Since there is no longer a DB25, J7 was removed.ĭriver- the computer interface chip inside this KPC-3 Plus is made by FTDI. J7 selected those analog inputs either from the DB9 or the DB25 jack. Optionally, open those jumpers to disable those inputs. J8 and J10 connect analog inputs from the DB9 jack through to the processor.

Interfacing to a computer running as a network node should work as long as the computer program used can access the virtual serial port assigned to the KPC by the computers operating system.
Interfacing the KPC into a node stack with other TNCs is no longer available. The only GPS interface is through pin 2 on the radio port, and is enabled with the GPSPORT command.
Interfacing with an external GPS or weather station device through the serial port is no longer available. SO, if your operating system recognizes the KPC-3+ 512K USB version, AND assigns a com port number for programs to use to communicate, AND your KISS mode software can communicate through that assigned serial port number, there will be no difference in the KPC operation, from the previous RS232 model. The ability of being able to use KISS mode with the KPC-3+ 512K USB, solely depends on the computer software you use, and ITS ability to communicate through the virtual serial port that your computers operating system configures when it sees the USB connection to the KPC. The options for GPS, KISS, XKISS, MODEM, and NET may not be useable, or may have limited functionality. Some of the options under the INTFACE command, while still available, will be limited or non-functional. Because of this change in the computer interface, there will be a few differences in operations and functions. You will need a common-type cable, that has a USB type A (computer end) to USB type B (KPC end). Instead of the DB25 RS232 jack, it now has an up-to-date universal serial jack.
