Jasjar serial cable

Anyone know if an RS232 cable is available for the Jasjar yet or have I got to use one of these awful RS232/USB convertors?
Regards

did you ever get a lead that worked ? I can't find one and I'm trying to work out if I can hack my old IPAQ one up. cheers

A converter isn't going to work. They all require a USB Host port.

yes
also interested into this old fashionned but necessary tool to console to routers for example.
so up for this topic

I am interested also.
I was thinking about this a while back though. I think the only way this is going to work really is through a bluetooth or IR adapter.
Obviously those would require external power. Doing it with an IR adapter should be relatively easy to program, something along the lines of a PIC 16F64 or 18F452 would be more than enough. However, would it be usable? When controlling a router I would like to use the keyboard. The IR points dirctly towards the user.
However, I have little experience in how BT works, so would not be able to even think on how that would work.

Perhaps this might point you in the right direction...

Its a guide to making a GPS IRDA but I'm sure it could be suitably modified.

Bluetooth to usb
How about this: http://www.neteon.net/cat.aspx?clvl=3&c1=1&c2=177&c3=107
It's a serial to Bluetooth dongle. I don't see any WM drivers but I would think that the bluetooth stack on the latest "cooked" ROMS would support serial host since that is what most bluetooth GPS receivers use.
If it wheren't for the $108 price tag I would grab one of these myself and see if it worked.
Maybe in a few weeks. If someone else gets a chance to try this one, please post here and let us know.

Looking for a mobile device with USB host

I wonder which, if any, mobile device has USB hosting capability.
I want to connect an external web cam, but USB of course has many other applications too. I don't understand why it is not a standard feature. Do I have to go UMPC to get a mobile device with USB host?

you can use your windows mobile device as a webcam. i forgot the name of the software but it can be done. also what other things would you use usb host for? maybe there are other solutions.

is one of the few wm devices only one from htc that I know of which support usb host

x7510 works well.
i'm just selling mine in ebay... :-( because i changed to HD2 xD

I saw a video on YouTube that said that the Toshiba G900 lets you connect USB Flash Drives to it.

There are some others that are older and even harder to find. There are some hacks for others, but nothing that's truly useful, yet.

Someone with a nexus one scripted a host driver for his phone and he plugged a keyboard into it and typed stuff..... can't remember the video but a quick search should bring it up

o2 xda flame can do it as well

[Q] Use Gnex as ID card

I want to know if its possible to read my contactless work ID card with my phone and then use the phone as my ID by tapping it to the reader.
I don't know if this is even possible and my question isnt about the Nexus as much as it is about My ID card, but if anyone can help me figure out what kind of ID card I have and how that would or wouldnt work with the hardware in the Nexus, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

There is some sort of chip in your ID or is just a bar code you're trying to scan?

Some sort of chip. I tap the card to the reader in the elevator and at the front door to the office.
I don't even need to tap the card directly, I keep the card in my wallet and tap my wallet to the reader and it picks it up fine.
Let me know if I can provide any more info.
Thanks

I can't think of anyway to extract the information from the chip, but you could always cut the chip out and tape it inside the battery door. I wouldn't think anything would interfere with the chip, but I guess would might need to have an undamaged ID card.

Yeah, that wouldn't work, it doubles as a picture ID as well so I would need to keep it undamaged.
I've seen apps that read and store data when tapped with a credit card, so I was hoping someone would be able to provide similar info for how to do it with an ID card. I don't know enough about the different NFC and RFID technologies and what the nexus is capable of. Was hoping someone on here might be able to help.

Check out this thread from a few months ago. People came to the conclusion that it isn't possible.

From what I understand, data that's on most RFID cards is encrypted and the NFC antenna on the Galaxy Nexus (and Nexus S) is not currently capable of interpreting the data. It certainly seems that the possibility is there though seeing as how they usually operate on the 13.56 MHz frequency.

I posted this on another thread, but I think it is worth it here also. HID is beta testing using NFC technology for card access with Blackberry devices. Youtube HID Global Pilot Arizona State. NFC uses 13.56Mhz frequency. The HID iClass readers should work ONCE HID gives the customer the ability to get the software used to tether the phone to your computer and connect to the "secure" part of the Android OS and create a credential. It is coming. Just waiting on HID Global to make it happen.

