Configuring Engine Driver

Engine Driver is highly configurable.

Most configuration options are found in the Preferences which is accessed via the overflow menu which is normally three dots (⁞) or three bars (≡).

Some of the many Preferences include:

  • You can turn off the stop on release preference

  • You can set a Maximum value and Maximum change% for the throttle sliders

  • If the throttle slider is too small for your fingers, increase the size

  • You can set the initial web page for the full-size web panel, or enable the smaller web view on the Throttle Screen

  • There are also settings to help maximize the use of your device’s smaller screen by hiding items not relevant to you

Look around in Preferences, there are a huge number of settings to personalize Engine Driver, including many more if you enable Show Advanced Preferences preference.

Note

See the Preferences page for a full list of the available preferences.

The Functions buttons are changed via the Function Buttons menu option: Menu ‣ Functions Buttons

Some of the Function button preferences include:

  • You can set the default labels and function numbers to display.

  • If you have entered labels for a roster entry in JMRI, these labels will be used for that entry, and can be copied from the dialog (access the menu after selecting a loco).

  • You can remove buttons by blanking out the labels.

Note
