Hi
I have a ipaq 3950 and a GPS Haicom HI203e wired. I just received my knew qtek 2020 or XDAII ans I'd like to use the same wired GPS mouse. The connectors looks too be the same but is the PIN layout the same too? Is there any risk of electric problem for the Qtek? My I use the same cable or buy a knew one?

i think you will have to do some soldering...
You will possibly kill your xda if you use the combined charger/data lead from an ipaq, you can obtain a new lead for it to fit your ipaq for about 20 pounds in uk.
Hi there,
I currently have a recently deceased ipaq 3630 with GPS cable, currently hardwired into my car (I just took the plastics off the plug, hard wired it to ground and ignition power and re-boxed it)
Anyways, I also have an Orange M1000 with 2 cradles, and I'm a cheap*ss mofo.... so what I'm basically planning on is:-
get pinouts for ipaq 3630
get pinouts for M1000 (I see they're in a post in this forum)
cut ipaq end off GPS cable and strip
cut usb end off M1000 cradle cable and strip
using multimeter buzz out the pin -> colour on each of the cables
wire together
glue (or duck tape or something) cradle into car
I'm working on the theory that the gps -> ipaq connection is going to have power and tx/rx which will be all I need for the gps, and that the M1000 cradle will have the same for activesync.
Anyone done this or similar, or does anyone think I'm just crazy?
Cheers
Doogie
Answering my own question because noone else did
The cradle I had was for USB not serial and I couldn't manage to get serial over USB option working in tomtom..... I opened the cradle (T6 driver), split the cable to leave the power going where it was but split out the 2 usb cables and I buzzed out some points on the board where there was connectivity to the 8 & 10 pins... little bit of soldering and reassembly and I now have a serial cradle with power that connects to my GPS..... now just need to make it look purty in my car
Hi there,
I'm wondering how the "backpack for Himalaya" is working.
It has a VGA/TV output, whereas the bottom pins on the Himalaya don't have VGA out.
What do you think? How does the screen information "leave" the XDA, if there are only USB, RS232 and audio pins on the connector (according to http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/Connectors )?
All help and tips are welcome!
Cheers,
Tomiki
Hi
Are you sure such thing exists ?
I know that you can pipe-out video from Ipaq H5550 through special expansion slot.
Himalaya doesn't have such connectors (only standard charge/audio/usb/serial).
The only way to get video out from it is to encode it and send via USB.
Just like Microsoft's rdisp does. (crappy.. about 10 fps, and is hard on device's CPU)
Ugh, come ON people.
Take the back OFF your device, and wonder! wonder at the extra connector I just gave your in all its goodness!
That will be £5 for pointing out the bleedin' obvious thank you.
The backpack connects here, you remove the existing back panel to fit it.
And yes, there IS a vga out on it.
Hi Pyrofel,
The thing is: I have a Blue Angel, so I'm looking for something like that on my Blue Angel ) I thought the VGA is converted into USB and leaves the XDA II on the USB, so that the same could be done on the Blue Angel as well.
What do you think?
Otherwise thanks for tlling me the obvious, sorry I couldn'T check it out without an XDA II
Cheers,
Tomiki
i dont think the backpack connector under the back cover of himalaya
are usb
for the himalaya to have 2 usb connectors you could use at the same time it
1 would have to have an usb hub
2 would have to be usb master which it's not
No, the connector under the cover isnt usb
No, vga doesnt come out over USB.
No, ive not seen the vga for Blueangle.
This is a special port, like the expansion port on the old Ipaq models.
I dont ever remember hearing about a vga backpack for anything other than xda II, obviously it sold so well they didnt bother with it on other models.
I think there is an SDIO card with vga out. I dont know where I saw it, but im sure it exists.
well i have seen usb to vga box's
but that would require
1 the pda being able to act as USB host
2 drivers for the box for pda's
i would not hold my breath
Maybe I could take the Blue Angel apart to check out if there's video out or not.
Otherwise Margi used to sell SDIO VGA cards, but it's discontinued.
I think only the Universal can act as a USB host, not the Himalaya, Blue Angel.
Well, I don't know, if somebody finds out something, let me know

and people dont even seem 100% sure that universal support host

Hi robal...where did you get this information from?
I'm trying to modify the driver for the HP VGA-Out card for use with my iPAQ h5550 with PC-Card expansion pack plus.
The card came bundled with driver for WinCE2.1 only & meant for Jornada 600 series handheld PC using Hitachi SH3 CPU.
Anyone in this forum thread got any clue how or where I can begin doing that?
Any advice in the right direction is appreciated.
Thanks!

Well I have a h5500 and I can stick in a vga card (about $120 incl ir remote) and that gives me RCA as well as svideo outputs upto 1024x768. There are both cf cards (large supply) and pccards (I have the dual pccard adapter for my 5500 along with extra battery pack).
google around for a "pocket pc" "vga card" you will find many. But you need to get the "expansion sleeve" to make it work as the 5500 does not come with any cf/pccard slots by default. There *might* be a SD vga card out there, I havent looked as I have had a 1GB sd card in there for over a year and refuse to remove it

you can make anything a USB host if its a USB client, it just takes a little bit of hardware. More than a null modem however (which is what some people sell). and yes the drivers would have to be there, all in all I dont know that it would be worth it unfortunately :/
The USB host is also supposed to supply the operating voltage for the clients, that is why the wizard charges (I presume others too) that way. If you dont you violate the spec and your devices may not work. This would put a lot of load on the battery and possibly make it run considerably hotter than it needs to.

Hi trixter!
Thanks for the reply...I have the PC Card Expansion Pack Plus & the HP VGA-out PC Card but dun have the right drivers to get them to work.
Any idea if the bundled driver(meant for WinCE2.1 running on Jornada 600 series H/PC) can be modified to work on the WM2003?
Please advice.
Thanks!
Hi, i am planning to upgrade my imate ppc to WM5. I read the upgrade documents of c_shekhar and he has mentioned we need to have the cradle adapter connected but I dont have the connector. Can I still upgrade my ppc, kindly let me know.
Regards,
Sher

Hi there
I did mine with a Sync cable only.
Went 100%. I Had no problems.
I think the only reason why there should be power with th cradle, is if the PPC's battery went flat during a ROM upgrade, it can be disasterous.
But you shouldnt have a problem!
Cheers
also being powered by the pc power could disappear if the pc crashed (or if connected to a unpowered hub along with other devices stealing some of the 500mA that a usb port can max provide)
but if the cradle have the connection to the psu too the chances you can carry on after the pc reboots are bigger
I was concerned about this too - but went ahead anyway with a USB sync cable which i got off ebay, connected to a powered USB hub.
It takes half an hour approx and I had no problems
Is it possible?
The dell axim motherboard has
VCC, GND, TDO, TDI, TMS, TRST
I looked on some forums and someone says they might be..
VCC- power
GND- ground
TDO- out
TDI- in- probably what you're looking for
TMS- don't know
TRST- reset, it looks like.
.... Could anyone help with Jtagging? I need a RS232 cable?
Any other thoughts advice?
Thanks
Anyone have any ideas??