Harrier and Blue Angel - twins or cousins?

As we′ve lately discussed the question if HR has got a built-in wifi-device similar to BA I'm starting this thread in close connection to D-Two's Android for Blue Angel-Thread. Hoping to have some Harrier at hand pretty soon, built-in parts will be listed.
Right from the start my thanks go to GnatGoSplat!
:highfive:

I saw in your other thread about adding an external bluetooth into a BA. That's yet another difference, Harrier has built-in GPS.

Can you say which GPS chip?
EDIT: ok i think this chip is the real different!!
datasheet this chip is for GPS and CDMA...

I haven't taken it apart to see the chip, but yes, I think it does have an MSM5500 inside from what I could find on Google, and that chip does have the GPS and CDMA included so I'm sure that must be it.

ok, so we need for the harrier a linux driver for the chip and the harrier is fully work :victory:

Does Linux/Android treat the MSM5500 like a modem? I have seen references to Linux drivers for USB modems that use the MSM5500 chip.
Like this: http://www.ka9q.net/5220.html
Although I don't know anything about Linux so I don't know if any info there is useful.

So at this point we just need to figure out the gpios that power the modem, and figure out what the interface is...serial,usb, or dpram? i didn't look at that datasheet but does it show that?

And Harrier has its backup-battery where BA has its wifi-antenna.
Just today got some harriers, maybe a scan of an unshielded mainboard will be helpful to you.

O.K.- scanning had been a stupid idea- those modern machines don't give a sharp&deep enough pic.
Now made several photos of unshielded BA & Harrier mainboard. Will upload tomorrow.
For first two pics, didn't have good light yesterday evening.
Interesting: Harriers' GPS-antenna is placed where BA has bluetooth; harriers' bluetooth is next to IR.
The area under black foil is for simcard-holder.
Flashlight of harrier can't be built in BA, has got two spiral contacts on motherboard.

The board layout is surprisingly different for looking so similar on the outside.
Are any parts the same and interchangeable? LCD maybe?

I haven't tried it, but I will make note to try it next time.

Switched Display of HA and BA, worked on both devices. As there are three different screens, madcap me luckily took the right one at first attempt
I won't have time before mid next week to provide better pics, but if anyone wants to know something about print on some part, take my pic, mark the part and send it to me- i'll take a look. Hope to make annotated pics soon...
O.K., here first three pics from one side:

Boy, you're too fast
Will check both today afternoon and post tomorrow. If pic doesnt work, i'll write it down.
(I know, these pics are quick'n'dirty, but as i wrote- it's a question of time. Will improve asap.)
Qualcomm... my EF82 also runs with it:fingers-crossed:
P.S.: Just found these three pics. But QC-chip is hard to read.
At the cam you see top right two brass squares- are the contacts of flashlight conjuncting to the spiral ones on the mainboard.
Will compare BA and HA cam, and IF they should be different mount HA cam in BA to test if it works.
P.P.S.: Will check BOTH Qualcomm-chips.

If you download my pic HAV3 (third in post#14) and turn it 90° left you can pretty good read it.

that's the link for the docking cab of build 14393.448:

that does not mean it will work. i never tried this because i am sure it won't work.
afaik it's a hardware limitation of micro-usb and usb-c (3.0) is needed for it to work.
the snapdragon 801 supports usb 3.0 already but that doesn't help in that case.

Thank you sir! Just Updated smoothly! I've got the docking brick available to me to use tomorrow so I'll check it out and let you all know how it goes. I'm sure you're right about the hardware limitation but lately I've been really interested on how these updates and spoofing work so well. The jump from 8.1 to 10 especially... In my way to put it, it's almost as if it doesn't flash on pre determined partition tables/device specs and more so to do with the registry and building the jump off of what is currently available in the registry.. Neat stuff! Although these are my assumptions. If anyone knows what actually goes on during the update process feel free to school me

I was curious to see how the docking experiment went...
