Disclaimers

  • Train Throttle is not associated with or endorsed by JMRI, the WiThrottle app, or the WiThrottle protocol.
  • Train Throttle is an app that controls trains wirelessly: Wifi can fail, apps can have bugs. Please take appropriate caution while using Train Throttle, to prevent damage to your models.

Shuttle Operation

JMRI Notes:

  • JMRI notes can be found here.

LnWi notes:

  • During testing, it has been observed that the LnWi does not always connect fully. This is more pronounced when devices are connecting and disconnecting rapidly (such as during testing). Train Throttle will automatically disconnect when the display turns off. To prevent the app from disconnecting frequently, don’t swipe out of the app or turn the screen off.

    On iOS and Windows, to prevent the screen from turning off automatically, go to the app settings and select “Prevent display sleep”. Note: This option is not available for macOS.

CS-105/LCC notes:

  • To enable LCC command stations in JMRI, in addition to connecting the CS-105 under connections, make sure you select “Enable LCC Hub” from the LCC menu in the menubar.
  • If the train doesn’t run, make sure that the e-stop wasn’t enabled via a UWT throttle, and if it was, disable e-stop via the UWT throttle. As of JMRI 5.2, I have no idea how to disable it via the WiThrottle protocol once it is set.
  • The track power cannot be controlled via JMRI.
