Hi guys, got a new version for you.  No bluetooth changes, but the new version will also work with the new Lionel LCS WiFi box!  This is the same WiFi box that Lionel uses to control trains with the IPad.  So once its available, you can control your trains with Apple or Android stuff!

 

It is set to default to the WiFi box, so you will have to go to settings and select bluetooth if you are a first time user.

If Lionel actually does release the interface specifications for Legacy, maybe Bob will upgrade it to handle the full Legacy capability.

John, do you have a link to the adapter you got?  I'm hoping to get an old TMCC command base this week, and would love to try this app.  What versions of Android does it run on, and will it work on phones and tablets?  I hope phones because that's why I haven't looked into command yet, the remotes are stupid big.

Enjoy what there, it took a lot of effort to get this far.

 

Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

 

Any guesses as to how many people have downloaded and using your app?

I received my Arduino adapter today and hooked it up inline with my TMCC command base and a temporary 2 AA 3V battery box setup.  Then I paired it with my 2 year old Samsung Stratosphere Galaxy (running Gingerbread) and it worked the first time - just as advertised.  Next up is to add an on/off power switch and button up the installation.  I can see my grandkids waiting in line to try this out!

Bob - you've done a super job on this. Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your efforts.

GRJohn - thank you also for your many inputs throughout the thread - it helped a lot in understanding how to set it up, including adding the switch.

Keep up the great work!

 

Jim
