Hello,
I plan to control a Steppir SDA100 controller through the RR1258 Com1 port, using N8LP or similar software. I don't want to use a connection to the transceiver, since I only want to change the antenna manually.
The usual cabling to a PC is a cross-over to the Data Out connector of SDA100.
However, I just learned that Com1 pins at RRC1258 are already reversed (pin 2 is Tx and 3 is Rx). So I figure what I need is a straight cable from Com1 to Sda DataOut. Is that correct?
COM1 SDA100 DataOut
2 (Tx) ---------------- 2 (Rx)
3 (Rx) ----------------- 3 (Tx)
5 (Gnd) ---------------- 5 (Gnd)
Thanks

Mike,
The new interface sure does look interesting.
If I understood it correctly, the main benefits are the possibility of switching Automatic/Manual control and the web interface, right?
