How to connect DCC++ EX to WiFi and use Engine Driver to run your trains

This is a short tutorial on how to wirelessly connect DCC++ EX via WiFi to Engine Driver. We demonstrate using a Makerfabs (or similar) ESP8266 WiFi Shield.

(do a search for this shield, it is available from many sources)

We also show the Duinopeak board that takes an ESP-01 board. You can search for "esp-01 shield". Ali-Express and Banggood has them. You may be able to email the manufacturer at duinopeak.com

Other shields may work, the criterion is that it has an AT Command set built-in to the firmware, has a 5V to 3.3V regulator on board, and level shifters for the Tx and Rx pins to convert the 5V Arduino pin logic voltage to the 3.3V of the ESP8266 and back. If you use just an ESP-01, 01S, ESP-12 board, you can easily use just 4 jumpers to wire it directly. We will cover that in a future video
