Hi Steve, Yes, I want to use the interactive mode. It looks like my problem is the Steppir Firmware. I have vs6504.

Since there are two modes that can be used to control the SteppIR let's make sure you have the correct setup. 1. You must have SteppIR firm ware 6.700 or later. 2. Make sure the cable is wired as follows (check with VOM). PC Port SteppIR ------- ------- 2 3 3 2 5 5 3. Connect the serial cable from the PC port to the SteppIR controller Data Out port. 4. Make sure the Comm Data in DDUtil (Other tab) agrees with the settings in the SteppIR controller. I use 19,200 8N1, but you can use others as long as they match. Note: The radio setup in the SteppIR controller doesn't matter as data out uses its own unique command set. Pressing the Home button in DDUtil will un-check the Enable check box, otherwise it would continue to follow the radio and would not stay home. This is normal behavior. If I have assumed wrongly contact me privately and we'll go from there. 73, Steve K5FR -----Original Message----- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of w8...@yahoo.com Sent: Tuesday, November 03, 2009 11:06 AM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] Steppir Control After using steppir for 4 years manually, I am trying to get everything to follow the 5K. Have been successful withthe 87A and Palstar AT/Auto but can't get steppir to follow. Am using DDutil. RS232 cable according to Steve's specs.Correct port, baud rate etc.With the enable button checked, nothing happens except if I click on home the enable check is removed. That is the only sign of life. What am I missing ?
