Interactive Signalling Laboratory

About

The Interactive Signalling Laboratory is a comprehensive educational toolkit for railway signalling systems. This repository serves as a meta-repository that brings together various components of the project, including 3D models, and documentation.

Modules

The project consists of several 📦 submodules:

| Module | Description | Purpose | |--------|-------------|---------| | 📖 handbook | Signalling exercises and learning materials | Contains how to use the laboratory with exercises | | 🌐 website | Web-based documentation | Howto construct the Interactive Signalling Laboratory | | 🏗️ papercut | Paper-based objects | For prototyping and testing | | 🏗️ 3d-models | 3D printable models | Signalling equipment for wooden train sets |

Getting Started

Cloning the Repository

To clone this repository with all its submodules, use:

bash git clone --recursive https://github.com/RailEduKit/InteractiveSignallingLaboratory.git cd InteractiveSignallingLaboratory

If you've already cloned the repository without submodules, you can initialize them with:

bash git submodule init git submodule update

Working with Individual Components

Each component can be used independently:

  1. Papercut

    • Navigate to the papercut directory
    • Follow the instructions in its README for printing and using the materials

  2. 3D Models

    • Access the 3d-models directory
    • Use the provided STL files with your 3D printer
    • Check the website for assembly instructions

  3. Handbook

    • The handbook directory contains how to use the laboratory with exercises
    • Includes tutorials and reference materials

  4. Website

    • The website directory contains the web interface
    • Follow the setup instructions in its README for local development
