About blueRailways

BlueRailways is an Android App that connects wirelessly to the Model 601/2 DC Analogue Model Railway Controller or to the Model 522 Wireless Receiver from blueRailways.
It includes a SIMULATOR so the App can be evaluated without requiring a Controller.

Model 601/2 Features:
- Monitors loco speed and other parameters when the controller is operating in Local Mode.
- Enables control of loco speed using the on-screen rotatable knob or by tilting when the controller is in Remote Mode.
- Enables locomotive control variables (CV's) to be sent to the controller for Start Speed, Acceleration, Deceleration and Maximum Speed even when the loco is running.
- Records Requested speed, Actual speed, loco current, back-emf, supply voltage, temperature and RSSI and displays the values in graphical format in real-time.
- Enables auto control of the loco by plotting Requested Speed against Time with a Looping option.
- Enables selecting loco by name and photo.

Model 522 Features:
- Enables control of two track outputs simultaneously.
- Enables locomotive control variables (CV's) to be sent to the controller for Start Speed, Acceleration, Deceleration and Maximum Speed even when the loco is running.

The Model 601/2 Controller and Model 522 Wireless Receiver are for Analog DC systems and will not operate with DCC.
