You do NOT need a Windows PC! The Arduino IDE (required for building the software) is available for Windows, macOS and Linux. JMRI (which is required if you don't build a wireless system) is also available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The DCC++ EX installer also runs on any of these systems. The Arduino IDE is only required while building the DCC++ software and loading it onto the Arduino.
Hi, I'm new to the hobby and trying to understand some of these technologies. If I don't have a wifi shield for the Arduino, does that mean the Arduino must be connected to a computer for JMRI whenever I want to run the trains? I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding how everything interacts. Thank you

Great job! Very clear and well organized. Thank you.
Great explanation and clear and concise. Thank You.
Thanks for this, looking to build my 1st DCC++setup and this jas really helped
Awesome job and thanks for sharing, now there is more to think about LOL
Cheers Mark
Thanks!
May I ask, do you have a link to the Arduino WiFi or Bluetooth handheld throttle? :-)
An arduino in my draws...I used to have a mega when I was married but the wife said it was a nano, now it's just a uno.. 🤣
