Hi, is here anybody who knows what type of connector is used for GPS-antenna? I have XDA Orbit. I think there is MC-Card connector, is it possible?
there is no connector. There is an antenna directly connected to the pc board and no test port was added

hi...
i already have the Magellan gps 315 and wanted to know if its possible to connect to the XDA II. what cables would i need etc.... it is NMEA 2.1 compliant...
thanks for any help or suggestions
maxd
I assume the Magellan communicate with a serial port?
The simple way is to get hold of a serial sync cable and a "crossover gender bender" (that is what I have for my Garmin GPS 35 at least).
This won't get your XDA II charged though... but I think there is a serial sync and power cable available.
Best regards,

hi
thanks,
there is a cable, one with bare wires for wiring yourself or a serial i think...
how do i connect it to the XDA II though...
cheers

What do you mean? The serial sync cable attaches to your XDA sync port in one end, and has a female serial connector in the other end.
Then you get a serial cable for your GPS, which will probably leave you with a female serial in the "open" end too.
This is where the "crossover gender bender" comes into action, as you'll need a male-male adapter that have some of the pins crossed (any decent computershop should be able to sell you a serial crossover cable or an adapter).

hi...
no there is a cable from magellan that attaches to the GPS and the other end there are bare wires for your own use...
could i connect to the xDA II with these wires...
thanks for all you help so far...
maxd
Yes max, you will need a plug that fits the xda though, might be an idea to also input power for the xda through the same plug.
thanks again..
where can i get a connector for the XDAII and what wires go where...
cheers

I have just purchased a holder for my XDA2 which has a mini USB port on it and I want to connect my TomTom GPS receiver RJ11 connector it.
Does anybody have the same problem or a lead which i can use?
Thanks
if the rj11 connector have all the same connections and signal protocol as usb and maybe even a normal usb connector in the other end then you can buy a normal usb to miniUsb converter
The TomTom reciever has a RJ11 connector and i can not seem to find a converter from RJ11 to anything i.e. USB, Mini USB, etc.
Do you know of any places?
Pratik
well rj11 is a phone connector right ?
and you are sure it's even usb compatible signals running in it ?
i mean if it's analog modem data stuff then converting that signal to something which usb can work with would be a pile of work and end up being more expensive then getting a new gps
True.
RJ11 is a phone connector, but the information from the gps reciever is just being passed to the PDA holder which has a Mini USB connector in it, so I don't think any data conversion is necessary.
The RJ11 has 4 wires in it and the Mini USB has 5, maybe i need to open it up and desolder the mini USB and put in a RJ11 female connector, this then brings me down to pin-out etc.
Do you have any information regarding hte pin-outs?
Pratik
you can get a cable with a mini usb in one end and normal usb in the other if you can get a cable with a mini usb in one end and a female usb in the other then you can connect the usb to xda connector cable that way
of cause that way is way too long but it should make it rather possible to connect the xda to the holder then that is unless
the pda holder and miniUSB connector's signaling require the pda to be a usb host which the xda1 and 2 is not able to be
Maybe we are getting the wires crossed.
The following is a link to the holder

The XDA2 sits in the holder just fine and charges at the same time, as it has a connector on the holder, the problem is the GPS connector.
I don't understand your responce to the XDA being a host?

RJ-11 to Mini USB Adaptor
I have a pocket, USB Modem at home, and it is RJ-11 on one end, and Mini USB on the other.
Have you tried looking into something like this for a solution?
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
Guys,
Can anyone provide the pinout of the car charger for Diamond ? I mean the connector which goes directly to the mobile. My was broken and I need to solder it again. Only 2 cables (red & black) but 4 pins on the connector. Which one is going where ?
Thanks in advance
I bought some really cheap retractable cables of ebay. When I got them they didn't work at all. I opened and rewired the micro-usb connector - the cables were connected all wrong, but after a little soldering I think they're correct.
Now the cables are working fine with my Nokia N82, but when I connect them to my Desire and Desire HD my computer won't recognize it as USB devices, only charging.
I've looked at the pinout here http://www.kineteka.com/microusb-b.aspx - should pin 4 be connected to GND to use it with HTC?
Any tips?
I was curious of the pinout, thanks for the link.
As far as wether the pin should be grounded, well... if it's not working ATM ground it and see if it works? Since you're successfully charging the phone you know you connected the +5 correctly, grounding any other pins won't cause damage...
Cheers
P.S. Also sometimes good to check the obvious, did you enable the Mass-Storage option in Android?
I've had similar issues with USB 1.1 ports.
Are you connecting it to a USB 2 port??
