K3 & Piglet
Locked
 
|
Santa brought me an iPadAir for Xmas and I'd like to sync it w/ a Piglet (Pignology product) for CW and digital modes as shown in Sept. 2013 CQ article and to use w/ HamLog.
The Piglet has an RS-232 male connector and my IPad has a lightening connector at the iPad w/ a USB connector at the other end. Surely there must be an adapter plug to connect these two varieties (USB/RS-232) but my on-line search hasn't found one. Has anyone on the reflector successfully put together a similar setup and could point me in the right direction? 73 & Happy New Year, Cary, K4TM Sent from Clovelly Cottage, home of amateur radio station K4TM and the most creative Sue Cary, with my iPhone 6 in Lynchburg VA - a great place to live, work, play, and retire! ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Cary,
I no longer have a Piglet, but if my “rememberer” is correct, the iPad connects to the Piglet via WLAN. The Piglet connects to the K3 (or other radio) via the RS232 port. 73, Joel - W4JBB > On Dec 27, 2014, at 9:25 AM, H.

The piglet does not need a connection to the iPad. It connects via
WiFi, either through your home wireless network or direct, depending on how you set it up. Set up instructions are either in the Piglet's book or in their on-line instructions on www.pignology.net I don't have one right now, but it's relatively easy to set up. You gotta follow the exact directions from pignology though to get it working. The RS-232 cable connection is only to connect the Piglet to the radio or to the computer for special programming.

Hello Cary,
If I understand your question, you are trying to physically connect the Piglet to the iPad. That's not the way it works. The Piglet connects to your K3 via the RS232 connector, that way it can control the K3 via the standard K3 control interface. The Piglet connects to the iPad via wifi. There are a couple of different ways to do that. You can either connect both the iPad and the Piglet to your wifi router (called infrastructure mode if I remember), or you can connect the iPad directly to the Piglet, also via wifi. There are complete details on how to set either of these up on the pignology web site. This works very nicely. 73, Happy New Year, and good luck! Terry, WB4JFI -----Original Message----- From: H.
