Has anybody converted a Haicom hi-202e so that it can be used on a serial port, is it possible, I was hoping to put a 9 pin d plug on the end, I have a Fujitsu Pencentra 130 which is a hpc pro machine running windows ce 3.01 and a mips processer, I have spent many hours looking for a driver and come up with nothing. The unit is almost identical to the hi-203e, difference being the usb is inside the mouse on the 202 and in the cable on the 203.

Since the USB is inside the GPS mouse, it doesn't seem logical to cut off the USB connector and replace it by a 9-p serial connector.
USB signal is completely different and not compatible with a serial signal.

Hi,
I am looking for cable that I could use to connect my JasJar PDA (USB mini port) with GPS (USB mini port) and car lighter. This cable should transmit data between PDA and GPS. Also it should power PDA and GPS from car lighter socket. Look at attached picture for better explanation.
Do you know where I could buy it?
Best regards

Cześć!
Myśle, że nawet jeśli masz taki kabel, to będziesz mieć problem. And there my Polish runs out!
(trans: Even if you had such a cable, you'd still have a problem).
Or at least I would assume so... Even if you made a mini usb to mini usb cable with power spliced in from a car adapter (easy enough to do after all) then you would still have the problem of persuading your pda to use the usb connection for rx/tx gps data, which I would have thought was a drivers problem...
Anyone?
Hi,
As I read on some forum this device can work as USB host and WM 5.0 has many drivers also for GPS devices. Is that true? If it is, problem how JasJar will communicate with GPS is not a problem. The problem for me is that I cannot make that cable myself and I need sombody help.
Best regards

Sadly, this device cannot act as a USB host... I am frankly disappointed that they decided not to implement it, but I guess there always has to be a reason to upgrade to the next model!
I'm afraid I don't know about WM05's support for GPS devices connected via USB, although I think I have read in other threads that people have tried without success to connect GPS receivers to their Universals.
I bought a BT gps receiver to use with mine, and am hoping to cover the cost of that when I sell my IIs, wired gps receiver, cradle etc. One thing that attracted me to the Holux that I bought is that it can apparently be used as a gps mouse if you buy the optional cable - a usb to usb mini that has a curious small plastic junction box halfway along it's length. I assume that there is some form of jiggery pokery going on in there (like swapping the 2 data lines or grounding something ) because I certainly can't connect my receiver to a laptop with a normal usb to usb mini cable.
Sorry I can't help more, but I think you may be stuck unless you can find someone locally who'll chop up some cheap cables for you to experiment with... :?
I am wondering whether if you got a Minu USB to USB B, plugged it into a cheap powered/unpowered hub, the to the GPS would it work?
If it is a cheap hub, when powered, it may have the 5V rails joined, in which case the power might run back to the universal.
However, before testing this, it would be wise to test that the USB can work with teh GPS on its own. If you do not have a mini USB A to mini USB A already and tested (I couldn't see such cables) then www.maplin.co.uk could supply you with the following, which would/should provide you with a connection if it is at all possible:
mini USB A to USB A (Standard with universal surely?)
Female USB A to USB B
Female USB B Female USB A
USB A to mini USB A (Standard with universal)
That is a lot of cables
This cable should transmit data between PDA and GPS.
WHy on earth would you want that?

Once you can prove that the PDA can connect to the GPS that way (one of the posters was not particularly positive on that) then the addition of the HUB would allow you to put the power onto the cable.

Hi Marek,
This is not going to work for DATA but this kind of cable may work to charge both JasJar and BT gps. Log in to www.allegro.pl , find covox in "szukaj użytkownika" go and buy the BT gps with the mini usb port (like G-Space GS-R238) and solder in second usb mini cable into the included car charger .
thats all...
This should charge both....ordered one and am waiting for it, doubt it'll sync though.....

