com0com N1MM and CWSkimmer

I am trying to setup a serial connection between an Elecraft K3, CWSkimmer and
N1MM using com0com/hub4com.

I don't get it working. Anyone on this forum who got this working properly?

Thanks Eric PE3V (ex PA3FKN)

PS I tried LP Bridge and that's working fine, but com0com looks a little bit
more ligthweigth .... (and if I can get it working I also have the possibility
to run the serial ports over ethernet)

Re: com0com N1MM and CWSkimmer

I bought an RS-232 card and gave up on the USB converter.

Re: com0com N1MM and CWSkimmer

I also use a serial port (COM1) for communication between te K3 and my computer. The thing is that I have N1MM and CWSkimmer running at the same time. They both need information from the K3 (like current frequency).
I need some splitter which sends the QRG to both N1MM and CWSkimmer.
thanks,
Eric PE3V

LP Bridge works fine! com0com looks more ligthweigth to me and gives me the possibility to run CWSkimmer on another PC the N1MM computer.

Re: com0com N1MM and CWSkimmer

In reply to this post by Iain MacDonnell - N6ML-2

Iain,
I tried the GPS HUB example (http://com0com.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/com0com/hub4com/ReadMe.txt) from hub4com (2 com0com pairs and hub4com).
As soon as I started the hub4com the TRX started sending (PTT + KEY). No QRG info and the keydown situation didn't stop until I killed the hub4com process.
Running CWSkimmer degrades the N1MM performance of my PC. Running CWSkimmer on a separate PC could solve this issue.
Thanks,
Eric PE3V

There is also VSPE for general purpose serial port virtualization.

I use LP Bridge for RMS Express. It expects separate control and keying ports.

Good luck!

Re: com0com N1MM and CWSkimmer

In reply to this post by PE3V

Hi Eric,

Try something along these lines....

hub4com --baud=38400 --octs=off --stop=2 --no-default-fc-route=All:All
--route=All:All --create-filter=pinmap:"--rts=!connect --dtr=!connect"
--add-filters=0:pinmap COM1 \\.\CNCB0 \\.\CNCB1

Not well-tested, but might get you a bit further along...

I also use a serial port (COM1) for communication between te K3 and my computer. The thing is that I have N1MM and CWSkimmer running at the same time. They both need information from the K3 (like current frequency).
I need some splitter which sends the QRG to both N1MM and CWSkimmer.

I haven't been following this thread completely but I've been running Skimmer and N1MM simultaneously via LP-Bridge for several years with no problems. Below is an example of them working together with an AutoHotKey script which allows me to jump the K3 up or down to adjacent Skimmer decoder dots with a mouse wheel. A key aspect of this is that focus is always returned to N1MM after frequency jumps.

My old Pentium IV (2.8 GHz) XP CPU and Audiophile 2496 typically run at about 20-30% CPU utilization and I've had no problems with both N1MM and Skimmer getting frequency information, as you can see in the videos.

I think this is a question for the N1MM Yahoo group. Have you tried there?

You need to use Wintelnetx, not Com0Com... With Wintelnetx, you can
combine Skimmer and Cluster into N1MM.

That's not the problem, Dave. The problem is that both N1MM Logger and
CW Skimmer expect to be able to access the K3's "rig-control" COM port
at the same time, to track the K3's current frequency (etc).

Re: com0com N1MM and CWSkimmer

Depends how you run Skimmer, I use a Microtelecom Perseus under direct
control of Skimmer. Perseus is in parallel with my K3 via the RF
IN/OUT sockets and a ferrite splitter. Perseus and Skimmer report to
Wintelnetx as does the cluster, both are combined in Wintelnetx. You
then log into Wintelnetx with N1MM via the Telnet function. N1MM
controls the K3.

Clicking on the band map of N1MM takes the K3 to the spotted stations
frequency...
