@Mark Boyce posted:I didn't accomplish anything more, but I did receive a WiFi Interface Unit WIU from my not quite local hobby shop, McCormick's Hardware down in Zelienople. I haven't opened the box yet. My hands are having more trouble operating the remote, either the MTH or the TMCC variety. I thought I would give it a try after a forum friend about 40 miles away got one and really likes it.
Mark- I've been using the LionChief app for a while and now the new Cab3 app. Using the phone instead of a remote is growing on me.
I'm also thinking of getting a Ipad mini or comparable Android tablet dedicated to train running. I think a larger screen would be better, and I don't like to tie up my phone when I'm running trains. A good case that allows me to hold it securely with one hand is a must as well. I've found that I'm using both hands more with the apps than I do with the remotes. Finally a mounting bracket that I will put at my control panel to hold the tablet when necessary.
Biggest drawback is that I need to look at the screen all the time when making adjustments.
