Don't ask me why id didn't work earlier today.Īnother little bug - which could be expensive - is the stop button on the app.
SCARM TO ROCRAIL UPDATE
I am sure we see some updates of this software in the near future.īy the way - after some time my android phone did see the ipad- so the direct update of a database from one device to another is possible.

What was worse was that one of the two locos changed address. The consist stayed on also when I drove a single loco. Should be easy with the Z21, but this is obviously where the bugs start. After some first steps I tried to build a consist - worked ok, until I tried to get back to normal. Programming is easier, especially as some CVs contain explanations.
SCARM TO ROCRAIL DOWNLOAD
I normally do not have the router connected to my home Wi-Fi, so when you want to download something fron the roco database you have to change the Wi-Fi over to one with internet access. What is annoying is the network connection. You get all functions right and also some data filled in. Well - if the loco is in the database (means it must be a Roco or Fleischmann loco) programming is absolutely automatic.

Lets hope it gets a bit better described in the near future. I still like that there is something moving, and new versions are created. Hope you do not consider everything I wrote as moaning - but it is not that user friendly as said in the video. You get all your function keys set in a flash.Īs it looks there is currently no new software version for the I-pod. It still makes sense if you think of a more complicated (popular) loco with sound. Buy yourself an OBB 1141 and you can do it yourself.įor the more popular locos - yes the article number is the key. Well - what do we learn? Buy yourself a popular loco, then everything is available. Took me some time to say - bother they are repeating the same loco again and again. Lovely, my loco is not in the database, and the database searches "in circles - means when you at the end it starts with the beginning. I start creating a new loco, and I scroll through their database. I checked the article number as I thought this might be the search key - well it is correct as far as I can see. I put in a new Roco loco (Well - new - I don't know for how long it was waiting for a customer on the shelves of A&H models) and the system doesn't find anything.

Looking into the database story: It is not clear what is the search key to get info and a loco picture from their database. As model railway is a subject also (or mainly) used by the rather settled or experienced generation - not to say by older people - this is a disadvantage.
SCARM TO ROCRAIL UPGRADE
But this is not what I expected - the easy upgrade from one device to another needs to be found.Īs a general impression I can say that the display of the new app is darker than it was. May be not then.Ī bit later I uploaded the old data also to the android phone. Well 2 of them are next to me on the table. Now the easy way to move it to the other devices: tried the export function, no device found. I can email the old data to myself, and then open with the new z21 app. So leave the phone aside and go for the I-pad. And I shouldn't have a language problem as the guy explaining the new app in the German video is an Austrian (and so am I).Ĭouldn't find a possibility to get the data over into the android app. Well - not that easy as shown in the videos.
