and LED controllers over UDP port 2001, logs events, and coordinates calibration and train operations. It is designed for controlling a model railway system with multiple autonomous vehicles.

How to use T2_C2?

The server listens on UDP port 2001 for incoming connections from CCPs, stations, and LED controllers. Calibration begins when Blade Runners are placed on the track; the system identifies each unit’s station location before starting a session. The README does not provide explicit installation or configuration steps beyond referencing the port.

Key features of T2_C2

• Manages multiple incoming connections from CCPs, stations, and LED controllers (100% working)
• Logs all significant events, statuses, and errors for monitoring (100% working)
• Sends basic initialization acknowledgments to CCPs (50% ongoing)
• Tracks Blade Runner positions from status updates (40% ongoing)
• Sends basic speed commands (SLOW, FAST) to CCPs (30% ongoing)
• Receives and logs status updates from all components (40% ongoing)
• Planned: collision prevention, door control, LED control, error handling, system-wide actions

Use cases of T2_C2

• Calibrating the positions of multiple Blade Runners on a track before a session begins
• Managing the movement and speed of Blade Runners on a track system
• Coordinating stops at stations using sensor data (under development)
• Preventing collisions through block occupancy management (under development)
• Synchronizing doors and LED signaling across stations and Blade Runners (planned)
