SameProblem?!
Hello!
I'm a newbee... i want to connect a GPS 4TomTom to the USB Port.
So i don't really know, how to connect the MDA II to the USB GPS-Mouse.
I've taken an USB cable, that could charge the MDA II and build a adapter to connect the cable and the GPS Mouse in it. It won't work. I've think so already, but i've read it anywhere in the www.
So, could anybody help me with the Problem?
I've an Haicom HI-202E GPS-Mouse,
the MDA II :wink:
a soldering iron...
and a 5V Powersupply in my adapter (consists of 2 USB ports connected to each other, powersupplied with an 7805 (2A))
How can i fix it?
Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure, but i think, that wouldn't work.
The USB Specifications says that USB requires one master device to controll the slave devices. Your PC is the master device and the mda is just an slave. You won't be able to get 2 slaves talking to each other without a master.....
Stefan
cant the MDA work as an Master?
I've heard it so. But I'm not shure.
Some people gets a external HDD working on other PDA's.
I'll look and think about, but i've never found anithing an web for thet problem/solution. :roll:
I've wondered that nobody wants to connect more on the PDA...
I mean 20Gig HDD may be nice in Holliday to listen music :wink:
the tomtom software for PPC's will enable under "GPS-status - GPS" the options to select a protocol/GPS-Mouse and the connection:
Ir
BT on com6
serial on com1
com9
.
.
Serial on USB
Bluetooth GPS
so, i thought it will
Thanks for more...
Found this in another thread:

Yes, this is right. The XDA2 won't function as a USB host. You do need that backpack and a www.ratocsystems.com host card. Then it will work.
I know this becuase I'm trying to link mine up to a HDD to store loads of music in my car and use the PPC as a controller but I don't want the confounded backpack - for you though on the motorbike, only using it when you need it it sounds perfect.

Hi
I have an xda 1 & am trying to get the gps to work. I have a Haicom hi204s gps receiver & a (ic-xda-ht for 02 xda tmoble ) cable for the car.
The software I am using is tom tom 3 ver 3.02
I have turned the beam off
My settings for the gps page are Haicom GPS + com1
I am at a loss !!

@nobody: THE MDA can ony act as slave.
BUT: For GPS you ony need a serial port. And after all USB IS a serial type of port.
Only thing you need to do is solder a cable that connects the +5v, ground, Tx and Rx of the GPS USB connector to the appropiate pins of the MDA connector . . . .
On one of the german forums (cant remember the name :-( )there is a memeber nicked 'mocki' that offers custom built cables.
Tanman, choose nmea 4800 and com 1. Make sure beams are off and also that you dont have a keyboard driver loaded. Go to the gps screen in tomtom and see if there is any bars showing for satellites. If this doesnt work or gives an error let me know.
Hi cruisin-thru
Worked a treat
what I could not find at first was 'nmea 4800' which was the name of the sat receiver
Nice one thanx a lot
Tan
Tanman, that is actually the protocol used by the receiver rather than the name/model. Glad its sorted for you.

:?: :?:
So what you're saying is that, asl ong as the hardware is compatible with NMEA, we can use this generic driver with the correct baud spreed ?
Yes
how? i use laptop toshiba m100 built in BT. pelase help me.. can u show me steb by steb how to use active synce via BT. thx
Hi,
you can download a detailed "how-to" on the Toshiba Support Homepage for Bluetooth:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/index.php?page=howto
Best regards,
for me i turn on the bt on my laptop, then on my phone, then open activesync on my phone then connect via BT
and voila my phone is conected
i use wm6, i try choose to set up windows mobile wm5 with BT but i can not conect. my pda only detec wireles stereo and serial port. activesycn not detec. how?
please help me
Hi,
did you follow the documents from toshiba ? There is detailed information about using it !!!
On you PC, did you try to set "allow connections also to" COM7 ??? (Do NOT choose Bluetooth there, neither USB). And read the "How-To" from toshiba ....
Is there anyway of sending an Av signal out of the Orbit 2 /Polaris via the USb so I can connect it to a data projector ?
No... for that the polaris must be able to act as a USB host, but it can't
But if you are able to compramise a little bit, can you plug a PC in to the projector?
If so install a piece of software called My Mobiler, that will allow you to show the screen of your mobile on the PC and control it and then show it on the projector.
Fantastic but of software, plus its free!
peace to all members xda :=)
i have a connexion problem active sync,my ppc prophet pm300 its not detected by activesync,if some know how i can connect it ?
thanks for advc :=)
hello
heres what i think you should check before connecting to active sync..
1. are you using vista or xp? < coz i use xp, if you use xp then heres my setting> < attached >
2. check your USB cradle or cable, try attaching the cable/cradle at the back ports of your CPU..
3. check your cable/cradle too if its working...
4.You can use a USB cable or serial cable to connect your device to your PC. Always use the cable or cradle provided by your device's manufacturer to connect your device to your desktop computer.
Connect one end of the cable to the serial (COM) port or USB port on your desktop computer.
Connect the other end of the cable to your mobile device. ActiveSync connects automatically to your device.
Important Note For additional security, disable network bridging on the PC (specifically, bridging to a Remote NDIS adapter) before connecting to the PC to pass though to the Internet or a network. For more information on network bridging, see Windows Help on the PC.
Note If you are using a serial cable, the COM port you used during installation of ActiveSync must be available (not in use) for ActiveSync to connect to your device. If you have freed the COM port for other uses, on the File menu, click Connection Settings, then click Connect. ActiveSync will free the COM port and connect to your device.
RGRDS!
Hello Folks,
maybe someone can help.
I have tytn 2, and was wondering, is there a way to use internal gps as gps that would be used on Car PC?
I have a centrafuse program on my CPC, and before I buy usb gps, I would like to check all ideas before spending some money for nothing.
So, to connect Tytn with PC, PC recognizes USB GPS, centrafuse conects with it and I have a navigation!?
Possible?
