Line-In or ext.mic. - possible in stereo?

Hello people,
i would like to connect an external mic. to my Blue Angel,
and i allready know about the pin assignment of both connectors (22pin or 2,5mm plug).
My question is:
is the analog to digital converter in the blue angel able to do stereo?
if yes, (where) can i solder a stereo line-in to the curcuit?
btw., i'm very happy i found this (wonderful) forum...
merry X-Mas to all of you!

'Philips UDA1380' chip -> stereo sampling!
on that page:
http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/BlueAngel
they say that BA uses a 'Philips UDA1380' chip
and they have a link for a datasheet (68 pages, pdf) for that chip:
http://www.nxp.com/acrobat_download/datasheets/UDA1380_4.pdf
'Philips UDA1380' chip is capable of doing stereo sampling,
so a BA could be a stereo recorder!
if anybody knows how this could be done,
please give me a hint ...

some things i found:

... if anybody knows if it would work to solder an line-in to the chip
and use that line in for 44khz/16bit stereo recordings,
please let me know...

Well, I took a look at the hi-res photos of the boards on the wiki here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/files/naked-blue-insane.jpg
and if you rotate the image around 180 degrees, I think the chip in question will be in the top centre of the image on the right.
From looking at the photo, these pins are already hooked up to something. They might even be connected to the same thing, it's hard to tell from the photo. I've not opened my BA myself as it's under guarantee.

hi fraser,
yes, that one is the chip, and yes, it looks like all pins are soldered to the board, but i'm quite sure that they are not connected to anything,
because there is no 'line-in" anywhere on the board (not even a stereo line signal), and thats the purpose of pin 27&29...
the blue angel mic(s) (internal and external) are quite sure connected to pin 31.
i have 2 problems:
1.
i don't know if it's ok to connect an external line to the chip directly,
or if there have to be some 'signal tweak' before sending it into the chip
2.
i don't know if the 'default' driver is able to 'receive' or use stereo signals
- is there some sort of 'software mixer', like in a regular windows pc?
i really need help from an electronics guru...

This is cool
This program is cool, very fast, gives a new life to your shift, i wish we could connect the gps, phone and other snapvue stuff to it.

You can use GPSGate to connect the GPS data to the Vista/XP side.

I tried but it doesn't find the GPS with destinator.
Igo8_pc works fine and it finds the GPS very quick but, when I use it inside Centrafuse it can't find the GPS

do you disable the 3G on WM side, do you activate the USB Tool on WM side and connect on Windows Side with active sync? then use GPS gate..

FM Transmitter App

Hi
I'm looking to buy a FM Transmitter for the HTC Magic and i'm wondering if there is any applications that would allow me to use the phone+transmitter like a CB or anything close to it. Would anything allow me to broadcast a signal ?
thanks

Nope... Only fm transmitter available is to send into your car speaker.

EDIT: Just found SkyChatter that could do something similar to CB but with text msg.

Pretty much the same thing as many of the new china Tablets .
The firmware uses cramfs , but I've found another firmware that works,,,, BUT since it's made to be used with a touchscreen no USB or remote is working.
Is there anyone who has an idea on what to to..
The firmware i used to flash the box with is rooted and that's really all I need.

Haha
Very cute . But I'm not sure if it was so helpfull...

Meh - just reread the question. If you can't install anything on it then I don't see what you can do. Reflash back to stock and leave it in a working state.

Well
I don't agree... I currently have the stock FW installed but I wan't to root the device to make 100% use of the hardware

Concept: Android system with multiple inputs and outputs

I'm well behind the curve on Android in the car and I'm not sure this is even the right place for it but I have a concept for a system and I'm not sure whether the current state of the art permits it. But here goes anyway.
The car is exotic and rare: a Renault Avantime. Here's the cockpit:

}
You'll note that it's a work of art (may not be to your taste but it's one of those rare beasts; a concept show car that actually went into production). So I don't want to mess with it too much. You'll also note that there's a bump with a Satnav screen (factory system: old VDO/Dayton thing) on top of the dash. There's also a large flap cover forward of the gearshift; that covers a double-DIN hole which was used for the factory CD and satnav controls panel. The factory radio is a headless unit under the seat which runs a dashboard display and steering wheel controls - with a remote for more complex functions.
What I want to install is an Android system with multiple inputs and outputs. The primary display would take the place of the flap forward of the gearshift. The brains of the thing may or may not be integrated into that display.
Inputs would consist of:
- a cabin webcam used for Skype etc.
- a backup camera (no factory fit)
- a forward-looking thermal camera for night vision
The primary touchscreen display would be in front of the gearshift as described. The existing Satnav display would be adapted for a secondary screen (probably not a touchscreen; just a display): normally it would show Google Maps - or some other app for nav data. But it would be selectable via software to display the backup camera view, the thermal camera view, or the Skype display when in a Skype video call.
Obviously the unit would need to be capable of controlling and driving an external AM/FM receiver/amp for that side of the entertainment functionality.
Is any Android system capable of handling these multiple inputs and outputs? The ability to display specific apps on the secondary display is kinda crucial to what I want to do here; are there any general solutions to getting multiple video streams into and out of an Android device? Or would I be better considering a bespoke car PC based on Linux or something? Any suggestions gratefully received.
