Is there a way to use the mini-USB to connect the wizard (Dopod 838 in my case) to a projector (e.g. to use the built-in powerpoint for presentations)
Thanks

Thanks for the reply - but CF cards don't work on the Wizard (which only has a mini-SD card slot...

Am sure they will get something like that out soon. as it is in demand.
posting to this post to keep up-to-date
thanks
will keep you posted if i find one
Igo Pitch Due
I have an Igo Pitch Due its offers a bluetooth connection to the PDA and has a VGA out to the projector. There is also two ps2 connections for mouse and keyboard control of the PDA.
The coolest part is the the connection is wireless so you can roam the room with your PDA (or mobile phone) and present from power point wirelessly.

One solution would be to install the Windows Mobile Developer Power Toys from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...d6-1dcc-47aa-ab28-6a2b006edfe9&displaylang=en
Then you can use the ActiveSync Remote Display to display your PDA on your PC desktrop and then project that.
jeffmurray - you have the pitch working with your Wizard via BT? I can not get mine to see the same usable com port. Wiz wants it to be on 6 or 7 for BT Serial...but Quickpoint does not offer 6 ot 7 to use.
Any info would be most appriciated - thanks!

HI all,
i was wondering if Compact Flash card is supported with XDA2i, i found a site which says foldable GPS receiver for XDA2i for $109.95. But i want to confirm before i buy it. Please let me know
http://www.tangshop.com/xda-02-accessories.html (look at bottom for the item -foldable receiver )
Thanks
Srujan
None of XDA/XDA2/XDA2s/XDA2i/Compact devices have CompactFlash slot. You may connect CF device ONLY via optional RS232 cable (if this is supported by CF GPS receiver).
So information on the site is wrong.
You may choose any of BlueTooth or SD or even RS 232 only GPS receiver, but I suggest you to think on BlueTooth one.
- BT device occupies no SD slot which you will use for memory card to store maps
- it may be placed anywhere in the range of 10m from PDA
- some of the modern BT GPS may work up to 20 hours with built in battery.
And RS-232 GPS is a good solution for car as you may create one cable for connectiong PDA to GPS & power adapter (and even car handsfree)
I find it hard to believe that this topic has not been discussed here. Perhaps I didn't hit the right keyword combination in the search (if so, please accept my apologies and kindly guide me in the right direction).
I am interested in connecting my 8125 to the diagnostics port (OBD II) on my car in order to read error messages.
I found this relatively cheap tool online that lets you connect to your laptop.
It also has some links for software that will run on the PPC as well as a serial to USB cable (with mini adapter).
Does anyone know if this is feasible?
Here's the tool:

Here's the PPC software:

I work for a scan tool software / hardware company. We have recently been discussing developing an application for the PPC.
Here are a few additional applications.

I use a bluetooth unit with my laptop and wizard, it is available from
http://www.vitalengineering.co.uk/
I have used it with a few PDA's and it works really well I can clear codes log data from the sensors etc its OBDII and CAN compatible

Thanks for the suggestions!
The unit Rob suggests seems pretty powerful for the price.
And the fact that he's tried it with the Wizard helps!
I think you can download the software and run it in simulation mode to see if it does the things you want it too.
good luck getting the setup you want.

I've also used the Elmscan unit mentioned above with a Sena Serial -> Bluetooth dongle along with my 8125 or a Treo and been able to monitor my idling vehicle from as much as 50 feet away. I'm not sure why I would ever need to do that but it's nice to know it's there.
this sounds interesting, what is this?
OBD lets you peer into your car's computer to see what's going on more or less. Very helpful with cars the have idiot lights instead of guages. Autoenginuity.com has some great software and has bluetooth adapters for the American side of the pond. I think they're $128.00 for the BT module, not sure about the others.
I want to connect my wizard to the OBDII port of my car to use a programm called "VAG-CHECK".
I have an OBDII to USB cable, and i managed to convert it to miniUSB.
My problem is that the software can use only serial ports.
What I believe I need, is a "serial over usb" driver that will implement a virtual serial port and will redirect data to the usb port. Am I right? Do you know if there is such software?
Thanks in advance.
Even if you had the mentioned driver, you would still need a USB host enabled pocket pc. The wizard acts only as USB client, so it's not possible to connect it to any other USB devices rather than a PC.
And - before that question comes up - USB host is not a piece of software, it's hardware! You won't ever be able to add this feature to a Wizard. Sorry...
Thanks a lot!
My next try was to buy a bluetooth to serial adapter, that supports the serial port interface. What I did, is that I paired the two devices, but no serial port is added in the wizard. So I added it manualy (outbound serial port, com6). But neither the OBD software can see this port, nor a hyperterminal emulation. I cannot even initiate this link from the wizard. Is there any way to achieve this?
I picked up very simple usb gamepad (stealseries 1gc) since my usb mouse and kb worked with zero configuration. I was looking for an alternative to the pricey wii controller, and something a bit smaller than a usb keyboard. Unfortunately it did not function out of the box.
Does anyone have any recommendations to get it working? What should I try or do? are there any non market apps that may get this working?
EDIT:
I can imagine that something could be rigged up since this guy did it.

We already have a USB port to accesss.... the question or problem is support for other than thumb drive or key board.....nothing else seems to be suppported including mice and game pads......
i think it might be lost effort trying to figure it out. i thought it might instantly be recognized as HID. My wireless (RF not BT) microsoft mouse worked without any modification, though i didnt see the point to using a mouse.
USB Gamepad Drivers?
There hasn't been any activity in this topic, so i thought i would post thread i came across. Sorry that it could not be a hyper link, but the mods on the site will not allow you to post external links untill you have 8 post or more.

