P3 SteppIR Connection

[Bud Governale, W3LL]

On what RS232 leg should I connect the SteppIR controller?

P3 to K3 Leg or P3 to Computer.

I think one leg may carry less "traffic".

73,

Hi Bud,

The P3 and K3 are connected on one leg of the Y cable per the diagram in the P3 manual. The SteppIR controller connects to the other leg per the drawing supplied by SteppIR. If you need a copy of the SteppIR connection send me a direct e-mail and I'll send it to you.

You can theoretically connect the SteppIR "Y" cable on either side, but
it is better to connect it between the PC and the P3 since there is less
RS-232 traffic there than between the K3 and the P3.
