Is the consensus that we are getting a re-design not a reissue?
-
I just use the Microsoft RDP app on an iPad, works really well

Hi Tom, the latest version of nControl works really well. I've got a dedicated intel atom pc to run nControl and run a remote desktop to it from an iPad so I can walk round with it and change the switches by tapping them on the iPad.
-
Hi Tom, sounds excellent, I'll give the latest nControl a try later and no need to worry about colour tiles. I'm happy to have the bits shipped from the US, if you send me an invoice I'll get the payment over to you. Thanks for all your hard work
-
Tom, would it be possible for nControl to assign colours to switches in the track layout and the associated tile so at a quick glance you could see what tile relates to what switch? Also I need to order 1 more controller and 2 more left turn servos. Are there any in Europe or will you need to ship from the US?
-
Was thinking about running ncontrol on a tablet and with a networked hub I wouldnt need any cables attached to it. Great news on the next version of ncontrol.
-
Tom, do you have any experience of networked USB hubs with your controllers?
-
I think it would be a good solution for nControl to remember the state of the switches when you close it as you can't change them without nControl anyway.
-
Tom, I'm really happy with the switch motors. A few improvements I think could be made nControl are: Being able to click on the switch on the track layout to operate it rather than just the tile. Remembering the state of the switch after closing and reopening the program otherwise what is shown on the track layout is wrong unless you operate all the switches Automatically connect to the controllers on opening the program Remembering the zoom and window sizes as I need to adjust everytime I open nControl Other than that it all works great

Just to update this thread that I received my 12 motors and 3 controllers yesterday and I've had a quick play and I am very impressed. The quality seems very nice and the software works well and is very flexible, I can see them really improving my railway - in particular I've got a few switches that I couldn't get to very easily and now I can. I'll give a more in depth review in a few days time.

I bought 3 of the Ghostbusters HQ when I was building a dark red train station - lots of useful pieces and the minifigs can be ebayed for almost half the cost of the set!
-
Amazing work
-
Any updates on availability?
-
Lovely detail and colour
-
Ordered!

I will definitely be buying 12 of these switch motors and control boxes when they're available. Would it be a possibility at some point for the computer program to control an sbrick or buwizz so it could stop and start them at the lights, speed up and down etc? I think the sbrick bluetooth commands are available.