This doesn't work, but I wish it did
Instead of starting a new topic, I thought I'd just post here and ask if anyone's had any luck in this regard. This device is so unbelievably ripe for emulation, and its a total shame that even with a standard USB port, no one has figured out how to use a gamepad yet.
I've got a bluetooth gamepad with 6 buttons, the BGP100. Unfortunately, you need to buy a $10 driver from the market (MMG Gamepro). After all that, I'm playing Street Fighter II and NBA Jam TE like it's 1996
There's another thread regarding the use of Wii controllers via bluetooth. I was able to get the two Datel Retro Wireless Wii controllers off ebay for $26 (I got lucky).
PlayStation controller with a PlayStation to USB adapter
Hi I am a first time poster here, so I hope this gets to the right place.
I use the loox 720 pocket PC with USB host and a PlayStation controller with a PlayStation to USB adapter.
For a drivers I use hidgamep.dll. Copy it to your Pocket PC's Windows folder and enter the following to your registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\HID\LoadClients\Default \Default\1_5\gamepad "DLL"="hidgamep.dll"
OR [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\HID\LoadClients\Default\Default\Default\Gamepad] "DLL"="hidgamep.dll"
if it did not work. But, any unknow HID device pluged in will try use the hidgamep.dll. It´s not problem for me and it´s working fine!
and I use Mobiion MagiKB Lite v1.1 - http://www.mobiion.com/magikblite.html to change the button commands so like when I was playing super mario bros.gun 2 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556557 I change the "X" button to "up" and the "O" to the "space bar". But for the most part I use the controller as a media remote for the core player or windows media player ...
I use Zeno USB Host Drivers 2011 v1.0 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...url
for everything else
PS
I hope this helps
Is it possible to use the micro USB audio connector for audio? After rooting, the audio application of the android does not recognize the mp3 files to play. Why not let it do so?
I think that would require USB host mode like on the Samsung galaxy. I think that means needing extra hardware doesn't it? -otherwise I would expect every phone to be capable of it
edit: It is possible but you can fry stuff. Info on NookColor forum
USB host = great possible enhancement?
I wanted to post to proper thread, however I am new here I was not allowed to post on developers forum. So I hope that this post will still somehow find its way there. It also includes your original question.
Since some USB features are now claimed to be working, I wanted to ask directly poping out questions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21669750
Is it possible to...
1.) disable on-screen keyboard while using USB one?
2.) connect USB soundcard like: http://www.usbgear.com/computer_cable_details.cfm?sku=USBG-X2X&cats=121&catid=121%2C136%2C134
To allow listening mp3, Skype calls.... ?
3.) connect USB Ethernet card like: http://www.usbgear.com/205528.html
4.) to connect other cool usb stuff like: GSM, printers ... whatever
thanks you developer guys, I hope I'll once manage some time to learn more about the system and developement so that I could contribute too !
thanks to androind and nook simple touch creators!

Currently the answer to all of the above is no
The USB host mode patch was done for a specific project (USB keyboard support) and while I have been spending some time playing around with Bluetooth I'm not aware of any other dev(s) working on expanding this atm.
Stuff like audio, networking and Bluetooth requires _a_lot_ more than just the kernel accepting to communicate with the device.
thats shame. allowed skype calls would be great
Skype calls are working on my nook with OTG + USB audio card on usb host mode. But it is a bit difficult ))).
To update these older posts:
Yes, it is possible to disable the soft keyboard when using a USB keyboard.
See NullKbd in the signature.
Yes, Skype works fine.

Where is the difficulty?
Do a logcat and look for overruns and errors.
There were a few mods done to make Skype work.
so an external usb sound card is working?
Yes, an external USB audio adapter can work.
As a portable solution it's a bit cumbersome.
I don't know what current they usually draw, but my cheapy one draws 75 mA.
A desktop solution with powered hub (charging the Nook), a USB adapter and speakers works fine.
Would USB headphones work directly on that port? I have USB OTG cable and some USB sound card somewhere so I can check with regular 3.5mm jack headphones without trouble when I find some time to do it but I just wonder if anyone tried USB headphones on it and what they think of it. Is it worth of a hassle to buy one for NST?
Some USB devices use a multiplexor on the USB micro connector and can send actual analog audio down the connector.
Many Androids support USB host mode and can support an audio USB adapter, including the ones that go for < $10.
The NST (earlier Nooks with OMAP processors) don't have complete software support for USB host mode but can be coerced into working.
The Glows (later Nooks with IMX processor) don't have complete software or hardware support for USB host mode but can be coerced into working.
The Glow4 (7.8") has audio.
Did anyone tried to use Galaxy Tab 2 10.1(P5100) with usb to IRda adaptor as a remote control with sucess(providing that you have Samsung usb adaptor at the first place)?I see that Peel app works with Tab 2,but in Note it works with internal IRda port.

I doubt if there is any usb IRDa driver so i would not expect that to work
I was afraid about that,all adaptors at the market are delivered with windows drivers,I did not find not a single one with android.

Android USB has only basic drivers for mouse, keyboard , flash and a generic web cam. I don;t think anything else will be recognized. That was done to keep the package as small as possible. And you can't just download a new driver since they reside in the system lib area and on a consumer android device that is inaccessible.
great idea for work application
one of my friends try this one: computerusb(dot)com ,
feel great, they offer drivers.
