I work with serial interfaces all day and when I travel to work, having a way to interface the Imagio over serial would be fabulous!
So here I ask for all suggestions on how to do this and will be well taken.
The first thing that came to mind was that I could make a USB cable to interface with a RS232-USB converter as I would on any other windows computer. But does Windows Mobile have Plug And play??? How could I add such a communication port to the device ? And what about drivers? Has this being done before?
I had a few options and one of them was to use a Serial to Bluetooth adapter, I have tried one I got from KCWirefree some time ago and managed to send serial data both ways at diferent baud rate. Only issue is I have to reprogram the baud rate on the adapter each time which kills the purpose of the adapter it self.
So I found this,
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Which is closer to what I would like, if there is a way to use those data +/- then we could use a adapter the baudrate would only be changed on the HTC. Still looking...
I believe I have found some more answers...
In order to be able to connect this type of device I would need to have a
USB Host which I believe I have found:

http://rapidshare.de/files/45220151/__Zeno_USB_Host_Drivers_v6.0a.rar.html
It includes a few of the universal serial drivers and also some mass storage stuff...
I found a small adapter which I will be ordering/testing soon...

Can anyone advise if the mini USB out port could be used to connect the Hermes to an external touchscreen LCD monitor, e.g. as included in a built in car satnav system. I have a built in touchscreen satnav in my car (Subaru Legacy) and would love to hook my PDA up to it and use Tom Tom, WM and all my other PDA functions via this large touchscreen whilst on the move. I alraedy have a parrot MK6000 to handle the sound side of things.
no
usb host is required for a pda to use any other usb device
hermes dont have usb host
Thanks Rudegar - at lreast I have an answer and don't dismantle my car trying to find a way!
It's possible : http://www.spectec.com.tw/products_detal.asp?dptype=v1sdv842 This microSD SDIO cart with TVout allow you to show on big screen stright form PDA screen

Hi!
I'm new to this forum, but I'm not new to Windows mobile. I have a Canon 40D and I don't want to spend $300 for a remote controller so I want to make one myself. Now I found how to close a shutter on my canon 40D with a serial port:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(Full article: http://www.covingtoninnovations.com/dslr/CanonRelease40D.html)
But now the problem is: I don't have a serial port on my HTC Tytn. Now I have 2 choises:
One: I've found that mini-USB cannot send a RTS signal. I've found then a miniUSB to serial adapter: http://www.usbgear.com/computer_cab...&cats=199&catid=482,1303,199,461,106,1009,601
But can I connect that adapter to my HTC and send a signal to usb so the serial port can send out a RTS signal? Or do you need some specials drivers for that? I can program with C# but i'm not a pro so I can't program any drivers for my HTC
Two: Can I make the mini-USB port, on my HTC, trigger a relay? (I've also found this: http://www.soft82.com/download/mobile/relay-timer-ppc/ but you'll need a relay board for this that costs $120 and like I said i don't want to spend that money.)
Thx for help, but if you don't know how to manage that, it's no problem.
PS: sry for my english
I want to buy Dicota Beat . I just want to know. Does Dicota support the HD2?'

The question should be 'does Dicota support the HD2?' as you will need drivers from Dicota for the HD2 to recognise it I beleive.
seems very unlikely as it looks like a windows gamepad, not for mobile devices as shown by the usb connection at the end of the cable
No.
It's working perfectly on my Toshiba TG01 (WinMo 6.5, but has a "real" USB host that accepts USB pens, keyboard, mouse, etc)
Using the HIDgamep.dll drivers I've found here, at XDA and a new key in the registry, it was working perfectly (I used it for FpseCE mainly)
But I've tried to do exactly the same on my HD2 in vain, the gamepad is not recognized.
The only strange thing that occured, is that as long as my dicota gamepad was plugged, my screen ratated to landscape when I clicked on "start" and was back to normal for the today screen.
I wonder if it was not recognized like kind of a keyboard.....
What is the probability of future work of the Dicota ?
Sorry for my english , I'm using google translate
Is there any progress?
Hi,
i was thinking how i can fix a cabel for USB host for the HD2
i came to this idea: a USB Female To Female adapter,
what will happen if you connect your data cable to 1 side, and a USB Stick in the other side? will it work?
here's a pic:

Doesn't work mate. The HD2 does not work as a USB host.

then i thing you should see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=638201
and see your Register on your HD2..
OR google it,
Hey Mitchell,
Unfortunately this would not work directly since the HD2 does not power the external devices currently, you would need to create a modified wire that connects the power lines from the external usb device to some other power source (maybe a pc usb socket)
but this connector could be useful in allowing you to create this wire without having to hack up a hd2 usb cable itself.

As above .
There is also the problem I didn't mention that Cotulla never released the driver for this and since Cotulla has not been around for a while now it seems that this project is suspended indefinitely.
Hello people!
I own a Samsung Galaxy S2 (I9100) and I've been fantasizing with a very particular MOD.
I've seen this Blutooth Sliding Keyboard cases:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But I would like to get it working thorugh OTG, and take advantage of the extra height o add a USB port for USB DRIVES using an integrated USB hub.
This way I wouldnt need to carry around an OTG cable, and wouldnt have the constant drain beause of the BT pairing.
My main roadblock at this time is wether I could get the keyboard working through USB (bypass the bluetooth interface) so it could get recognized by the phone.
Once I can sort this out, the rest of the mod should be quite straightforward.
I dont own the keyboard case yet, so If anyone has some previous modding experience could shed some light on the bluetooth matter, it would be of tremendous help!
Thanks a lot in advance.
I don't have the first idea how to do this but I am very interested!
I like a physical keyboard and I've had to import from the US or stick with very outdated phones....
