nVSP (non-Virtual Serial Port) is a serial port router that runs on 
RaspberryPi and replaces Virtual Serial Port applications like LP-Bridge 
that run on Windows. Aside from my desire to avoid running a VSP for my 
LP-Pan/NaP3 panadapter, nVSP also translates the K3 CAT protocol to Icom 
CI-V frequency data for my PW1 amplifier. Alpha tests at two hams' stations 
using K3Ss, various logging programs, an LP-Pan/NaP3, and PW1s have been 
successful and I am now looking for a broader audience to test the program. 
The SteppIR controller interface has not been tested (don't have any SteppIR 
gear, but it should work).

If you have been unwilling or unable to install a VSP on your computer this 
free program may solve those problems.
Download the documentation and executable   nVSP.zip   here:

True Cost Disclaimer: nVSP is free but the associated RPi, cabinet, and 
multiple serial adapter cables will probably cost you between $125 and $175 
dollars. Links to various suppliers are included in the manual.
