ProMiniAir Transmitter Compatible with Airwire, Tam Valley Depot, Stanton Cab

Description: If you have any questions, please contact me. I'd love to answer your questions: I want happy, satisfied Model Railroading Friends, not anonymous customers. I guarantee compatibility with the other products listed below, and I'll return your money if you are not satisfied. System: Stand-alone ProMiniAir(TM) Transmitter (PMA Tx) integrated with a WiFi-equipped EX-CommandStation: nothing else is needed to transmit! Just put it down in a convenient/central location, plug in the USB cable+USB converter we provide into "wall" power, and use your smartphone throttle app (multiple smartphones are OK) to connect to your dead-rail locomotives! You can also connect your computer via the USB port to provide computer-based (e.g., JMRI) Dead Rail locomotive and layout control. We also sell a version of the ProMiniAir transmitter that connects to any DCC throttle to wirelessly transmit the throttle's DCC commands to a compatible receiver (see list below). See the separate eBay listing for the ProMiniAir Receiver. Transmits in the 902-928MHz North American ISM band or the 869MHz European ISM band. These bands are standard Dead-Rail bands, including CVP Airwire900, Tam Valley Depot DRS1, Stanton Cab, and Gwire products. Nineteen channels are available: Airwire 0-16, Stanton Cab on Channel 17, and European operation on Channel 18. We paid the manufacturer for both FCC and EC certification of the RF module (Ebyte E07-900M10S) used for both the PMA transmitter and receiver Two OLED displays provide CommandStation and Transmitter information.The included USB cable and USB converter provide power.In addition to using WiFi-connected smartphone throttle apps, you can use the USB cable we provide to connect to a computer to use computer-based throttle apps and perform Service Mode Programming. Requirements: A compatible receiver: ProMiniAir receiver (see separate eBay listing) CVP Airwire receivers: G-3, G-4, CONVRTR 15/25/60Tam Valley Depot DRS1 receivers Stanton Cab receivers Gwire receivers NCE D13DRJ wireless decoder Why Choose Compatible with multiple other dead-rail transmitters and receivers: CVP AirwireTam Valley Depot Stanton Cab GwireOur own ProMiniAir products! Inexpensive PMA Tx: $49.99: price includes a protective container, USB cable, and USB converter Airwire Transmitter such as the T6000 cost 3 to 4 times more Less susceptible to supply chain disruptions by using commodity components Modular: Uses a commodity ESP32 MCU board to host the DCC throttle software from open source project DCC-EX and a commodity ESP-01S WiFi transceiver PCB U.FL connector on the transmitter offers numerous antenna options Whip antenna (provided): simple and practical, or use more "classical" compact RP-SMA antennas. Provides centralized or localized handheld dead-rail control: other solutions only offer localized handheld transmitter control: a severe limitation. Uses an FCC/EC-approved transmitter/receiver: The range performance of the ProMiniAir significantly exceeds the Tam Valley Depot DRS1 transmitters: open-air performance up to approximately 250 ft with default power settings. North American or European operation DCC-based: preserves your investment in DCC decoders (connects to PMA receiver) and throttles (connects to PMA transmitter). Let's face it, DCC decoders are standardized and produce beautiful sounds, flexible light effects, superb motor control, etc. Other proprietary locomotive control solutions "vendor-lock" you into a single solution that may leave you stranded if the vendor goes out of business. About that name: We based the "ProMini" part of the name on Sparkfun's "Pro Mini" MCU we used in the past as part of our modular design philosophy. Documentation: We hope the ProMiniAir is simple to use. Should you need it, we provide a detailed user manual.Several critical points: We provide the ProMiniAir transmitter integrated with a WiFi-equipped DCC EX-CommandStation that allows you to use your smartphone throttle app (WiThrottle, Locontrol, etc.) or the beautifully-designed TCS UWT-50 or UWT-100. The EX-Command Station is an excellent open-source DCC command station in its own right. Most other Dead-Rail solutions provide localized control using handheld throttles or smartphones, and this approach does not scale well for larger or complex layouts better managed by centralized control. "Classical" DCC throttles solve these problems well. The ProMiniAir transmitter connects (see separate listing!) to these well-designed throttles to control numerous dead-rail locomotives by simply replacing track DCC with wireless DCC. Numerous Dead-Rail systems are not interoperable with other vendors' products. We strive to provide as much interoperability as possible with other vendors in the 869MHz (for Europe) and 915MHz (for North America) ISM bands. It's an "island of compatibility" in Dead-Rail, and the rest is a "tower of Babel" vendor lock.As of July 2022, Tam Valley Depot no longer sells its DRS1 series dead-rail products. Our ProMiniAir(TM) receiver and transmitter are complete and fully-compatible replacements for Tam Valley Depot's DRS1 transmitters and receivers. Your Tam Valley transmitters and receivers will work with the ProMiniAir products. The ProMiniAir transmitters and receivers are compatible with CVP Airwire and Stanton Cab dead-rail products.
