DriverD #8.b – Configure DCC-EX, EX-CSB1 With EX-Installer!
Welcome to Driver D Trains. Thanks for stopping by! I’m your host Driver D.
Our conductor and brakeman Scratchy-C is busy walking the train.
[Meow!]
In my last video, I introduced you to the new DCC-EX, EX-CSB1 Express, the all-in-one plug-and-play command station and booster that DCC-EX announced in December 2024.
It this video we’ll look at how to configure the EX-CSB1 using the DCC-EX EX-Installer. Later we’ll look at how to use the Arduino IDE.
Be sure to check below for links to my other videos, including my video series on assembling a DCC-EX command station, and my series on using JMRI’s DecoderPro app to control our trains, as well as the various websites and products I mention here.

What’s next: Configure DCC-EX, EX-CSB1 With EX-Installer!
In my next video we’ll look at how to configure the EX-CSB1 using the Arduino IDE. This will allow us to not only use our own configuration files, but modify and customize the EX-CommandStation code.

The days are getting longer, and so are the trains. So stay alert, because you never know when the next one will be coming around the bend.
Until then…
Thanks for watching!
Well Scratchy, how does the train look?
