"can you confirm that the KXUSB uses TTL signal levels rather than standard RS232 levels? "
I just put a scope on a breakout of the signals between a KXUSB and my KAT500. I needed to do this for another purpose anyway. The simple answer seems to be the (my) interface is neither TTL nor RS232 compliant for voltage. The PC out data swings between 0 V and 5 V. The response data from KAT500 swings between 0 V and 9.4 V but with horrible negative going spikes at each return to zero. Now I don't know if I should interrogate my KAT500 with RS232 or TTL. I certainly can't feed the KAT500 responses to the low level inputs of an Arduino. However, it would seem to be safe to use the KXUSB to interface with a TLL compatible device. 73, Andy k3wyc ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
