Introduction

S-Nano is a DCC interface for connection between the USB port of a
personal computer or similar device and a DCC booster. S-Nano transforms a
DCC booster into a computer controlled DCC command station by formatting
data packets from USB (sent by appropriate software running on the
computer) into correctly timed DCC data packets.
S-Nano is not a decoder programmer, although "ops-mode" or "on-the-main"
programming is still possible depending on the features of the controlling
software.
S-Nano is supported by JMRI project (http://jmri.sourceforge.net/) which, by
use of the java programming language, allows platform independent support
of a wide range of DCC hardware. The JMRI software is shareware available
as a free download.
