The slim controller

I have an old (2006) computer that doesn't really get used very much... In fact it's an old Mac Mini, that no longer gets updates, so really shouldn't be connected to the internet anymore. This Firefox stopped working on it too...

 

However it's otherwise fine and at some point had its memory increased to the maximum it can take, so should be O.K. for offline work...

 

As you know Lofty will be quite big and controlling it will be a Z21. I can use the provided apps to control it, using the Padule or phone. There is a small snag though: Screen size.... Even on the Padule, I don't think I could manage to fit the entire track plan on the screen in one go! So I'd need multiple pages, which it doesn't support (as yet, as I've managed to attach multiple background pictures to one layout, only one can be accessed for dropping points on).

 

Now Roco/Fleischmann have kindly provided the LAN protocol (in German) and as I no longer program on a daily basis, I think a little project might be in the offing....
