YouChoos Tweak and Drive PC Software

PC Software for managing Zimo decoders

Description

Let's face it, decoders (and especially sound decoders) are complex things with so many options that it can be difficult to understand how to change them to achieve what you want!

YouChoos has developed Tweak and Drive to help with this, providing easy-to-understand controls to tune every aspect of your Zimo decoder. In fact, it supports any DCC decoder, but has specific helps for Zimo.

Tweak and Drive runs on a PC computer with options to connect into a variety of DCC systems including SPROG, DigiKeijs DR5000, YAMORC YD7001, ESU ECOS, PIKO Smart, Roco Z21 and Lenz (via USB or Ethernet). LocoNet (via USB) is being actively developed (beta for this was in 1.26), Zimo MXULF-A (full support in 1.28) and Gaugemaster Prodigy (MRC) may follow in a future release. We even have packages which include Tweak and Drive PLUS either a SPROG or YD7001 - so you know you're getting a great combination!
