|
| |
|
| Non-Windows users may need to install additional drivers for their system to recognize the NCE USB Interface. You can find [https://ncedcc.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/200590919-USB-Driver-Download-and-Installation-Instructions- download and installation instructions] on the NCE webpage. USB drivers for the NCE Power Cab USB board can be downloaded from [https://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx Silicon Labs].

|
| ===PowerHouse Pro===
| |
| The NCE PowerHouse Pro has a RS-232 port. Connect that port to your computer by using any off-the-shelf USB to RS-232 cable. Once the PowerHouse Pro connected via USB, start a JMRI WiThrottle server and connect with your UWT-100.
| |
|
| |
| ===WifiTrax WFD-30===
| |
| The WFD-30 device from WifiTrax provides true WiFi control of your layout using and existing NCE DCC system. The WFD-30 is NCE CAB Bus-compatible and will work with any NCE Command Station (Power Pro, Smart Booster, Power Cab, etc). The unit acts as a WiThrottle server using the WiThrottle protocol, just like JMRI, with optional loco roster and turnout list.
| |
|
| |
| There is no need to install JMRI or other third-party WiThrottle protocol client - just connect the WFD-30 to your NCE system, power up your throttle, scan for WiFi, and connect to the WFD-30 device.
