EX-Toolbox - Overview

EX‑Toolbox is a free, open source, Android app to help setup and configure your EX‑CommandStation. It is intended for setup, configuration, debugging your EX-CommandStation 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. However:

• While it can't normally connect to a EX‑CommandStation through JMRI, it is possible if you 'Load DCC++ over TCP Server' in the 'DCC-EX' menu in JMRI, then connect EX‑Toolbox to the additional server that is presented.

• As of version 0.1.35, it can also connect directly from an Android device to your EX‑CommandStation through a USB cable.

• There are additional options to connect to an EX‑CommandStation though USB via a PC. See Connecting via USB for details.

• While EX‑Toolbox normally needs to be installed on your phone or tablet, it may be installed on Windows PC under a suitable Android emulator. Refer to the Installation Guide
