xda as an oscilloscope?

:idea: Hi all, I've just joined the forum. Does anyone know of a pda oscilloscope program like SPECTRA PLUS OR WIN SCOPE for the PC?
Any links to electronic programs for x/pda would be of interest.
Has anyone attempted their own interface or modified eg IRDA for longer range (tv remote)?

im sure you can replace the LED with a 'brighter' (tho invisible) LED!
...but, how about a DIALER/DIAL TONE DECODER program aye?
somethin that can decode dial tones and display them?!
say... IF you have taped phone calls, and u like to know the # dialed :roll:

Thats a great idea. Has anyone been able to boost the IR output?

Keyboard for typing with all ten fingers?

Hi,
could anybody help me?
I try to find a keyboard for 10 finger typing with MDA Compact. What I need is:
- full number of rows i.e. 5 rows incl. space because of local characters typing - not like e.g. Stowaway IR keyboard
- full 19 mm space between keys - not like e.g. Javoedge keyboard
- standard positioning of rows PC-like, for example space between "1" and "2" is approx in the middle of "Q" - not like e.g. HP ipaQ bluetooth keyboard
My ideal solution for TRGpro (Palm OS) was Targus Stowaway keyboard. For MDA compact I haven't found any... I even do not ask for foldable keyboard... Maybe a smaller, "notebook like" blutetooth keyboard.
Thank you for any help

Try the Apple Bluetooth Wireless Pro Keyboard.
ITs a bit big to carry, but its great as a keyboard and nice to type on.

Thanks a lot for an idea, uh, really a bit big...

Have you seen this

I also saw somewhere a gizmo that allows a full size keyboard to be used with pocket pc, dont know if that would help.

Thanks again, but for 10 finger typing without seeing you really need to be in touch with real keys.

Maybe something interesting for now
Hi, I have found "Motion's Bluetooth Mobile keyboard", see at: http://www.motioncomputing.com/products/motion_accessories.asp
They do not want to confirm that it will work with my MDA Compact, see the communication below. Could anybore more experienced here say it SHOUD work?
Thanks
-----------------
Martin,
The keyboard should ideally work with any device using bluetooth. The reality of it however is that sometimes drivers conflict, and make it difficult to pair with certain devices. Our Bluetooth Keyboard is only tested for our tablet, but many people use it with other devices. We do not however make any guarantees that it will work with any device other than our tablets.
Thank you for contacting Motion Computing

I know it might sound obvious but the O2 BT foldable keyboard is truly excellent by all accounts (a colleague has one) - decent useable size but folds up reasonably small too.

Apple BT keyboard
I use a Apple pro keyboard (USB) on my thinkpad when I´m at home - and love it!
Can anybody confirm that it works with the Magician?

No phone has USB host, so no the USB keyboard will not work.
You need a Bluetooth Keyboard at least.

I was talking about the bluetooth version of that apple keyboard (which I don`t own) I know that (at least the software) of the phone doesn`t support usb host capacity. Sorry if I didn`t make myself clear...
So, anybody ever used the keyboard with the mini?

If god would have meant man to type on light, he would have given him fingers made of shadows :wink:

Fuh, seems still no solution for me: I am not sure about O2 BT foldable keyboard branding, but I think this is the keyboard with the shifted upper row (see my first post)
- Btw no response from Motion after I had asked them about the international delivery possiblity
... and Apple bluetooth keyboard is really too big to fit to my briefcase.

I'll check and try to get you a photo.

2 second question: Screensaver, useful or not?

In the context of a screensaver's traditional use, that of preventing screen "burn," is one at all useful for the Blue Angel?

LCD doesnt burn in AFAIK

Thanks, I believe you're right about that.

you're in indonesia.... whehehe akhirnya ada teman sebangsa dan senegara...

G-Sensor compass APP ?

Hi
Anyone seen a simple digital compass that uses the GPS and G-Sensor?
I know there are loads of GPS apps that provide a compass and, of course, the HD will need some initial directional input to get a compass bearing. But, after that start-up would it not be possible to provide a compass movement based on the G-Sensor ?
Thanks, D.

You mean that the g-sensor could sense the magnetic field on earth? That would be great but a think its a bit optimistic.
I cant figure out why such advanced devices dont have a digital compass. A map+gps used for walking is almost useless when you dont have a compass, and the gps can only give you a bering at a sertain speed (usually faster than walking)

Noop - that was not what I meant - sorry if not clear.
What I mean is the G-Sensor is able to detect direction of the device. So, once the HD has got some compass bearing (using the GPS after travelling for a while) then the G-Sensor should be able to provide a compass bearing?
The main problem is getting that initial bearing. After than the G-Sensor should allow the HD to keep track of bearings?

my opinion : inside the HD, it's just G sensors (able to "feel" where is the weight of the device pointing, ie "where is the center of the earth").
What you describe could be achieved with (and i would say at least 2, 3 being even better) ACCELEROMETERS, devices able to MEASURE accelerations. THEN it would be able to follow a bearing after giving it an initial one. (what you describe looks actually like the basic function of how airplanes IRS, Inertial Reference Systems, works. Which is a major instrumentation for aircraft navigation, comprising 3 accelerometers ).

My suggestion on a compass was initiated by seeing the funny (but useless!) Diamond Saber - star wars laser sword.
Playing with that more carefully on a flat surface indicates that maybe you're right that the "G Sensor" is not a full 3D accelerometer implementation. Or, maybe the software for this silly but fun light saber is not accessing the rotation details ??
The alternative is just the old watch and sun trick !

Thinking about this today I realised that the idea is probably not sensible !!
Everytime you switch the phone off when using a "possible compass" then it will need a new bearing. So, best just to stick with the "normal" GPS applications.

Needed help with an interesting Problem.

So, where should i start. I needed someone who's really into android to help me with a certain problem. I'm a tattoo artist, using a german made Tattoo Touch power supply. This is basically a power box with an android tablet as a control unit, they are connected via bluetooth. I attach a photo of it. The control tablet is a cheap kt712a device, with a really low resolution of 1024x600. I extracted the Tattoo touch apk, installed on my 7x to see if i can use that also as a contol unit. I can, it works, but the user interface maybe because the different resolutions, is completely messed up. The buttons are all over, etc. Everything works tho. My question is, would it be possible to somehow adjust the dpi, resolution or whatever to get the perfect interface on my 7x too? I hope i could explain my problem properly. Thanks for any help in advance!
