I need a bit of advice, I am new to JMRI, I have an NCE Powercab running about 12 loco’s DCC, I have downloaded both Decoder Pro and Panel Pro on my laptop successfully and installed the NCE USB Interface which has allowed me to control points thro’ Panel Pro. I have set up a roster of all my loco stock but ultimately I intend to go Wi throttle on an iPad but for now the slider on the laptop is fine. Where do I go from here, do I have to set up a programming track and download the decoder info for each loco into JMRI or what is the procedure to get loco’s moving from the laptop. Would appreciate any help or advice, sorry if I’m asking an obvious answer.

You don’t need anything in your roster to fun a loco from WiThrottle. ?You just enter the address as you would on the Powercab and run it. ?However, if a roster entry exists, WiThrottle will use it to annotate function buttons, but that’s all entirely optional. ?If you have the Powercab already connected to JMRI, start the WiThrottle server in JMRI, download and install WiThrottle, connect to the JMRI computer (note Conrad's recent firewall issues) and get running.

Thanks for your help, yes I’ve had some success today, seems to work fine. I’m only using the free version ?but will get the other shortly coz I can see shortcomings with the free one.

Is this true of Engine Driver? If so, Steve Todd’s Raspberry Pi image is great for clubs where members bring their personal equipment!
 

If you have an old Android phone/tablet (maybe a sibling/child does), you can run EngineDriver on it and it is free and does everything I want: routes, turnouts, throttles and web interface of JMRI to manage a panel.
