Welcome to Driver D trains. Thanks for stopping by! I’m your host Driver D.
Our conductor and brakeman Scratchy-C is… currently involved in a work stoppage.

In my last video, I showed you how to add a Wi-Fi shield to your DCC-EX command station, and use the WiThrottle app on your phone or tablet to run some trains. If you haven’t already seen that video, be sure to check it out!

In this companion video, I’ll show you how to configure DCC-EX to connect the Wi-Fi shield to your home Wi-Fi network, as well as how add an automation in DCC-EX to turn on your track power when the command station boots.
Both of these videos are part of a series on how to assemble and configure a DCC-EX Command Station to control your trains.
