| 9 | Both the controller and the client GUI send their data as JSON Objects. | ||
| 10 | In JSON every Object is an unordered set of key/value pairs. The values of these pairs can be a JSON Object, a JSON Array or a primitive value (integer, string, boolean or null). | ||
| 11 | For more information or a complete grammar see [[http:~~/~~/www.json.org/>>url:http://www.json.org/||shape="rect"]]. | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | == Messages sent by Controller == | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | * Every message must provide the keys **msgType** and **data**. | ||
| 16 | * Valid values for **msgType** are// log//, //error// or// status//. | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | === Log messages === | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | For //log// messages the **data** segment consists of a JSON Array, containing zero or more strings. | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | === Error messages === | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | For //error// messages the **data** segment consists of one single string, describing the error. | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | === Status messages === | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | In //status// messages the **data** segment is a JSON Object which must contain the following key/value pairs. | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | * **debug** - true if the controller is set to verbose debug output, false otherwise | ||
| 31 | * **cleanup** - true after cleanup mode has been engaged, false before that point | ||
| 32 | * **pause** - true while the controller is paused, false otherwise | ||
| 33 | * **trainCount** - an integer with the number of active trains on the railway | ||
| 34 | * **trains** - a JSON Array with the data of all trains, each entry is a JSON Object with these values | ||
| 35 | ** **state** - integer value for current train state (0 = travelling, 1 = waiting, 2 = forced travel, 3 = forced wait) | ||
| 36 | ** **waitTime** - (integer) remaining milliseconds until departure (0 if not waiting) | ||
| 37 | ** **spdSlow** - the integer PWM value of this train while driving slow | ||
| 38 | ** **spdCaution** - the integer PWM value of this train while driving caution | ||
| 39 | ** **spdNormal** - the integer PWM value of this train while driving normally | ||
| 40 | ** **stationTimes** - a flat array of the form [station1_minTime, station1_maxTime, station2_minTime, station2_maxTime, ...]. The order of the stations is defined by the order in the table below but the KH (reverse) tracks are omitted. | ||
| 41 | ** **currentIndex** - an integer describing the current position in the schedule | ||
| 42 | ** ((( | ||
| 43 | **schedule** - a JSON Array of integer values, representing the station tracks, encoded in the following fashion | ||
