Title: EZ-Command
Post by: Cody J on February 28, 2010, 03:53:35 PM
I saw somewhere (I don't know where) but somebody had hooked there model layout up to a computer and controlled it by that. (sort of like the dispatcher diagram with ATCS). I don't have any intention in doing this but it has been on my mind lately... Is ther anyway to connect EZ-Command to a computer and have a diagram of your layout on screen and have it be like ATCS? Sorry if that doesn't make sense, I was having trouble finding the right words to use.

The EZ Command does not have a couputer connection. It is a very basic system.

It is possible, but it would take a great deal of knowledge of wiring and software to do it - it would be easier to skip the E-Z Command all together, and just have the computer generate the DCC signal, and feed it into a power booster.

No, you'd have to do some pretty heavy duty work to use your E-Z Command in conjunction with your computer. You would need to make your on software and electrical components.
