DriverD #9.d – Vibe Code a Throttle for DCC-EX! Welcome to Driver D Trains. Thanks for stopping by! I’m your host Driver D. Our conductor and brakeman Scratchy-C, is going on a summer holiday. In my last two videos we looked at how to assemble and configure two different versions of the WiTController to control our trains. In this video we’ll take a totally different approach, and spend an afternoon vibe coding a throttle for DCC-EX you can download from my GitHub page, that works on a Mac, Windows, a smart phone, or tablet. Be sure to check below for links to my other videos, including my video series on assembling a DCC-EX command station, and my series on using JMRI’s DecoderPro app to control our trains, as well as the various websites and products I mention here.

Traffic is light this time of year but we’ve still got freight to move, so let’s get started. Chapters: 00:00 Welcome to Driver D trains! 01:30 Vibe Code a Throttle for DCC-EX 02:21 Part 1.
