Maerklin Gleisbox 2 and Mobile Station 2 Updater

Description

Allows to update a Märklin Gleisbox 2 or Mobile Station 2 by using a (i.e. USB) SerialCAN dongle connected to a computer Heavily based on the work found here: https://github.com/GBert The application is written in C# / .net Core and has been tested on Windows - Other OS's with .net Core support should work, too.

Required Hardware

You need a SerialCan/SLCAN compatible dongle. I used that one WARNING The linked dongle has NO galvanic isolation between PC and CAN Bus. Take care before connecting stuff together!