I would like to connect my Universal to a flight instrument that supplies serial output (glider vario with GPS, altitude e.t.c. information).
I have seen RS232 cabels with converter to USB, but my question is - will this work or do I need a driver for my Universal?
Has anyeone tried this with succes, and if so, what was the solution.
Best regards
Steen
I forgot to add, that I would prefere a solution where the converter is not build into a RS232 plug, as the serial input would com from a Hirose p/n HR10A-7P-6P plug. Therefor I wil have to make my own cable - at least on the serial input side.
Serial connection from Universal
I don't think you can use the USB connector output and convert it to a serial formal as the equipment needs the ability to behave as a server for the serial connection, whereas it is only configured to act as a host (i.e when connected to a PC). (terminology may be incorrect ...!)
What you could obtain is a Bluetooth Serial port .. i know you didn't want the 9 pin plug, but you could easily make yourself a connector -and it would work wireless.

Does this exist? I'm about to purchase an HTC P3300 and I would like to use a car diagnostic software call "VagCheck". To use it, you need a cable to connect from the the PPC to the cars OBDII port. These cables only come for iPaq ppc connectors to OBDII, serial to OBDII, and USB to OBDII. These cables are expensive and I already have a serial to OBDII cable. So I'm looking for some kind of way to connect the cable to the P3300 via the mini USB connector but I know there will need to be some drivers involved.
Does anyone know if there's an adapter from mini USB to regular USB or Serial for PPC's with drivers?
BTW, there is a more expensive alternative. There's a bluetooth connector for the car that plugs into the OBDII and you can just connect via BT. But that is the most expensive set-up.
USB to serial
I guess you can use USB to serial converter, which is inexpensive.
Thread moved.
AFAIK the P3300 is USB client only, which means it can only be used as a client device to a PC. USB host capability is required to work with USB peripherals such as a USB to serial adapter.
So basically what you are trying to do won't work with the P3300 unfortunately.
The only way around this problem would be to get a bluetooth-serial module which would connect to the serial - OBDII unit and allow the P3300 to connect to it via bluetooth.
A bit silly I know, this is the result of most PDA manufacturers choosing not to equip their devices with USB host capability.
Antzzz et al,
You're right.. The current HTC range are all only USB Client.. So you can't connect an HID device, serial adaptor etc.. There IS rumoured to be a set of serial pins on the non-standard Mini-USB style connector on the D810 device range - however, we've never seen a cable that breaks out (or explains the RS232 pins)..
Does anyone have a full pinout of the extended connector??? This might be a project for further investigation.... ?
There are a few industrial RS232 to Bluetooth adaptors, such as :
http://store.pressdigital.com.au/industrial-bluetooth-serial-adaptor-rs232-p-5092.html
But they're expensive as a rule.. You may want to grab a Bluetooth OBDII interface.. (or another cheap PDA with RS232 like a cheap low-end iPAQ hx2490).
Let us know if you stumble across the RS232 pinout on the extended D810 connector.

