The function button area is a scroll region. You can access all 32 functions by scrolling. No, perhaps later, but you can (and always have been able to) set a toolbar button as a true eStop.

You can use the speed table to speed match if you wish, but a) you then need to go through the matching process 28 times, and b) you can't use the speed matching page in EX-Toolbox. So if you wish to use the speed matching page in EX-Toolbox and use the process in this video, then yes, you need to turn off the speed table first.

The is no limit to the number of points/turnouts that ED will show. If they are not appearing, then there is something different about the ones that aren't showing. By default ED will not show points/turnouts that don't have a user name. That can be changed in the preferences.

Thanks for the video. So only the android engine driver app will allow you to run a dc engine on what was the program track? Not the IOS WI throttle app?
@peterakers9071
@peterakers9071 7 ай бұрын
The WiThrottle iOS app can run DC locos exactly the same way, but it it doesn't natively have the ability to switch the track to DC. That is not necessarily a problem, as you can set the track as DC in your CS config, or you can create routes/automations that will allow you to switch the track to DC. Either way.. yes it is possible, just little a bit more work to setup.

Hi Peter, have a question, that a few user groups haven't been able to answer... I have a full size control stand, which i am taking the outputs of all the switches, variable resistors... and so on, reading into an arduino Mega, then into Python. From there I can generate and send MQTT to JMRI, and I can see it fine. Where I am lost, I don't know how to bridge the gap between JMRI MQTT to JMRI DCC++/EX and out to my locomotive. The path looks like this: Control Stand Throttle-->Arduino Mega-->Python-->Mosquitto-->JMRI MQTT--> xxxxxxx ->DCC++/EX--> Promini TX--> Promini RX-->To Locomotive. I can't figure out the xxxxx part. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, greatly appreciated!
@peterakers9071
@peterakers9071 7 ай бұрын
sorry, but I have no knowledge of MQTT. If you want to talk to JMRI then the WiThrottle protocol is more than sufficient, and easy enough to do what you want with an ESP32 or similar. If you just want to talk to the EX-CS, the it is easy to do something similar with either the WiThrottle or native protocols. Contact me via email [email protected] and we can discuss.

Thanks for an informative video on DCC-EX and Engine Driver. As a novice, I have a question: Is there a way to download JMRI engine rosters into a cell phone so that Engine Driver can use them which would use the same labeled function keys (specific to each engine) that I have already setup in JMRI? If I use Engine Driver & JMRI Wi-Throttle I have them ... but with DCC-EX direct seems I don't. All the best ...

Peter, Do you have a video on how to change the labels for the functions? The local club is interested in Engine driver and would love to know.
@peterakers9071
@peterakers9071 Жыл бұрын
Hi, I don't have a video for it. Generally the labels are set up for each loco in JMRI roster. ED then just grabs them when you select the loco from the roster. That way they change depending on the specifics of each decoder/loco. You can change the 'default' labels in ED, but that means you will have the same labels for all locos. It is really only intended for when you don't or cannot have a roster entry to choose. (DCC-EX also supports having a roster with individual labels for each function for each loco.)

Thank you for this video and app!!! I hope this isn’t a repeat comment but my other comment does not seem to be showing up. Is there a way to select “full screen” in the WEB portion of this? I am going to use your software to run panels (Kindle Fire HD 8/10) in front of each yard. It will run the turnouts by touch screen. I would like to ONLY have the panel screen and no other buttons. I would also like to lock the scroll and and zoom so the yard master doesn’t move the screen off the yard he is on. Thank you so much!
@peterakers9071
@peterakers9071 Жыл бұрын
Currently you can't go full screen in the Web view. If you are ONLY using the table for using turnouts/points, then you are better off opening the panel in a browser (Chrome, etc.) rather than ED. Locking the scroll and zoom may be difficult in ED as all it is doing is showing a web page in a browser embedded in a window inside an ED window. ED doesn't have much control of the browser at that point. If you want to discuss further contact me directly: [email protected]

Hi, you can't make 'rosters' in Engine Driver. Engine Driver only shows the roster provided by the wiThrottle server. Engine Driver remembers the recent locos you have acquired (default is last 10) which can be used as a sort-of roster. However, You can add a roster to the DCC-EX EX-CommandStation, which Engine Driver can then present. The Instructions are here: dcc-ex.com/ex-rail/editing.html
