I'm trying to add a GPS receiver to my iPAQ rx4240 and I need to find an attachment point for a serial (UART) port from the processor. Does anyone have access to a schematic or what pins on the PCB I could use?
Someone please reply? (bump)
The ITRC forums would be your best bet.
After all, P != TC. (Pressure is not the same as distance.)

Hey everyone, I'm trying to Wire a iGPS-180 for my SX56... the original wiring was for an iPAQ 3100-3700... I've got the pinouts for the SX56 but I was wondering if anyone knew what the pinout for an iPAQ 3100-3700 were? I'm tying to trace these wires so I know which one is which because the color codes given in another post do not match what I have.
Thanks,
MMC
One more thing... when I plug everything in and try to Enable GPS it gives me a communication error and says that in can't open communication port... I'm using OSTIA 3.25, Do I need a higher version?
Go to settings/connections and uncheck "beams" if it is checked you will have no com1 port which is the port the wired gps wants to use, also if you have a keyboard driver present you will need to disable the driver.
You're a frickn' Genius!!!! You just solved 24 hours of head scratching
THANKYOU!!!
Hello,
I have looked at the pinouts on the Wiki for the Wallaby and Himalaya and was wondering if it was the same on the Alpine, so that I could hook up to the serial console port on a switch to manage it locally. I have installed Putty and it looks as though it provides the right functions, just the lead to worry about now.
Has anyone done it, or have any advice?
Thank you,
Andrew
the pinout is the same, I have used a serial gps with my apline so i know the serial port is correct and functional
as far as i know for comms you only need TxD, RxD and ground (wired to 2,3 and 5 on a 9 pin serial port)
Thank you Maltloaf, I have a spare USB and serial leads here so I will give it a whirl later.
Thanks again,
Andrew
I thought I would just report on the fact it works perfectly. I made a fully occupied serial lead (null modem type) and have been happily administrating the access points. It was a total pain in the backside to solder to those little tiny connections but it was worth it.
Thank you,
Andrew
I'm trying to make a carkit for a Alpine so i need the pinout of the bottom connector. Is it the same as the Himalaya?
They're similiar structually and in appearance, so i'd imagine they'd be the same. Don't quote me on that though
Hi, did you have any success?
Thanks...
I'm working out the details now, so when i have it working i'll let it know.
Hey all,
I was wondering if it is possible to communicate with an Arduino with a Tilt through the Tilt's USB port? I've just gotten into device application development and I had a cool idea I was wanting to make but the biggest hurdle is how to communicate between the Arduino microcontroller and the Tilt.
For those that don't know what an Arduino is (I feel sorry for you ), it is a microcontroller platform based off of the AVR Atmel168 processor. The version I've got on hand right now is a Seeeduino that has a mini-USB port on-board communicating to the Atmel168 through an FTDI USB-Serial chip (shows up as a serial port when plugged into the computer). It would be great if the Arduino showed up as a new serial port on the phone when plugged in, but I doubt it will be that easy. Does anyone know if the Tilt/Kaiser USB port can host other devices?
If anyone has a suggestion or has tried something like this, please comment. Or if I'm just crazy for thinking the phone can do this, tell me so.
Thanks all!

Im not sure how much this could help, but it may get you off to a good start http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480899
i noticed it said serial port in there somewhere, so i hope it helps!
You can have a try with the drivers mentioned above. If this fails, hook a Bluetooth module to your Arduino and forget about wires
When I was waiting for a haircut today, I was fiddling in the task manager and looked at the devices tab. Just thought I'd run these by you all:
Com 8: serialusbfn.dll (\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\Serial_Class)
Com 9: Serial_UART.dll (Drivers\BuiltIn\SERIAL_UART3)
I haved searched around or messed with these yet but what in the world could com 8 be being used for right now?

P.S. I did see that link and that will be the next thing I'll try, Thanks!
AFAIK there are some internal peripherals that are connected to the main processor through serial ports. That might be those.
Use I2C - you can get at it through the DS2746... when looking at the PCB on the side with all of the metal-enclosed areas, it's on the left, and towards the bottom (IIRC)... should be able to run 4 wires (get a ribbon cable) out the bottom (into the battery compartment)...
I've been considering this seriously... I2C is a damn useful bus, and it's underused in this device (only battery chip, touch screen, and camera control, AFAIK)....
The bus itself is two wires - SDA (data) and SCL (clock), and you'll also need +5v and ground.
Would be nice to hook up a spare ds1621 (you can get these as free samples) or a compass/accelerometer chip
hi, I am new towards hardware. I am a computer programmer with some knowledge of electronics.
I have connected ADXL335(Accelero) with raspberry pi. ADXL335 gives analog output so somehow i have learned i need to use ADC. I bought an ADC0831CCN but cant understand the pin configuration and how to use it to get values on raspberry pi.
Can any one please help.
Thank you
