The Mobile Control Pro is ESU's latest answer to the question of how to combine the advantages of smartphone technology with the needs of model railway control. The Mobile Control Pro is essentially a compact Android-based tablet equipped with controls for controlling your locomotives and accessories. The connection to the digital command station is established exclusively wirelessly via Wi-Fi. A specially designed app by ESU can communicate directly with a variety of digital command stations. The Mobile Control Pro is therefore not limited to use with ESU command stations.

Open Platform

Based on Android 10, the Mobile Control Pro is just as easy to use as you would expect from your smartphone or tablet. With the help of a high-resolution color touchscreen, the operating system ensures standardized, intuitive operation. The Mobile Control Pro is equipped with a powerful quad-core ARM processor with a large memory that can store a large number of apps. The built-in radio module supports common Wi-Fi standards in the 2.4 GHz range as well as the well-known Bluetooth standards. Thanks to the standardized radio interface, trouble-free operation of your model railway layout is guaranteed at all times. With the help of Wi-Fi repeaters, the radio range can be easily extended if necessary.

The built-in lithium polymer battery – which is easily replaceable if necessary – lasts for about five to six hours of operation. The Mobile Control Pro charges via its built-in USB-C port. Any USB-C cable can be used for charging such as a USB port in a wall outlet, USB charging adapter, or USB port on a computer.

Using the pre-installed Aurora app store, you can install additional Android apps at any time. A Google account is not required.

Ergonomics

When you hold the Mobile Control Pro in your hands for the first time, you will immediately notice its excellent ergonomics. All controls are within easy reach with one hand, and the most important functions can even be accessed "blindly," allowing you to keep your eyes on your layout and your trains. This is made possible by the central, motor-controlled rotary control with end stop. With it, you can precisely adjust the locomotive's speed and change the direction of travel. Programmable buttons (two on the left and two on the right sides) on the device are provided for various functionality. These can be used as an alternative to the touchscreen. A highlight is the "slider" installed on the right side for use as a “brake”: Using this analog control element, you can now precisely stop your locomotives equipped with LokSound 5 decoders, thus controlling them even more realistically.

ESU

The Mobile Control Pro is perfectly coordinated with ECoS and CabControl digital command stations. The command station synchronizes all data with the wireless handheld controller, so you don't have to enter any data locally. The names, addresses, and correct symbols for accessories and routes are also displayed. All information you enter in the ESU command station is automatically transferred and synchronized. Up to 16 Mobile Control Pro devices can be operated.

WiThrottle™

That's not all! The Mobile Control Pro app also connects to all digital command stations that have implemented a WiThrottle™ server. This means you can use the Mobile Control Pro with a Uhlenbrock Intellibox Neo, a Digitrax® command station with an LNWI module, or an NCE command station with a WifiTrax WLAN adapter. MRC / Gaugemaster command stations with a WiFi adapter or YaMoRC® are also included. Depending on the functionality of the WiThrottle™ server in the aforementioned command stations, the locomotive fleet can either be used directly or locomotives can be created manually in the Mobile Control Pro.

Z21®

The Mobile Control Pro can also connect directly to ROCO's Z21® command stations. However, all locomotives must be created and managed locally on the Mobile Control Pro. Unfortunately, the Z21® does not have a centrally managed locomotive database.

Märklin® Central Station 3®

Owners of a Märklin® Central Station 3® can also use the Mobile Control Pro. The app can directly access the entire locomotive inventory of the central station and displays the locomotive icons and images just as they appear on the central station.

Controlling Locomotives

The Mobile Control Pro can, of course, be used to control locomotives. Depending on the capabilities of the DCC command station connected, all relevant data is retrieved and used from the command station central station where possible. All essential locomotive properties such as the locomotive name, locomotive symbol, function key assignment, and function key symbols can be displayed and changed as needed. Up to 31 function keys can be activated per locomotive, which can be individually configured as latching or momentary functions.

Switching Solenoid Accessories

Switching solenoid accessories is also possible – depending on the command station. When operating with an ECoS command station, all solenoid accessories and routes located on the interlocking system can be switched. Naturally, the distinction between two, three, and four aspect solenoid accessories is fully maintained, and the correct symbol is displayed on the screen.

