Just curious who, if anyone, has designed a control panel through LCS to use on thier IPAD to throw switches? I have about 30+ ross switches with the 2500 switch machines and have the ZStuff data driver to throw them through my remote, but was thinking it might be nice to visually see them and throw them from there. On Satruday, at Trainfest, I saw how Steve from Ross Swithces was controlling his turntable with the app and it was really cool.

I real like this feature of LCS. Tap the screen to throw the turnout. You also get a visual color indication of turnout position. No need to memorize turnout numbers. You can put the entire layout on one scrolling screen, or multiple sections like the yard pictured above. You can even link multiple turnouts to throw with one tap, which is useful with crossovers. My setup uses multiple ASCs daisy-chained to a SER2 that is connected to the LCS Wifi module. You can also use ASC2s plus the LCS Wifi.

Thanks, what type of switches and machines do you have? That is the biggest thing for me, I would love to not have to remember switch numbers. With the 2500 machines and legacy I just had to buy the data driver, control them all through it. I would hate to have to buy a bunch of additional LCS items to control them, but I don’t know that part yet.
