Recently i found an app for the ipone that works with any computer interface for dcc. Its called wii throttle and i was wondering if anyone else uses it and if so what do you think of it
Yes I use it on a Digitrax system, it is a good app and works beautifully.
It doesn’t work on all systems only those supporting JMRI, this exclude MRC DCC.
Of course you need a computer interface and a wireless router.
I use it as second cab on my my Power Cab system. It works well ad is fun to use.
There’s also an Android based throttle for droid phones and tablets. It’s called “Engine driver”. The App is free.
I use the iPhone app, makes a handy wireless throttle without buying any extra wireless gear - I already have an access point in my house, and a computer connected to my layout, so it was a natural to use the throttle app.

i bought my first ipod just for this reason. was a cheap way to have a radio type controler. its a first gen ipod, but hay for 50 bucks it was alot cheaper than a radio throttle and panel. i too use it with my digitrax system with jmri and works great.

Works very well with my NCE Power House Pro, JMRI decoder pro, and iPod 3. I have both versions of the app and both work great.