Smart Connection

The Mobile Control Pro uses the Wi-Fi standard to communicate with the command station. Therefore, you must connect the command station to a Wi-Fi network. If you already have a Wi-Fi router (e.g., AVM® FritzBox®), you can easily connect the ECoS command station to it. If you don't want to connect your model railway to your home network or you want to remain flexible for exhibitions, this is also no problem, upon request, we can supply a mini access point for the Mobile Control Pro, which can be easily set up in just a few steps using the ECoS. Other command stations, such as the ESU CabControl or the Intellibox Neo, already have a Wi-Fi connection built in; in this case, you can connect the handheld controller directly to the Wi-Fi network provided by these command stations.

Future-proof

ESU is constantly developing the Mobile Control Pro app. New app versions can either be transferred to the handheld controller using your Windows® computer or are installed automatically, provided the Mobile Control Pro has an internet connection.

Great Value
I'm always looking for a deal on hand and body soap. For the price and what you get they're great. A couple of them aren't my favorite smells, but then again, that's the trade off I made.

"Bowser, those Chinese never did stand a chance." - Marine general O.P. Smith
Format: Hardcover
The signs was already there. To anyone that bothered to look. But prejudice and victory fever had blinded the top brass to what was unfolding on the ground. Luckily for the men on the ground, there was one top brass that saw the signs, and acted on it. That was the overall situation for the men of the 1st Marine division and the 7th Army division in November 1950. While McArthur and his entourage were busying themselves with the planning of victory parades in Tokyo and promoting a 'Home by Christmas' atmosphere to the press, general O. P. Smith was already laying the ground work for what would determine the outcome of the Chosin reservoir campaign. In the surrounding snow covered hills and mountains, a vast number of Chinese soldiers from the 9th Army was being rushed into position to spring the trap that McArthur and Almond was walking into. What followed was a series of battles that was almost as brutal as the weather. I say almost, because the biggest killer of Chinese troops, wasn't American bombs and bullets, but the winter. One of the coldest in Korean history. Accompanied by the howling wind sweeping down from Manchuria and Siberia. Both sides made their share of mistakes. McArthur, for rejecting any intel showing that Chinese troopes were in Korea. General Song Shilun, who's troops had been told American soldiers were 'paper tigers'. As such, the PLA, anticipating a quick and easy victory, withheld winter cloths and issued only 2-3 days worth of rations while ordering their troops to make a 60 mile forced march from the border, across snow covered forests and mountains, to the reservoir. When the order to attack came, the troops were already in the early stages of starvation. Not only did the Marines held their ground, they annihilated the Chinese units. To make matters worse, their primitive means of communication made it impossible to coordinate their attacks. While as the Marines, despite being surrounded, was able to grind the Chinese units down through a combination of Marine Air Wing, combined arms and gung ho spirit. That, and general Smiths precautions allowd both the Marines and the Army units to fight their way out of a calamity caused by the prejudicial ignorance of McArthur and Almond.

Chilling History
Format: Hardcover
The police action in Korea began to heat up very quickly, as Chinese troops began to pour over the border, and take up defensive positions. The Marines that were deployed to the area had their hands full, trying to keep even more troops from crossing, while also defending the surrounding area. The horrific weather conditions, without the proper gear, and the determination of the Marines to refuse to give ground gave way to a very volatile situation. With temperatures continuing to plumate, the biggest enemy on either side was not munitions, it was frostbite and death. Many soldiers froze to death. Chinese soldiers were issued cold weather gear that was far below what was needed for the sub-zero temperatures of the region. Soldiers from the United States were not initially given the correct gear, although there was a push to get what was needed, but many still lost fingers and toes to frostbite. Medical units were also not fully prepared for the onslaught that was coming their way. Many found themselves overwhelmed with wounded, while low on supplies and materials. This was a great read, and a real eye-opener on the deprivations that were suffered by both sides during the beginning of the Korean War. Joseph Wheelan again brings a great amount of detail, both tactical and strategic, as we look at one of the more brutal aspects of the Korean War.
