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

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!
Hi all,
This forum being the greatest about HTC, I think you guys will have the answer :
I would like to use my TyTN to connect to the console of a router (using serial connection) :
1. Does anyone know where I could find a miniUSB-DB9 adapter ?
2. Will there be a driver for serial port, or is it natively managed with COM ?
Such cables exist but for PC, but not miniUSB and with a Windows driver, no info about the same thing for PocketPC.
Anyone knows ?
Thanks

Understood the problem..
Hi all,
AFAI understood I cannot find a solution due to the lack of USB Host support in the TyTN. I still wonder if the port can be used in direct low level serial mode as you see in bootloader. Could WinMobile use it ?
Another way would be to have a device that would be usb host, putting the phone into slave mode, but maybe I dream...
Thanks for any reply..
there is a bluetooth to serial adaptor which has been reported to work with the tytn.
COM1
Hi,
After much googleing there's still hope. Windows Mobile presents a COM port : 'COM1 via cable' and in the specs of the TyTN there is RS232 communication.
I still cannot figure out if the miniUSB connector pins could be simply mapped to the corresponding RS232 signals. Probably not
Anyway I flashed the XDA-Live wm6 ROM and it's great ! the battery seem to last longer (still 70% after 2 days!)
Thanks to the xda-dev community
Hello everybody
I would like to connect my HTC TyTn II to a device which is using a RS232 for a serial connection. The software I need is running under Windows Mobile 6.1. So what I need is a device to "convert" the USB into a RS232. For PC such things are can be easily bought but I have not yet found something similar for Windows Mobile 6.1 and MiniUSB.
Have I overlooked something (maybe it was to obvious) or do those device really not exist ?
Can you guys help ?
Thanks
Michael
Hm, I believe you can do COM connections over bluetooth (I believe the phone simulates a COM port over bluetooth). You might want to look for a Bluetooth to COM adaptor (don't know whether this exists, though).
even if you found a converter and one could just use one of the many rs232 to normal usb dongles and then a usb to miniusb converter
but it would never work
because to use those conveters the device is required to support usbHost which HTC TyTn II don't
Hi Gues,
could that work, to run a qteck 9090 as WeatherStation Interface between Internet (over internal SIM) and a WeatherStation ?
wview project? oder WeatherDisplay?
Is the USB Interface Docking able to provide Interface for other resources than an PC?
regards

starting with the usb: no.
the blueangel has no chance of being a usb host, it is a client like a flash drive or an external hard disk, which means, since there can be no client-client connections there, you cannot attach any other hardware to the blueangel for it to use.
i don't know exactly what you have in mind there, since the first sentence is hard to understand, but you can use the BA as a remote client to connect to a host system over wireless communications like gprs, wlan or bluetooth, and control or oversee the host and manage it.
if, on the other hand, you were planning to use the BA as a "thin client" to connect a weatherstation directly to, to send you the relevant data, it would probably not work, because of the usb host issue.
