EX-Toolbox

EX-Toolbox - Overview

Propeller Beanie Engineer Hat

EX‑Toolbox is a free, open source, Android app to help setup and configure your EX‑CommandStation. It is intended for setup, configuration, debugging and monitoring your Command Station rather than continuous use.

It is designed to function if your EX‑CommandStation is configured with WiFi (either Access Point mode or Station mode) or Ethernet. It can connect to a EX‑CommandStation though JMRI, but only if the Load DCC++ over TCP Server option is enabled.

It can’t normally connect to a EX‑CommandStation though USB, however there some options that can allow this to work partly. See Connecting via USB for details.
