Programming 3rd Rail/TMCC into DCS WiFi

Fridge56VetOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

I have recently completed a ceiling layout that currently uses DCS WiFi as its control system. The few MTH PS3 engines I have programmed in w/out a problem. However, I would like to use my 3rd Rail PAs to pull a passenger train. I know that the DCS system can run TMCC engines, but I am having difficulty programing them into the system. I have set up the engine as outlined in the manual for TMCC programming, though a different set-up might be needed for DCS. It is the only engine on the track. When I power the track to program the engine it accelerates forward at top speed. This is disconcerting, as I'm not anxious to test my retaining safety wire system roughly 6.5' in the air.

I do plan to wire my Legacy unit in shortly, and I know how to program it w/the CAB-2, but it would be easier if I could just use my phone & the app to run the train. Any advice, tips, suggestions, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
