GPS OUT with usb cradle !

[johanneswilkens]

Hello !

I ve got the gpsout running on the Fs2004. The Problem i have is that i use a PDA connected via USB. But there is no connection between PDA and fs2004. What must I write in the GPSOUT.ini file ? What TYP of connection ? Maybe someone has a idea, how it works ?

Thanks Jojo

GPSout needs a COM port number or name. I've really no idea how USB serial ports look, thouh there is one example someone gave me which I put into the TXT file documentation (did you look?) -- some thing like

Port=\\\WCEUSBSH001

though I suppose this might be different for different devices or serial/USB drivers.

The other thing is that, for most PDAs, as soon as you plug them nito the PC they get taken over by the automatic synchronisation software you or Windows installed to handle them. Somehow you would have to stop all that running too, to free up the port for others to use.

I don't know how to do that. I never ever managed to get my PDA linked up, so you are not alone.

Regards,

Pete
