RMweb Premium melmerby Posted July 15, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 15, 2016 I'm looking for a an Android App in English to work with Digikeijs DR5000 Any recommendations please. Have a look at JMRI http://jmri.sourceforge.net/ There's this app for it which is for an Android phone: http://enginedriver.rrclubs.org/ How you getting on with the DR5000? I've got one but it isn't in use yet, just been trying out some of the functions. Cheers Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgman Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I'm looking for a an Android App in English to work with Digikeijs DR5000 Any recommendations please. I'm not aware of any apps but it might be worth giving James, the owner of Dccautomation a telephone call as he stocks Digikeijs items and is very knowledgable.

I'm pretty sure that can't be true - maybe the only apps for it are in Dutch or German but I hope not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DR5000 is not a computer automation device as in e.g. TrainController, RocRail etc. It doesn't have much in the way of train control on it's own. It's just a fancy DCC command station. Can't you control it with PanelPro as an Expressnet device? Cheers Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Keith Hi Keith The DR5000 has built in wifi and will communicate with a mobile phone app. I'm seeking a suitable mobile phone app like Engine Driver but one that will communicate with the DR5000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip37216 Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Sorry but James does stock Digikeijs so it is true, just trying to be helpful I am aware that James stocks Digikeijs but I was saying that I don't think it is true that the are no apps. I'm sure you are trying to be helpful but do you know of any Android apps compatible with the DR5000 software? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip37216 Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 OK I have a reply from Digikeijs in Holland (good service) RocRail RC-CAB for android and although not free is available for a 10 euro donation. So I'll give this a try and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip37216 Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Hello, is there any update on the RocRail RC-Cab???? Hello Johnsy OK I have the app but can't get it to sync with the DR5000 WiFi. The initial setup for RC-cab is asking for a Host (which looks like an IP address), a port and Bus none of which I am sure of but I can seperately get my tablet to sync with the WiFi so I know it's working OK. I have asked Digikeijs for support but I guess they may be on holiday. Also, I can't get the Digikeijs software to communicate with the DR5000 - I just get a 5 sec timeout whatever I try. But the good news is both Lenz and Digitrax throttles work together with the DR5000. Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip37216 Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 After an initial delay I now have the Rocrail RC-cab app working with the DR5000. The delay was probably all down to my lack of understanding. But now I have the DR5000 being used with Lenz, Roco and Digitrax throttles and am able to use Android devices as wireless throttles. Amazingly good value for money at 150 euro which includes a 3.5 amp power supply. With this amount of flexibility I'm thinking again of a garden railway with the DCC being delivered by the DR5000 Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
