The Bluetooth system :

The system consists of :-  your model railway layout plus this DCC Controller plus the App

Your layout

Small to medium size layouts are ideally suited to this system.

+ DCC Controller

The DCC Controller is easily connected by 2 wires to your layout. Just plug in the connector to a suitable 15v DC power unit. Download an App then link your controller to an Android device via Bluetooth.

The WiFi version is due to be released soon. It operates in the same way as the BT version but uses an ESP01s module instead of a HC-06 BT module. The App required for the WiFi version is 'LocoMotive DCC 3 WiFi'

What is different about this system ?

A very simple electronic circuit provides 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 controller !

You have 3 Apps on the Google Play Store to choose from:

Basic: free App “LocoMotive Cab”

Standard: "Locomotive DCC" App with short addressing and CV read write “LocoMotive DCC”  £5.99

Full featured:  "Locomotive DCC 2" App with 4 digit addressing, CV read/write, program on the main(PoM) and making consists  “Locomotive DCC 2” £8.49

Details of the design and build of this system are described on this website:

NB: App works on Android 8 upwards.

App is not compatible with Apple iOS

Power supply:   voltage of 12 to 18 volts DC

Ensure correct polarity of output plug before connecting.

Connect a 15v 2 amp power supply with a 2.1mm/2.5mm x 5.5 mm plug , for example 

search for  eBay item 235622756192 or go to 'Purchase' section for direct ordering via PayPal

or

Connect a 15v 3 amp power supply similar to :

PowerPax item SW4323B  with a 2.1mm/2.5mm x 5.5 mm plug, available from cpc.farnell.com

or

Connect a Multibao 15v 3A adapter with a 2.1mm/2.5mm x 5.5 mm plug,  search for in Amazon 

or

Connect a Photonic Universe 16v 3A adapter with a 2.1mm x 5.5 mm plug,  search for in Amazon 

or

For N or Z gauge use a 12v 3 amp power adapter with a 2.1 mm x 5.5 mm plug, search on Amazon

 

Do NOT use a AC nor a DC train controller as these do not provide a true DC voltage.

For users over 14 years old.

For indoor use only.
