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

CARCOMM car kit with wired TOMTOM GPS on the XDA2

Can someone help?
I have a carcomm cradle with the convertor to connect it to the Tomtom navigator.
When I try to connect I cant find a port in the tomtom software that works. My XDA 2 doesnt seem to have a com 1.
Does anyone know how to connect them together as I cant find any info on the web.
Go to settings/connections/beams and uncheck the incoming beams box. You will now have com 1 available to use.

MDA PRO and TOMTOM problems.. please help :(

Hi,
I'm hoping someone out there will be kind enough to help and solve this problem before I rip all my hair out!!!
I've installed tomtom (V5.00) on my mda pro, but I can't get it to recognise my bluetooth gps receiver.
I've set up a bluetooth partnership with an outgoing COM port. My MDA allows me to choose COM0 ,COM4,COM8
When I select other Bluetooth device from Tom Tom configuration, it gives me the options:
QCT Data Interface
Serial Cable on COM1
COM7
RIL on COM6
Infrared Port
Ir on COM3
I can't seem to align the software and the bluetooth to get it working correctly. Please help
Update your application to at least version 5,21 to get this working, have a look at http://www.tomtom.com/support/index.php?Language=1&FID=3361 for the software - Mike
Apart from the 5.21 and above (current is 6.03) software requirement, many users also have to set a COM port your MDA offers you (i.e. COM0) manually in the navigator.cfg (or was it .dat, donĀ“t remember,try) file where the COM is stored that TT is using. Just change to navigator.txt, edit and change back to .cfg Good luck.

Big Trouble with USB :(

...first of all, my configuration:
G3 Wizard (i-mate branded)
- IPL/SPL 2.18
- radio 2.37.11
- NBD 7.4 touch
my phone works perfect all time but 1 hour ago I've connected it to my pc and SURPRISE: no power light and no charging....
O__o i've changed my usb cable but...nothing!
I've tried to connect to power usb cable (original shipped with my wiz...): nothing at all....PANIC!!!!
hard reset....no solution!
i've tried to connect cable very slowly and...now it's charging but....
...NO ACTIVESYNC!!!
i've tried to connect/disconnect some times and power charging is perfect but NO activesync...
ANY IDEA????
------
extra info: last efficient connection is via WM5torage to a customer notebook...and it works ok
now...also via WM5torage NO DATA TRANSFERT
in bootloader mode it connects...and i downgraded succesfully to last official wm5 italia i-mate rom.
...but no connection
did you try another computer? or the power adapter that plugs into the wall?
yes, of course!

...it's a good question: too many times it's a joke...but not now.
i've tried in 3 computers...and the response is the same: NO connection, no "usb error"...nothing...only power charging....
If I put (with camera button and softreset) in bootloader mode it's ok...
"bip" on computer and USB un the bottom of the tuchscreen.
I've upgraded anothet time to NBD 7.4 but...
NO CONNECTION
This doesnt really belong in the wm6 forum i think. but maybe you also got a bad activesync on the computer, just start everything fresh again
...usb activesync now works!
after 7 (seven) downgrade and upgrade wm6 -> wm5 -> xda6 -> wm5 -> xda6r2 -> wm5 & so on....
ACTIVESYNC NOW WORKS!!!!
(obviously SAME computer, same Activesync 4.5, same USB port/cable)
i don't know why....but...
I'm HAPPY
thanks to all!

I had a problem like that once, I discovered it was my firewall blocking me out of active sync. I had outpost firewall, I disabled it and it connected perfectly

Yeah I use Cisco VPN for my work, and it screws up ActiveSync at times. Sometimes allows my phone to connect with no problem, and othertimes won't allow activesync to see my phone. Usually turning off the enhanced check box in the USB to PC connections settings will get around it, but not always.

Similar problem
This may possibly not be the solution but I had a similar problem. I have an O2 xda mini s and after several days searching I discovered the problem. I opened up the xda and discovered that where the mini usb was soldered to the board, one of the solder points had come loose. The usb was not loose enough to stop the xda charging. By pressing down on the loose solder point the xda immediately showed up and syncing with my pc. I have now resoldered the usb back down and it works fine.
I hope that this is not the problem as it is damned fiddly soldering it back in place.
Hope this helps
I solved my problem
Hello Friends..
I have solve my problem,
I opened the k-jam and renewed the point of usb port with solder machine.
Now it is well working. Charging and sync.
If you have similar problem so i think you can try this one.
But i think you must very carefully.
Solder machine must be very thin.

Have you been using some kind of holder for your wizard on your car?
I have seen several USB connectors with a bad attachment to the PCB because it has been used with car Holders that had the USB fixed.

External TMC adapter?

Hi all.
I followed most of the activity around here for the past 5 monsths or so, and noticed several topics about the TD's internal FM radio for possible RDS/TMC usage. All without much luck.
Recently I bought a standalone TMC adapter (Navigon Trafficbox) with mini-USB connector. However I don't seem to get the thing to function at all. iGO 8 doesn't detect it, iGO 2006 and MioMap 3.2 detect it even without plugging it is (-_-) and Navigon Mobile 7 only goes for Bluetooth adapters.
Does anyone have any experience with standalone adapters on TD, know whether the USB port is mapped to a virtual COM port (and if so: which) or how to sniff the USB port to see whether the adapter is even transmitting data?
I do not believe diamond has a usb-host service to even let devices connect via that port.
I think only a bluetooth tmc reciever is usable.
