-Hopper
------
-
-![hopper](https://github.com/joe7575/minecart/blob/master/hopper.png)
-
-The Hopper is used to load/unload Minecarts.
-The Hopper can pull and push items into/out off chests and can drop/pick up items 
-to/from Minecarts. To unload a Minecart place the hopper below the rail. 
-To load the Minecart, place the hopper right next to the Minecart.


-Cart Pusher
-----------
+## Manual

-Used to push a cart if the cart does not stop directly at a buffer.
-The block has to be placed below the rail.
+see [Wiki](https://github.com/joe7575/minecart/wiki)


-Cart Speed / Speed Limit Signs
------------------------------
-
-As before, the speed of the carts is also influenced by power rails.
-Brake rails are irrelevant, the cart does not brake here.
-The maximum speed is 8 m/s. This assumes a ratio of power rails
-to normal rails of 1 to 4 on a flat section of rail. A rail section is a
-series of rail nodes without a change of direction. After every curve / kink,
-the speed for the next section of the route is newly determined,
-taking into account the swing of the cart. This means that a cart can
-roll over short rail sections without power rails.
-
-In order to additionally brake the cart at certain points
-(at switches or in front of a buffer), speed limit signs can be placed
-on the track. With these signs the speed can be reduced to 4, 2, or 1 m / s.
-The "No speed limit" sign can be used to remove the speed limit.
-
-The speed limit signs must be placed next to the track so that they can
-be read from the cart. This allows different speeds in each direction of travel.

 ## Command Interface

@ -159,14 +129,6 @@ The Cart Terminal has a Beduino command interface with the commands:



-Migration to v2
---------------
-
-The way how carts are monitored and the cart speed is calculated has changed.
-Therefore, it is necessary that all carts are repositioned and the
-recording is repeated.
-Rails and buffers are not affected and can be kept unchanged.

Dies setzt eine Verhältnis von "power rails" zu "normal rails" von 1 zu 4 auf einem ebenen Streckenabschnitt voraus. Ein Streckenabschnitt ist dabei ein Reihe von Schienenblöcken ohne Richtungsänderung. Nach jeder Kurve/Knick wird die Geschwindigkeit für den nächsten Streckenabschnitt neu bestimmt, wobei hier der Schwung des Carts mit berücksichtigt wird. So kann ein Cart auch über kurze Streckenabschnitt ohne "power rails" rollen.@n@nUm das Cart zusätzlich an bestimmten Stellen abzubremsen (an Weichen oder vor einen Puffer), können Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungszeichen an der Strecke platziert werden. Durch diese Zeichen kann die Geschwindigkeit auf 4, 2, oder 1 m/s reduziert werden. Durch das Aufhebungszeichen kann die Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung wieder aufgehoben werden.@n@nDie Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungszeichen müssen so neben die Strecke platziert werden, dass sie vom Cart ablesbar sind. Dies erlaubt damit unterschiedliche Geschwindigkeiten pro Fahrtrichtung.
