Getting Started - ISE ProtoThrottle Manual

Getting Started

When using the receiver with an ESU Cab Control system using
default settings, go right to Step 1. If you are using the receiver
with JMRI WiFi Throttle or Digitrax LNWI-based systems, or need
to change the network settings, see the System Setup instructions.
The ProtoThrottle Receiver is based on a stripped-down but other-
wise stock version of Raspbian, an open source Linux distribution
Step 1: Connect the short USB cable between the Raspberry Pi
available from the Raspberry Pi Foundation website:
board and the XBee board as shown above.
https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/
Step 2: Verify that the SD card is seated firmly in the socket
The ProtoThrottle Receiver code is open source
Step 3: Connect the long USB cable from power supply as shown
under the GPL v3 and is available from Github:
above. Plug in the power supply.

Step 4: Wait about 30 seconds for Raspberry Pi to boot. During
this time the activity light on the Raspberry Pi will blink and D6,
D7, D8, and D9 may light dimly. Once D8 and D9 are on fully,
the receiver is ready and connected to the command station.
If a mini-HDMI cable is plugged in when power is applied to
the Raspberry Pi, and connected to a monitor, a running log of
debug information will be displayed.
Step 5: Configure the ProtoThrottle. The default receiver base
address is zero (0).
Have Fun!
