Important Note: Due to the special functional structure of the CTC system, you will see an almost empty screen after download and installation. The system only comes to “life” once CTC modules (decoders) are logged in or in operation.

CTC App Downloads

CTC App for Desktop

With CTC App Version 4, our IR transmitters and NFC tags really come into their own!

You can download the installers for the CTC App directly via the following links:

NEW: Starting with version 4.22, the window layout for PC has become significantly more flexible. New windows can be created via the “View” menu. Using the mouse, content can be dragged by its title bar into or out of other windows.

Installation Notes:

CTC App for Android

The CTC app is now available for €9.99 in the Google Play Store or still free of charge here for manual installation.

The free app CTC-Junior can only be used to control locomotives.

Notes:

  • Configuration of CTC modules is currently only partially available on Android.
  • We have introduced the Play Store fee to reduce unnecessary downloads and the resulting ratings.
  • Due to the Play Store certification process, the app is always released there slightly later than the desktop version.

CTC App for iOS (iPhone, iPad)

The CTC app for iOS is now available in the App Store for €9.99. Currently, the app is only functional for control purposes. For configuring CTC modules, you will still need to use a Mac or PC.

The free CTC App Junior can only be used to control locomotives.

Notes:

  • The function for registering CTC modules on Wi-Fi is unfortunately not available on iOS, as Apple does not provide a suitable API for this.
  • Configuration of CTC modules is currently only partially available on iOS.
  • We have chosen to charge a fee in the App Store to reduce unnecessary downloads and the resulting low-quality ratings.
  • Due to the App Store’s certification process, the iOS app is always released slightly later than the desktop version.

Firmware

The firmware for the CTC modules is included with the CTC desktop app. The exact version can be found in the change history (see below). A separate download is not currently planned.

Notes:

  • After updating the firmware to version 20250725 or newer, it is no longer possible to revert to older versions (up to 20250627).

Change History

App Version 4.44 (PC only), Firmware 20250806

Automation:

  • Delay locking and switching of routes in driving orders so that only 2 blocks are ever reserved.
  • Route: Unlocking will now be attempted until the relevant action is unlocked or otherwise locked (previously, there was a timeout).
  • Script logs in the ActionLog when paused.
  • Lock commands from scripts were still in the log instead of the ActionLog.
  • Triggers and timers can now also be assigned to blocks, especially for switching routes.
  • Triggers on automation (block, balise, etc.): State is now also changed if no matching script is found.
  • Track diagram: Routes can now also be switched if the destination block is in a different track plan.

Other bug fixes:

  • Error when saving Wi-Fi configuration.
  • Duplication of track plans in lists after renaming modules.
  • Switching in the track plan was not possible if the symbol represented a state without a script.

Firmware:

  • Upgraded ESP32 Android base system from version 1.0.6 to the latest (3.2.1) and ESP8266 Android (CTC locomotive module H0a) from 3.0.2 to the latest (3.1.2).
  • Made Wi-Fi communication more robust.
  • Module status is automatically forwarded after the first sync, even if sync is missing from the CTC app.

App Version 4.40 (PC only), Firmware 20250627

Scripts and Automation:

  • Script execution and communication no longer appear in the log but are instead saved in a separate file “Action-Log.csv” (in the CTC app’s data folder).
  • Nesting of app scripts (automation, NFC balises) limited to 10 levels, with an abort mechanism implemented.

Other CTC App Changes:

  • Wi-Fi and motor CSV files are now written to the CTC app’s data folder instead of the operating system’s app data directory.
  • The suggested folder for config backups is now the CTC app’s data folder.

Bug Fixes:

  • MotorSensor calibration did not work correctly in a loop with only a measuring section as a balise.
  • Occasional error when saving measured values from MotorSensor calibration.

Firmware:

  • Fixed a bug in MotorAction: A calculation error during braking could lead to maximum acceleration.
  • Improved Wi-Fi Mesh: Scans other channels only after 60 seconds without a connection.
  • Wi-Fi Mesh logic now identical for switching modules as well.
  • Script nesting limited to 10 levels—without this restriction, an error in a script could render the CTC module unusable.
  • Errors in nested actions and scripts now trigger script termination.
  • EnumAction sets the value to '!' if an invalid value is requested (not yet displayed in the CTC app).
  • Removed compatibility with CTC Config Version 2.x (pre-2020): Eliminated NetCfgOld and WifiCfgOld (reclaimed 1 kB of flash memory for ESP8285).
