RS-232 out? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories

Hi,
I am upgrading from an iPaq hx4700 to a tytn, and am wondering if it is possible to get RS-232 serial data out of the mini usb cable. I have installed a serial GPS reciever into my car and it would be nice just to use a single cable to plug into the bottom of the tytn as I do with my iPaq.
With Regards,
Mark

Unfortunately the TyTn has no external Com port as the Hx4700 has.
The mini usb section only supports usb and nothing else.
Except for the extra audio connections but that has nothing to do with the usb connection itself.
Cheers,
Drifter

22pin connector for MDA/XDA III anywhere?

Hi!
Anyone fonud out until now where to get the 22pin connector for the MDA/XDA III device? It has changed a bit from the iPAQ 3800 style, so accessoires for I/II won´t work
Furthermore, has the pinout changed?
What I need is a cable for connecting my GPS-reciever, or the parts to build one.
Thanks in advance,
Danyel
OH NO, you are saying that the MDA II accessoried, chargers, etc., won't work with the MDA III?
Well, it looks like that...
I have an USB-sync-cable, car charger and my GPS-reciever. Without forcing the plug it won´t fit into the new connector.
The new one has a gab on one side and two little pits wich fit into gaps in the devices connector.
I´ll post a picture of the old and the new one... MDA III´s camera is not quite good for macro-photos.
Well, I have "reconfigured" my old GPS- and USB-cable. It´s just takeing away some of the plastic on the connector. Both cables work fine for the MDA III now, take a look at the picture:
hey folks,

i got the qtek2020 from vodafone D2. now i want to plug my usb gps reciever with sirfII chipset to the pda. 5v for the usb power comes from accus. this wouldn't be the problem i think. but how i figure it out which connectors of the pda are the right connectors for die TX and RX of the reciever? and the final question: is this what i want to do (usb pc gps reciever at pda) possible?

Therefor you´ll need a USB to serial converter, as far as I know.

22 pin adaptor for QTEK 9090
hi, you need original connector you can try with 2020 22 pin but after some days or week you will damage you QTEK 9090 and you not be able to use anymore the connector! i suggest you to buy ORIGINAL see here available : http://www.bluetrade.fr/achat/produit_details.php?id=76226
i hope i'm logged in now!
to dev_dme you missunderstood me? i have an usb gps mouse so i need a seriell one. and there are no converter from seriell to usb.
to last guest
i think i posted in fals thread. i have a qtek 2020!!!! no 9090.
There are USB to serial converters made by Iogear, search the web. You would have to redue the cable to connect to your Qtek. But since you have bluetooth, though the old one away and get a blue tooth GPS, much nicer.
converters from usb TO seriell but not from seriell TO usb. i'm right?
The USB driver was on laptop to change the port to a serial port but the communication was bidirectional.
You could also look at maxim semiconductors, I know they make a chip that converts serial to USB but I couldn't find it.

but i need usb to seriel converter..... i want to use an usb device at a seriell port
They have a device, I saw it in EE Times twice (as I said I need that) that will do exactly what your looking for. It would connect to a USB device, takecare of all the protocal and then spit out serial bits of the data. I beleive the formating (USB-serial bin/ASCII, bit ording) was able to be changed via reg settings.
maybe search EE times website.

Well, your GPS mouse is a USB client (slave). You can only connect it to a USB host (master), which the XDA II is not. So you would need an adapter that contains a USB host. As paulmc says, they seem to exist, but seem to work only with "big" Windows (they need drivers), and I am quite sure they are really expensive.
I really recommend you get either a Bluetooth or a regular serial GPS mouse. Both are easy to connect to an XDA II.

1. There are several. Try www.pocketnavigation.de for a start.
2. There are voltage regulators you can buy. But be very careful, the voltage in a car is full of spikes and other nasty things. You need a good voltage regulator if you don't want to endanger your new Holux. The usual solution is to buy a holder for the PDA that also has a connector for the GPS mouse. This gives you a well filtered voltage for your mouse.

and some more important for me: i need information for the pins. what pin for which signal?
Does anyone know if the pin-setup for the 'blue angel' aka Qtek9090 is different then the 'Himalaya' aka Qtek2020?

Thanks!

anyone found the pinout for QTEK9090(Blue Angel) yet ?
please share.

mini usb

silly question maybe, but is it possible to use a USB GPS mouse connected to the mini-USB port? to be used with TT5.
ibelieve that this has been asked before ("search" is very useful), and the hardware is capable, but WM5 is not, as it does not have the ability to be a USB host.

Leadtek 9531 to USB cable

I have a Leadtek 9531 GPS Mouse which I wired into my car for my previous PDA (An Orange SPV M2000 branded Blue Angel).
I've now upgraded to an Orange SPV M3100 branded Hermes.
I want to keep my GPS Mouse, but I can't find a replacement cable set anywhere. (All the USB - RJ11 Cables I can find are Charging only)
Leadtek's website is no help !
The exisiting cable is a cigarette lighter to PDA cable, with a y split for an RJ11 socket for the GPS Mouse (I'm after a cigarette lighter to USB\RJ11 female)
Does anyone know where I can get one of these cables from ?
cheers
Correct me if I am wrong but I believe since Hermes has no USB host chip one cannot connect any USB devices to it? Hermes´ USB port is for audio, sync and charging only, right?

GNS Trafficbox on HD2

Hi there,
I was wondering, if it's possible to get a GNS Trafficbox FM9 connected to the HD2 (via adapter) to receive TMC-Data.
HyperGPS isn't working so far, so this could be the proper alternative...
Anybody's got some experience concerning this?
I've just bought a GNS Trafficbox FM9 which has come with a mini-B USB plug to use with my HD2. I've also bought a micro-b USB extension lead.
Taking the Trafficbox apart reveals a simple circuit board with the output wires coded in what appears to be standard USB colours. My thinking is that if I cut the USB A plug off the extension lead I should be able to solder them to the board and (hoepfully) away I go, avoidning all the traffic.
The extension lead should be here in a couple of days - I'll let you know how I get on.

[Q] USB Memory

Is there any way to connect external USB Memory Sticks to my Blackstone? i can combine some cables to connect USB Stick to miniUSB's blackstone does it works? Do i need any drivers? Anybody tested this yet?
as far as i know, the usb port on the blackstone is only a client port. it is only for connections with host devices like a pc (and the charger of course). even though it is an htc extusb port, it is not even compatible with htc accessories, like handsfrees or video out.
you can give it a try using zeno's usb host drivers and a storage device with an active power supply (i.e. external harddisks), but i wouldn't count on it working, your best bet to extend the storage is to simply get a bigger micro sdhc card.
