This is an exclusive goodie for supporters of the project, who have a valid Support Key installed. Without a key 5 demo minutes are available after connection.

Development of RocMini has been startet at 25.01.2025
- with Rocrail 2.1.5478+
- RocControl 25.01.25-1
Update 12.02.2025: examples added

The first intention was to have an emergency break button at the wrist. This was expanded to control one locomotive in manual mode walking besides the layout. Meanwhile almost any Rocrail object can be controlled by RocMini.
RocControl has embedded support for the Apple Watch.
An iPhone with RocControl is used to install RocMini on an Apple Watch with the iOS Watch App.
Minimal watchOS version is 10.6.

RocMini needs the Server Monitor HTTP service for sending commands to the Rocrail server.
RocMini can only communicate using HTTP requests and does not receive any changes from the Rocrail server.
