These nice features will make your DCC cooler.
Control and film at same time
Ok, you're not a juggler, right? Therefore, you no longer need to juggle the throttle, the train, the camera, the coffee, and the cat to capture a flawless video clip. With Locontrol, all you need to do is start recording, throttle up the locomotives, play the whistles, jingle the bells, and take your time to capture the perfect clip using only one screen and one hand!
Identify your locos by their pictures.
We know, we know. To remember every single loco's address numbers in your vast yard is hard. We also have headaches on this. Therefore, we believe that selecting a locomotive based on its photo is significantly simpler than remembering an address number!
All functions on a scroll.
Oh man… It is truly frustrating to use a complex key combination to access all the decoder functions on those antiquated black plastic throttles! The process is not at all fluid or intuitive. On Loncontrol, you just scroll all functions with a finger!
The tech
Locontrol takes advantage of JMRI technology to deliver a basic yet elegant DCC throttle for iOS. Senior designers and developers worked tirelessly to elevate the WiFi DCC throttle experience.
Locontrol can work with any JMRI-supported WiFi DCC station, like a DIY Arduino Station (DCCEX) or most commercial ones.
After setting up your DCC Station, make sure your iPhone can connect to its WiFi server (through the setup app on the iPhone). Now, open the Locontrol app, choose the DCC WiFi Station SSID on the list, and then enter the DCC Station IP and port number (refer to the DCC Station manual or a label on it). Thats it! You are ready to go.
