How to connect DCC++ EX to WiFi and use Engine Driver to run your trains
This is a short tutorial on how to wirelessly connect DCC++ EX via WiFi to Engine Driver. We demonstrate using a Makerfabs (or similar) ESP8266 WiFi Shield.
The port to connect is 2560
DCC-EX Website: dcc-ex.com
Arduino IDE: www.arduino.cc/en/main/software
WiFi Shield: www.makerfabs.com/esp8266-wifi-shield.html
(do a search for this shield, it is available from many sources)
We also show the Duinopeak board that takes an ESP-01 board. You can search for "esp-01 shield". Ali-Express and Banggood has them. You may be able to email the manufacturer at duinopeak.com
Other shields may work, the criterion is that it has an AT Command set built-in to the firmware, has a 5V to 3.3V regulator on board, and level shifters for the Tx and Rx pins to convert the 5V Arduino pin logic voltage to the 3.3V of the ESP8266 and back. If you use just an ESP-01, 01S, ESP-12 board, you can easily use just 4 jumpers to wire it directly. We will cover that in a future video

This is a short demonstration of what the DCC EX Team has been working on for the next release of our Model Railroad Command Station. If you are releasing an all new Command Station (ComandStation-EX), then why not a Cab / Throttle too! Users want to be able to run trains, and even if they may use something like JMRI to control their model railroad, there is always use for a simple, fast, easy ...
New DCC++ EX with no jumpers connected directly via WiFi to Engine Driver

This is a short demonstration of what the DCC EX Team has been working on in the next release of our Model Railroad Command Station. We have eliminated the need for jumper wires on the Arduino Uno and Mega, created an easy to use installer program, improved current sensing and ACK detection in order to read and write CVs, and added the ability to connect to Control Software on your phone via Wi...
