I would like to know if i can add a WiFi shield so i can access from my phone/tablet.

I want to try using controller ide using apde app.

Thanks,

Erich

I found this project which use an ESP8266 as an access point to connect the WiThrottle iPhone app https://github.com/vhar/withrottle

Do you know this project and other projects like this one ?

Thanks, Dom

This integrates the ESP8266 with the base station but doesn't have WiThrottle support (you can connect JMRI to the base station wirelessly and use it's built in WiThrottle server though)

Thanks Atanisoft, I am looking for the support of WiThrottle (iOs) and EngineDriver (Android) directly to DCC++ without JMRI. I will see also your DCCppESP32 project (https://github.com/atanisoft/DCCppESP32) but I would like first to learn with 3 basic circuits : ESP8266 (ESP-01 or 02) supporting the webserver and converter between the WiThrottle and DCC++ interfaces , Nano for supporting DCC++ and L298 power for the tracks.

That may work but it doesn't have ESP support so you would need to sort that part out.

For the Nano you can look at https://github.com/skyne/BaseStation

Is there a way to use JMRI on an android?

I am looking on the JMRI web site now

https://github.com/vhar/withrottle This one seems to do what I expect. Do you know it ?

Thanks Dom

that looks like it would work on the ESP side to connect to an AP and translate the WiThrottle commands to DCC++ commands that you would need to feed back to the arduino side.
