DWiC (Direct WiFi Control) of Model Railways

What is DWiC...

•  The basic concept of DWiC involves the direct control of locomotives and layouts using WiFi technology. WiFi is well established and WiFi devices are cheaply available in the consumer market.

•  The method of control is via a web page interface. The page is stored within the item controlled and so can be customised for that item.

•  This web page is loaded and displayed by the operator application which in turn can modify the locomotive or layout controllers operation by pressing buttons on that web page.

•  The system can run on existing layouts that are DC or DCC powered.

•  The DWiC content on this page has been placed in the public domain for all to use.