i am having the same problem. i have a xda orbit with some software on it to adjust my air suspension on my car. i have tried connecting the cable supplied with it to a serial lead and then the obd11 lead but i could not get it to work. just found a Original O2 XDA Serial Sync Cable . ordered today from
http://l8shop.net/products/Original-O2-XDA-Serial-Sync-Cable-3280.asp
if you have any success in getting yours to work i would appreciate any help.
Quite a lot PDAs supporting USB-host, but for only a few an adapters or appropriate cables from the manufactures are available.
As these devices support USB-Slave as well I would like to know if there's a way to convert the USB male connector (used as slave e.g. for sync with the PC) to a USB-host female in order to connect accessories (keyboard, mass-storage devices...).
According to wikipedia the configuration of the pins shouldn't differ too much for slave and host mode.
Pls. see attachement, that's what I found regarding this question. It's a picture showing a similar configuration (as new user I'm not allowed to post external links, thanks to ab21cn
from xdaflameusers)
But it's a male-to-male converter and furthermore a converter from "big usb" to micro (mini?) usb. As there're already standard converters for the different sizes of USB I would like to start with the biggest size and to buy the appropriate converter as needed.
Does anyone has a circuit diagram or any other idea for such a generic converter?
Try adapters made for Nokie N800 series
I had a Nokia 770 a couple of years ago. It came as USB device only with mini USB connector, but online I found how to upgrade the software to USB host, and use a cable adapter. The plans I found online involved a 9V battery and 5V voltage regulator inside a metal case (they used a penguin mints case). I built one of those, even using the penguin mints case, and it worked fine.
I have never seen any indication that my HTC phone would work the same, but I am guessing that it might, if the USB host drivers are available.
Google couldn't locate the penguin mints-based converter I originally found, but this seems to be a similar circuit diagram.
Edit: Found it!
thx
thanks for the links. but i'm a little bit afraid of connecting something to my pda which has an own power supply, the risk of a burn-out is given. i've got a nautiz x5 with 4400mA battery which should have enough energy to supply usb-power to connected devices.
I think I'm going to contact the manufacture of my device, maybe this works for me, but a generic adapter would be of use for anyone.
the chips used for usb should be of the shelf as i don't think each manufacture develops an own logic for usb... but this doesn't imply that the cabeling is standard too.
what the heck makes manufactures providing features in their products which the users can't take advantage of?
do you mean using keyboards and so on on ppc?
because it's so simple if ur phone has a mini usb plug (the one u plug the power adapter into). i found a cable that plug into that and plugs a normal usb cable in on the other side and blam been typing on my phone using a desktop keyboard. it depends how much power your device requires however. i wish there was some software to feed a video line out so i could watch videos on pair of vizors that wud be rad. all i can find is a mini-sd card converter now whats the point of that. guess i need an itouch
yes
primary i want to connect usb mass storage devices to my pocket pc. gamecontroller or keyboard would be a good thing too.
my devices doesn't have a standard usb plug, the only thing i got is a adapter from the properitary plug of my device to standard usb male connector, but this is meant for usb-slave use only.
the underlying qeustion is, if there's a way to convert usb-slave to usb-host using the same pins. if it needs an additonaly pin then i don't see a way to convert it as i don't know anything about the pins cableing of my properitary plug.
a week ago i found an adapter which was able to convert the male usb to another male usb... but it didn't work.
the problem is compareable to datatransfer between two pcs via usb - it's possible, but only using properiatry hardware and drivers...
so i think there's no way to solve this problem in a generic way.
out of interest, do you already have windows CE drivers for the device to act as a host and mass storage? I wouldnt mind them if you can point me somewhere..
how to check if my htc (touch2) ca use usb host?
Given:
I have a brand new powerful PC with USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type A, USB 3.1 Type A, USB 3.0 Type A (and USB 2.0 Type A - internal in the tower) connections. I have also replaced all my USB cables with "SuperSpeed" 10Gbps throughput cables, being sure to get any and all Type C -> Type A adapters to also have the "SS" SuperSpeed Logo and the correct circuitry/leads to adhere to the higher standard. (Until I got the new cables I was still getting warnings when I plugged my Verizon Note 10+ 5G 512GB into an older cable connected to the 3.2 Gen 2 port that I was connecting the device into an older slower USB port, which is now resolved...)
I have started using Scrcpy to have my Note 10+ screen shown on the computer screen. Everything is lightning fast. I even tried using one of those cable to connect to an external SSD and tried copying several gigs of files across and CANNOT BELIEVE how fast everything is copied!
My PC is a PowerSpec G464 with and AMD Ryzen Processor (motherboards for Intel CPU's do not yet support the PCIe 4.0 slots which I do have on this system):
http://www.powerspec.com/systems/system_specs.phtml?selection=G465
It is my understanding that these motherboards have all USB connections at some point going through the same controller. Ideally each USB port would go through it's own controller and that's why such add-on PCIe cards are much more expensive and never use a PCIe x1 connection but typically a PCIe x4 slot instead. I have an add-on USB card but stuck with a cheaper one that has 4 ports (all of course sharing the same controller) as I wanted to use a PCIe x1 slot only.
Problem Statement:
So here is my dilemma. The cable connections for the Note 10+ are nice and tight, but every couple of minutes it disconnects once - and then reconnects almost instantly. It is a weird issue and kicks me out of the Scrcpy app which I relaunch - but how to resolve?
(FYI - I have not tried using any of the internal USB 2.0 ports. Also, some of my other devices on the USB SuperSpeed ports would often connect and disconnect periodically but that was all resolved by replacing the cables as mentioned above.)
Ideas? I'll try anything anyone suggests and report back. Is it possible the Note 10+ cannot handle ports expecting a 3.2 Gen 2 connection (although I know they are supposed to adjust automatically)?
