Huwsie Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I'm currently using a Hornby Elite controller, but I wish to change / upgrade to a wireless controller to be able to walk around the layout better. I tried a longer lead on the Elite, but it just doesn't work out.Does anyone have any advice / experiences on wireless controllers? I'm anticipating that as Hornby don't male a wireless controller, naming a competetor system that does won't be against the forum rules.Thanks in advance.

Yelrow Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I solved this with a Select controller, as walkabout, and 5 metre cable. There is nowhere now i cant reach. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzler down under Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 If you have a spare lap top why not jump on the £5 railmaster from hattons then you can link ups few tablets or phones. That's what I'm gonna do when I work out how to sync up the pc to the tabs, not having much luck though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huwsie Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 I just want to stay away from PC's Tablets / Phones. "when I work out how to" sums up exactly why! I'm on my way to the USA actually, so I'll see what's available over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Dazza, go to the top locked thread in the RM forum and from there to AC's excellent separate site where all the good gen for setting up fixed IP addresses to connect your phone and tablet can be found. Huwsie, your problem is Hornby do make wireless controllers as described by Dazza, and they work reliably once set up. Cost is also minimal, starting with £5 for RM if you don't already have it, then similar for each wireless licence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choralc Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I was impressed that my iPad could be used as a remote controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
