Fully Wireless DCC? DCC Concepts ESP Ψ Aegis - Unboxing and Review

first, would love for you to do a track layout video of your setup

Hi Jenny, just noticed your switch/point levers, they look really cool !

how u doing?- Jennifer!you did incredible unboxing, sleep well. 🤘

Does it work with another control system? Mine is the ANEMODEL LD101 rather than the NCE Powercab. It has identical connections, but would it work on the Aegis?

Aegis also a name for Lockheed_Martin naval weapons systems

Thanks for the rundown! I don’t use an NCE, but do use ESP for changing the points on our club N Gauge layout!
Wonder how much range you get with the handset?

Something that’s been available for a while with alternative DCC systems like the ROCO Z21. Granted this is as you say for those that already use a power cab etc.

That curly cord between the controller and blue esp thing is that like the antenna to make it wire free ?

.thank you for all your unboxing reviews . I have watch many of them and found them really helpful .
I have been put off of getting the dcc concepts esp because of wiring it up but listening to you has helped me. I am going to order one today and tell them it was because of your review many thanks for all your help please keep the reviews going

Hi Jenny, as an alternative I use JMRI on a computer with WIThrotle on my iPad which is totally wireless Other than the locket connecter from my digitrax controller to the computer which cost about £50 the other programme were completely free

Not a modeller myself but looks to be a useful piece of kit

This all sounds very complicated. If I try DCC it's definitely going to be via hm7000. I see why this new interface from Hornby is such a game changer

Does it have any advantages over a Digitrax radio-controlled system?

Great video thanks Jenny 👍

Interesting video Jenny but am afraid you lost me after a few minutes........ I looked at the TMC link for the ESP Ψ Aegis and saw the price was over £400.00.....

Really enjoy your videos though!

Interesting web cast , just to correct a statement there are numerous systems in which the NCE powercab can be used with a WiFi module to run your layout using an iPad, iPhone or android phone. I use The NCE powercab with WiFi Trax WiFi module , using WiFi throttle or engine driver which can be loaded on your phone or iPad. This is more versatile as you can roam without any attachments to your body , and as it fits in the hand more user friendly that the NCE throttle . Full function of your trains accessories and considerably cheaper.

I’m going down the HMDCC/HM7000 route with HM6010 for accessories. Happy with that on an iPad

Love your layout 😊

Brilliant video Jenny

Got one of these aegis systems yesterday. Everything went well until it came to pairing the transmitter. I tried numerous times following the handbook and your video, but every time I pressed the pairing button on the base unit all the other led's turned yellow with flashing green on the pair/transmitter leds but nothing else happened. I started an email to dcc concepts asking for help but just before I hit send I thought I'd try one more time (just before midnight) and it worked! What a relief and yes today set it up again and it's still going.
