The Mobile Control Pro app version 2.1.0 is now available for the Android-based handheld controller.
This version not only fixes several bugs but also significantly enhances its compatibility with the Z21 central unit: It is now possible to export existing layouts from the Z21 app and import them directly into the Mobile Control Pro handheld controller. This eliminates the need to enter data multiple times. All locomotives and accessories are transferred. Locomotive images are also copied, scaled, and displayed correctly.
Database management on the Mobile Control Pro has been improved: You can now create, modify, or delete multiple databases. This is perfect for using the handheld controller on multiple layouts (e.g., at home or at your club).
Copying data from the Z21 app to the Mobile Control Pro handheld controller is explained in detail in a Tips & Tricks article.
The update itself can be installed on your Mobile Control Pro (and of course on the older Mobile Control II models) in several ways:
If the handheld controller is connected to your home Wi-Fi network, the app will search for and display the new version when it starts. You can also start the update directly within the app.
If you have a relatively old version of the app installed, please use the Mobile Control II Update Tool, which you can install and run on your Windows PC.
This update makes the ESU Mobile Control Pro handheld controller even more valuable, especially in environments where multiple digital command stations are used.
