Now that I got everyone's attention....here is my unbelievable news. I purchased a new DCS Wi-Fi interface unit and I read the directions and read the MTH directions online. I first followed the online website directions and upgraded the firmware. I then followed both the written on online instructions and......everything works just as it should. I thought I would write something good about this little device and how everything worked soo well.
Now I am using an old TIU that I run my Standard Gauge on upstairs and I did already do the 5.0 update months ago so I was ready. I do have some thoughts on this.
My old DB9 to USB adaptor cable which Windows10 deemed not working due to software changes on the computer works perfect to link the TIU to the Wi-Fi. This was the older RadioShack unit that worked just fine until the Windows updates came out so if someone has one of these you may not have to purchase a new adaptor cable. The Android and iOS software works great and for $5 each was worth it. Now I am hoping for MTH to come out soon with the version that controls track power since I sometimes run conventional units on the upstairs layout. Both programs respond well and I like the graphics.
Next will be taking this Wi-Fi with me to a show when Steve Eastman runs his Standard Gauge to see how well it runs. Should be a good talking tool to recruit members for our clubs.
