DriverD #9.b – Using WiTController to Control Our Trains with DCC-EX #ModelTrains #ModelRailroad

DriverD #9.b – Using WiTController to Control Our Trains with DCC-EX #ModelTrains #ModelRailroad Welcome to Driver D Trains. Thanks for stopping by! I’m your host Driver D. Our conductor and brakeman Scratchy-C, is back posting something new on GitHub. In my last video we looked at how to assemble a WiTController to use with DCC-EX or JMRI to control our trains. In this video we’ll look further at the features of the WiTController and how to use it to control trains and consists, operate turnouts, and set routes and on our layouts. Be sure to check below for links to my other videos, including my video series on assembling a DCC-EX command station, and my series on using JMRI’s DecoderPro app to control our trains, as well as the various websites and products I mention here.

We made it to the end of our list and delivered all our packages, so let’s tie down and call it a day. I’m sure they’ll have more deliveries waiting for us tomorrow. Until then… Thanks for watching!
