Does anybody know how to 2 Bluetooth Serial ports on the XDAII ?
I am using Pocket Bluetooth Tools to give me a Bluetooth Serial Port. However I only get COM7 appear in the dropdown list when I bond a SPP Bluetooth device.
This has been fine for a couple of years as I only had a Serial Port Plug for plugging into equipment instead of using a Comm1 Cable and I run a VT100 Terminal Program.
However I have now got TomTom and have a Bluetooth GPS receiver. I am getting tired of having to delete one SPP device and then rebond the other to the only Com7 Port.
There must be a way of having 1 on Com7 and the other on another virtual serial port, but as I said earlier only Com7 appears on my XDA ?????????????

Hi All!
I have made a cable to connect the MDA III to my Royaltek RGM 2000 GPS device.
It works great but I don't understand one thing:
The documentation on this site says that MDAIII has rs232 interface (+-12V),
the documenation of the RGM 2000 says it only drives a TTL serial port.
I connected both device directly without a MAXIM IC.
How can that work?
Now I try to connect the GPS device to my PC over a MAXIM TTL to RS232 converter and I get only trash on my PC terminal.
Should I also connect the GPS device directly to serial port of my PC?
Please help!
I don't want the crash my GPS device!
Next week I will get my xda orbit and I should like to know, how to establish a connection with a serial device . Is there a converter to the usb conector or a possibility to manage it over Bluetooth or IR?
Is the orbit a usb host or only a client? Maybe there are adapters for a host device.
Thank you

Hi!
Is there a way to use the GPS receiver that is built into the Artemis as a GPS Device for Windows (XP or Vista).
Maybe over Bluetooth or USB / ActiveSync connection.
I tried to set up Bluetooth COM Ports so Incoming BT connections connect directly to the GPS COM port, but without success... no gps data was coming through.
Also I search for a small tool to test the receiver... just a compass or something.
regards,
Daniel
You cannot just "bridge" the GPS com port to your desktop OS via BT. The BT stack was never designed that way. All BT com ports you use must have a piece of software behind it to fill it with data, or otherwise they are just empty cans.
In your case, you need a GPS splitter to get gps signals from the GPS com port, and then repeat it to a BT com port so that the other end can receive such signal. That will provide a working bridge for your data.
Try software such as gpsgate that works as described above.
Hello, you can try GPS2Blue is a little free program that will let you use your Artemis as a GPS.
You can find it here: http://users.skynet.be/hofinger/GPS2Blue.html
Enjoy.
i got myself GPS2Blue and installed it.
My problem now is, that i cannot set up a BT COM port!
I have the (german) B&Bv3 ROM (WM6). In Bluetooth Settings in the "COM Ports"-Tab. It says "Tap on 'New outgoing port' ..." but theres no button or something. Just the describing text and an empty ListBox.
since I cannot set up my COM port, GPS2Blue won't swich on right?
So... is this a WM6 bug or a B&B Bug or my brain-bug
Setting up COM ports in my firmware WM5 OS worked just fine.
Thanks you guys for the info!
but what to do now?
GPSgate can do what you want (but it is not free)
gpsgate can set up bluetooth com ports? i dont think so
this is not a gps problem anymore!
i posted a new thread for my new problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315687
GPSGate can do it!!
Use this is the registration key:AmzeaBjw
Then your Artemis can pass GPS information to your PC through Bluetooth
Fransons GPS Gate will enable the sharing of GPS position to a number of different types of device, I am not too sure about posting a registration key for purchased software as these are specific to an individual user??? - Mike
Hi guys
I just got a Dash and I am trying to setup a incoming com port. I used to have a SDA and I had the options to select incoming com port and out going com port.
Also I was wondering if anyone can tell me why after I pair my device with my computer I cant see serial port as a option on my computer. On my phone it list Wireless Stereo, Serial Port, and Headset but on computer I can only see:
Network Access Point
OBEX Object Push
Voice Gateway
Thanks
Is it possible to use a Touch Pro2 GPS on a laptop via bluetooth?
I wouldnt bother. You can probably get a gps reciever for your comp for pretty cheap. Then you wouldnt have to use your phone at all. Using your phone as a gps reciever and sending the signal to your laptop might run your phones battery dead faster, so if you were gonna use your phone as gps reciever, youd probly want to use usb rather than bluetooth, then the phone is charging and you have your bluetooth freed up for phone calls. But I would still suggest a reciever for your laptop, you wouldnt have to bother hooking your phone up n setting everything up every time you want to use gps
But yes i believe it is possible, Im pretty sure I saw a program for windows phones somewhere, that did send the phones gps info thru bluetooth to comp
It is called GPS2Blue and I never had any luck with it on bluetooth, but have via USB.
i just tried gps2blue again after years , now with rhodium and could get to work both tcp -> com and bluetooth -> com
WORKS GREAT with garmin on my tablet pc. and garmin-pc is even kind of made the way to use it on touch screens.
what do you have for a software?
here's what I have done:
cable:
on PC, install the Czech program called 'virtual serial port for tcp/ip'
Instructions where to get it and how to set it are here: http://users.skynet.be/hofinger/GPS2BlueFAQ.html#USB
on pda in gps2blue check TCP and choose com4 (or your gps SW EMULATED com port)
in gps program on pc choose to connect to the com port you just created with 'virtual serial port'
bluetooth:
choose com2 in gps2blue and click ON, rhodium's bluetooth manager should popup asking what to do, create a new port for your PC and go.
there is a little mess with this, it created two com2 ports on pda, till one was asking for a pairing code, the other just get connected. And is not showing them in list, or sometimes showing one, but then not showing activesync port. But nevermind. it's working.
