Full App now has 127 locos to choose from (was 20)
No soldering and no programming required.Add a DC 15 volt power source.
Complete DCC Controller used along with ‘LocoMotive DCC’ App.Includes :- Bluetooth communication with Android device (phone or tablet)- Microprocessor to process the incoming data- TLE5206 H-bridge to provide 3 Amp load- 3D printed enclosure- Panel mount power jack socket- Quick connecter block for track wires
Just add power supply to have your Command Station connected to your railway layout tracks and control trains via the App.
What is different about this system ?A very simple electronic circuit provide the DCC signal and power for the track, however the App does the real work ! The computer on your phone is utilised to the full by constructing the codes required to form each packet of instructions, thus simplifying the job of the Arduino controller !

 

Full version of App available at 5.99 on Play Store

Current limited by this power unit to 2 amps

 
 

Do NOT use a DC train controller as these do not provide a true DC voltage.
For users over 14 years old.For indoor use only.
