* 128-step speed throttling
* 28 or 128-step speed throttling
* Activate/de-activate all accessory function addresses 0-2048
* Control of all cab functions F0-F28
* Control of all cab functions F0-F28 and F29-F68
* Main Track: Write configuration variable bytes and set/clear specific configuration variable (CV) bits (aka Programming on Main or POM)
* Programming Track: Same as the main track with the addition of reading configuration variable bytes
* And manu more custom features. see [What's new in CommandStation-EX?]#whats-new-in-commandstation-ex

* WiThrottle server built in. Connect Engine Driver or WiThrottle clients directly to your Command Station (or through JMRI as before)
* WiFi and Ethernet shield support
* No more jumpers or soldering!
* Direct support for all the most popular motor control boards
* I2C Display support
* Direct support for all the most popular motor control boards including single pin (Arduino) or dual pin (IBT_2) type PWM inputs without the need for an adapter circuit
* I2C Display support (LCD and OLED)
* Improved short circuit detection and automatic reset from an overload
* Current reading, sensing and ACK detection settings in milliAmps instead of just pin readings
* Improved adherence to the NMRA DCC specification

* Railcom cutout (beta)
* Simpler, modular, faster code with an API Library for developers for easy expansion
* New features and functions in JMRI
* Ability to join MAIN and PROG tracks into one MAIN track to run your locos
* "Drive-Away" feature - Throttles with support, like Engine Driver, can allow a loco to be programmed on a usable, electrically isolated programming track and then drive off onto the main track
* Diagnostic commands to test decoders that aren't reading or writing correctly
* Support for Uno, Nano, Mega, Nano Every and Teensy microcontrollers
* User Functions: Filter regular commands (like a turnout or output command) and pass it to your own function or accessory
* Support for LCN (layout control nodes)
* mySetup.h file that acts like an Autoexec.Bat command to send startup commands to the CS
* High Accuracty Waveform option for rock steady DCC signals
* New current response outputs current in mA, overlimit current, and maximum board capable current. Support for new current meter in JMRI
* USB Browser based EX-WebThrottle
* New, simpler, function control command
* Number of locos discovery command `<#>`
* Emergency stop command <!>
* Release cabs from memory command <-> all cabs, <- CAB> for just one loco address
* Automatic slot (register) management
* Automation (coming soon)
NOTE: DCC-EX is a major rewrite to the code. We started over and rebuilt it from the ground up! For what that means to you, click [HERE](notes/rewrite.md).
