Hello!
i've got two questions about the MDA 1 using in my car. After making me an freehands facitlity, there are two little problems at all.
a) I want to mount the GPS connector plug whit glue on my MDA cradle. This will work, i mean, but i must remove the two metal pins on the sides of the connector to be able to set and remove the MDA. Will this work or is it the ground of the plug???
b) Yes, there are a lot of topics about MDA and external antenna. I have the idear to use an antenna connector from nokia. there will be some one for Nokia 3310 like this (http://www.tele55.de/shop/produkte/5/84/054194.htm) and so on. will this work?? Has someone tested this or knows a better way to use the MDA whit external antenna?
THANKS a lot for any answer !!!!

Hi!
Anyone fonud out until now where to get the 22pin connector for the MDA/XDA III device? It has changed a bit from the iPAQ 3800 style, so accessoires for I/II won´t work
Furthermore, has the pinout changed?
What I need is a cable for connecting my GPS-reciever, or the parts to build one.
Thanks in advance,
Danyel
OH NO, you are saying that the MDA II accessoried, chargers, etc., won't work with the MDA III?
Well, it looks like that...
I have an USB-sync-cable, car charger and my GPS-reciever. Without forcing the plug it won´t fit into the new connector.
The new one has a gab on one side and two little pits wich fit into gaps in the devices connector.
I´ll post a picture of the old and the new one... MDA III´s camera is not quite good for macro-photos.
Well, I have "reconfigured" my old GPS- and USB-cable. It´s just takeing away some of the plastic on the connector. Both cables work fine for the MDA III now, take a look at the picture:
hey folks,
i try my best english!!!!

i got the qtek2020 from vodafone D2. now i want to plug my usb gps reciever with sirfII chipset to the pda. 5v for the usb power comes from accus. this wouldn't be the problem i think. but how i figure it out which connectors of the pda are the right connectors for die TX and RX of the reciever? and the final question: is this what i want to do (usb pc gps reciever at pda) possible?
if you want t answer me in pm dann auf deutsch ;-)
thanks.

Therefor you´ll need a USB to serial converter, as far as I know.

22 pin adaptor for QTEK 9090
hi, you need original connector you can try with 2020 22 pin but after some days or week you will damage you QTEK 9090 and you not be able to use anymore the connector! i suggest you to buy ORIGINAL see here available : http://www.bluetrade.fr/achat/produit_details.php?id=76226
i hope i'm logged in now!
to dev_dme you missunderstood me? i have an usb gps mouse so i need a seriell one. and there are no converter from seriell to usb.
to last guest
i think i posted in fals thread. i have a qtek 2020!!!! no 9090.
There are USB to serial converters made by Iogear, search the web. You would have to redue the cable to connect to your Qtek. But since you have bluetooth, though the old one away and get a blue tooth GPS, much nicer.
converters from usb TO seriell but not from seriell TO usb. i'm right?
The USB driver was on laptop to change the port to a serial port but the communication was bidirectional.
You could also look at maxim semiconductors, I know they make a chip that converts serial to USB but I couldn't find it.

but i need usb to seriel converter..... i want to use an usb device at a seriell port
They have a device, I saw it in EE Times twice (as I said I need that) that will do exactly what your looking for. It would connect to a USB device, takecare of all the protocal and then spit out serial bits of the data. I beleive the formating (USB-serial bin/ASCII, bit ording) was able to be changed via reg settings.
maybe search EE times website.

Well, your GPS mouse is a USB client (slave). You can only connect it to a USB host (master), which the XDA II is not. So you would need an adapter that contains a USB host. As paulmc says, they seem to exist, but seem to work only with "big" Windows (they need drivers), and I am quite sure they are really expensive.
I really recommend you get either a Bluetooth or a regular serial GPS mouse. Both are easy to connect to an XDA II.

hello folks,
information for all users they helped me: now i bought a holux gm 210 gps receiver with ps2 connector. it should be one of the best.
but now new questions:
1. is there a german plattform like this in the internet? which one?
2. how can i get 5VDC from a the 12VDC connector in a car? i dont need 4,5 or 6V!!!!
3. who know anythink about the holux gm210 voltage supply (spannungsversorgung). how much V need the gm 210? exactly 5VDC?
thanks
bye Christian

1. There are several. Try www.pocketnavigation.de for a start.
2. There are voltage regulators you can buy. But be very careful, the voltage in a car is full of spikes and other nasty things. You need a good voltage regulator if you don't want to endanger your new Holux. The usual solution is to buy a holder for the PDA that also has a connector for the GPS mouse. This gives you a well filtered voltage for your mouse.

maybe its silly but i dont wanna buy i want to build it by myself.
because i want biuld an accu-charger for my qtek too. it should supply the gps mouse too!!!
i cant describe it better in english. damn..... :evil:
also i need thias speciial pda connector for the mdaII (aka qtek 2020). where can i buy it for low?
and some more important for me: i need information for the pins. what pin for which signal?
Does anyone know if the pin-setup for the 'blue angel' aka Qtek9090 is different then the 'Himalaya' aka Qtek2020?
I want to connect an external speaker and microphone to it (described here) but i'm not sure if the pin-layout is the same :roll:
Thanks!
Grtz,

anyone found the pinout for QTEK9090(Blue Angel) yet ?
please share.
Hi,
I own exactly the same keyboard as shown at the bottom of this page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/Connectors
It's used for a HP 4150.
Now, I just like to modify it to use it with a Wallaby (O2 XDA).
The picture on the page mentioned above shows a connector that fits the Wallaby.
I already opened the case of the keyboard because I thought it was just a matter of resoldering some wires in the connector according the table mentioned on the page above.
However I found out that the connector is soldered onto a small circuitboard that fits in the connector, so I guess I need to have exactly the same circuitboard but then for a different connector.
Also, there are some wires that lead to the powerconnector on the left back side (wich is also mounted on a small circuitboard)
The powerplug of the Wallaby does NOT fit into this powerconnector so that needs to be replaced as well (including the small circuitboard).
And there is my problem:
Where do I get this connector (including the circuitboard that fits in the HPkeyboard) ?
I live in the netherlands so I think I need to order it somewhere on the internet.
Can anybody give me some advice?
Thanks in advance

nobody?
Hi,
after a drop, my top keys (Mail and IE) stopped working properly, they no longer have a pressure point. So every time I put my Hermes (HERM300) to my head, I start Outlook and IE.
I haven't found that little board to buy as a spare part, and it seems to be connected to the display-connector.
But if someone has that little board left, I would be able to unsolder the 2 switches and put them into my Hermes (I'm used to solder SMD 0402 parts )
Hi
Please excuse me being a newbie with a slightly odd question
Someone recently gave me an old HTC Himalaya to play with (O2 XDA II). The 'phone had been dropped and wouldn't charge up. Taking the battery out and charging it separately I was able to get the 'phone working fine.
I dismantled it to find that the 22-pin connector for power and data had completely detached itself and it fell out of the case. The pins were badly bent so I soldered power lines directly to the main board and it charges fine.
Now... what I really want to use this 'phone for is the heart of a vehicle diagnostics system (written in Pocket Zeus) so I need a working RS232 connection. I used Bluetooth to transfer a couple of test programs to the 'phone and they are showing that Com 1 won't open, but Com 2 and 3 will.
Can anyone tell me which ports the RS232 connections on the Himalaya match up to? In particular the port on the 22-pin connector. I can hardwire a 9-PIN D serial plug to this connection if I can get the port open.
Many thanks in advance and all help greatly received.
