The DCC05 Prodigy WiFi receiver gives Android and iOS users the option to operate their Prodigy system with a smartphone or tablet. This means you have greater flexibility to control your layout, both alone and with multiple controllers.
To install, simply connect the Prodigy WiFi into the controller or cab socket on your Prodigy base unit - you can do this with the lead provided, or with any Prodigy handset cable.
Once you have installed the Prodigy WiFi, open your device's WiFi settings and connect it to the relevant network.
The Prodigy WiFi is compatible with the JMRI Engine Driver (Android) and WiThrottle (iOS) apps. Versions of both apps are free to download, so you can download the relevant app before-hand to take a look at how it works.
The Apps are for operating the layout and accessories but do not allow reading or programming, so keep your original handset safe. You can also use your handset and WiFi devices together, simply remember to set the Cab number higher than your last handset number.
Information and support on each of the apps can be found on the app itself, or on their websites.
