About Train Driver
The focus is on a mobile locomotive controller and is therefore currently limited to only control locomotives. For this purpose, up to 3 locomotives are supported at the same time. At the iPad in landscape format all 3 locomotives are displayed in one screen and can be controlled easily together. At the iPhone controllers can be switched easily, but only one controller is displayed.
Following protocols are supported:
- SRCP including MFX extension
- Z21 from Fleischmann / Roco
- WiThrottle as used e.g. in JMRI or DCC++EX
- DCC++EX
In order to control a locomotive, the app must be connected to a control center. A small red point flashes at the bottom right of the symbol. Now the locomotive can be set. Again a small red point flashes at the bottom right of the symbol.
Now you can start and operate the locomotive using the function buttons or the speed slider.

WORKS WITH DCC-EX when other apps don't
Train Driver is NOT even recommended as a throttle in DCC-EX website. After hours of configuring DCC-EX I finally had to download throttle for my iphone 7. After downloaded recommended throttle I found Train Driver. This was easy to configure and worked within minutes. Just remember use the defaulted port 2560. As far as configuring the DCC-EX, one must NOT assign a static ip to DCC-EX COMMAND station. Just comment out the static ip by putting // before the ip. You still must put in wifi user and password. I rate this program 5 . YOU SHOULD CHARGE FOR THIS APP. Great job.
