"Universal" Wi-Fi Throttle, Part 4

Here is a short update on the TCS WiThrottle support. I've added support for Release/Dispatch. And also preliminary support for steal, which, I believe, applies only to Digitrax systems. I'd love to hear what you guys think about stealing a loco without asking. Is that a good idea?

Here is a video that shows more details about the WiThrottle integration as it stands today.

 

Digitrax Release vs Dispatch

I'm just curious how many of you use the Digitrax Dispatch feature. My understanding is somewhat limited regarding this feature. As far as I can tell, it seems to apply mostly to older throttles that only supports 2-digit addresses.

So, does anyone use this? Or do you mostly ignore it and use release?

"Universal" Wi-Fi Throttle, Part 2

I'd like to update people on where we're at with building the new throttles, and also get some input. Above is a rendering of a design for the "basic" throttle. More information in the next post.

"Universal" Wi-Fi Throttle

For about two years I've been working on a Wi-Fi throttle that will work with any JMRI system. I had a working throttle about a year ago, but got side tracked. I'm now back working on it and would like to get input from people. This is a project I'm doing by myself, and there is a model railroad manufacturer who is potentially interested in selling it for me. First of all, here is a rendering of the next generation (I'll post some photos of previous iterations below):
