In other words, the Steppir controller should be connected to receive data but not transmit. Only two wires should be connected to it -- receive data and signal ground. I always forget the pin numbers, but you can google it.
If it is connected like this, the computer will not know the Steppir controller is connected. I do this successfully with a Palstar autotuner.
