Qik Quick Questions

[borkbork]

I have a Qik motor controler and a 23201a RS-232 adapter. Am I correct to assume that to to get the 23201 talking to the Qik all I have to do is connect RX to RX and TX to TX?

I’m new at this so I figured I’d ask before I melted anything.

Hello.

From the 23201a product page:

The TX line and RX lines are labeled from the computer’s perspective, so the TX pin has data transmitted by the computer that should be connected to your project’s receive input.

On the qik, the serial pins are labeled from the qik’s perspective, so RX on the qik is the line on which it expects its serial input. Therefore, you should connect TX on your serial adapter to RX on the qik and RX on your serial adapter to TX on the qik.
