Can someone school me on what equipment that I need, besides a computer, to upgrade? I mean baby steps people!

Hi luvindemtrains

1, Who sold you the TIU?  If it was your local hobby shop, they should do this for free.

If you are going to it yourself, you will need these 3 cables.

Also check out this OGR Forum Tread, there are many threads on this topic. Do an OGR Forum Search.

Gary,

I appreciate you replying to my message. I will call the hobby shop I purchased it from but just in case, I now know what I will need to do it myself.

Barry, what does 6.1 do that 6.0 doesn’t? I’m a frequent user of the record/playback feature. I’ve been using my remote to date. I am one that needs to have someone else do the updates and I’d like to know it’s worthwhile before having all that fun as it was described earlier in this thread.

What is the purpose of doing a refresh?

If you don't need it, don't do it. It simply ensures that the layout is as the app expects it to be, with all the same TIUs, AIUs and engines that were previously present.

Be aware that the Android version will automatically do a refresh every time it riuns from the "Run My Trains" Welcome screen.

Thanks Barry.  For the time being, I will continue NOT doing a refresh until I change something on the layout.

What MTRH said it does. I don't know anything else. If I did, I'd tell you.

I use the super mode. If I record a session using the remotes,can I play it back using the Wi-Fi? I thought once you hit the play button, the tiu took over so to speak. Of course, I haven’t played back the latest session I recorded and I assume it will work using the remote. I assume this is just a Wi-Fi thing? Is this correct? I know what can happen when one assumes!

Billy, I am local and might want an upgrade. Please hit my email.

While I haven't attempted this, I would expect that it should work. The work is all done by the TIU. The app or the remote just triggers the playback.

Barry, I tried it and it didn’t work. Bummer! Now I have to wonder what else is missing from the system capabilities. I think I’ll wait a while before upgrading to 6.1 to see if there are any bugs in the upgrade or other missing things addressed. Bottom line here is hang on to your remotes!
