In stock now.
US$79.00You can install this Wi-Fi/DCC Interface in many large scale locomotives together with your choice of suitable Sound or Non-Sound DCC Decoder. This module provides DCC signals to the decoder controlled by hand-held throttles supporting the Hoffman WiThrottle protocol as used by JMRI. Examples are WiThrottle on Apple IOS, Engine Driver on Android and the popular TCS UWT-100 Universal Wi-Fi Throttle. DC power can be supplied from a 12 volt battery. YOU DO NOT NEED TO INSTALL JMRI!

WDMI-27 Wi-Fi/DCC Locomotive Interface Module for Large Scale
This module replaces the WDMI-24 and can be installed within many large-scale model locomotives to provide Wi-Fi control of a DCC Decoder installed in the locomotive. It is compatible with NMRA compliant decoders.
An improvement over the WDMI-24 is that you can now drive the locomotive using the Engine Driver app by M. Steve Todd on Android phones or tablets, WiThrottle app by Brett Hoffman on Apple IOS iPhones or iPad and the new and popular TCS UWT-100 Universal Wi-Fi Throttle. You can also use the WifiTrax Loco Operator app. The module has also been subject to a redesign which means that it runs much cooler, has status LEDs and short protection.
The unit is intended for installation in battery powered locomotives with 10-18 Volt batteries.
Functions such as lighting and sound are all controllable from your hand-held device and custom function naming which provides labels for your chosen app or hand-held throttle Wi-Fi. In fact the capability is similar to our WFD-30 except that you only have one locomotive in which the WDMI-27 is installed. You can install these modules in as many locos as you like and each loco then appears as its own WiThrottle server.
The WDMI-27 provides Service Mode and Opertational Mode CV programming capability via Wi-Fi using a Web Page. Locomotives installed with this unit do not need to be placed on a programming track.
