How do I install LCS WiFi Module into my system?

How did you get the WiFi module?

Here's your diagram.

I don't have them--they are on order. Maybe a better way to say it is on pre-order.

MartyE,

Thanks for the LCS diagram.  I was hoping not to buy anything else.

The MANCO has been working very well for me; I would hate to lose it.  Since the WiFi module is already running late, I wonder when the SER2 will be out?

CAPPilot,

You must connect the DB-9 w/ power supply directly to the Legacy base, only the Lionel "Y" cable is an exception if you link to a BASE1.   The baud rate is kicked way up on the Legacy Base serial port, and any devices in between are unsupported configurations.

The SER2 will bridge back to the configuration you have in your diagram to the Data-Driver.  I don't know if the Serial booster you have is required or compatible with the LCS cabling.  You can have multiple SER2 boards in an LCS environment, so you can distribute the drive level requirements where needed.

The SER2 will be the first LCS module to arrive to inventory, the WiFi shortly thereafter.   The SER2 is needed for a bridge to DCS, and to allow advanced Legacy commands to be available on the DB-9.  Since the drive level is similar to the BASE1, and BASE1-L, no other boosters should be required. 

OK dumb question, any way to send signals from an Android device to the LCS wifi module?

Can one use the 'bluetrain' app?

IC, this will answer some questions.   www.lionel.com/lcs/FAQ.

Bluetrain works with the LCS WiFi !

Taking Jon's input, I removed the serial booster and added the WiFi and SER2 modules.  Once all the modules and cables are available, this looks like my new electrical/control schematic.

Excellent! Next purchase - but first I need to figure out how to use Rossplates and DZ-1000 on the floor with non-derailing. Not as easy as I hoped

CAPPilot,

Exactly correct.
