Rocrail with Massoth 1200z

[UKSGR]

Having read the thread on Android devices as throttles, I downloaded the Rocrail program. After a bit of cursing and swearing I finally got the program to talk to the controller and move a loco. I have only tried manual control but at some point I'll try automatic and see what happens. The only problem with that is I think I need some sort of feed back sensor and as yet I don't have any. When I get a chance I'll put some details on here.

I'm looking forward to hearing how it goes, Paul.

So far, I've put the loco roster into the program and part of the track layout. I have programmed the point motors but at the moment I cannot find how to change the throw direction for them. In the end I changed the wiring on the point motor to get the throw direction required. I don't have a mouse for my laptop so I have to control things with the glide pad. It's a bit nerving with the throttle control.
I don't think this is something that I will use long term but it is interesting to see how it works.
