Serial to USB converter

Hi Melanie,

Thank you for your quick reply.
I will go for the second option it seems easier that way.

- The HP 1915 can only connect to a host USB like what is on a PC or laptop.
- There is no SDIO support with the HP 1915 SD card slot.

Buy a new Pocket PC!

the hp 1915 will not act as an USB-Host,
so save the money for the serial-USB connector,
it will NOT work on the hp.

But you could link the serial GPS via IR.

I've also been thinking in the direction of using the IR port.
Now what puzzles me is it IRDA or just some common IR signal that should be used?

This might sound quite blunt but do you happen to have a schematic for this?
I tried already to hook up a IR led via a transistor to the serial output op the GPS without any luck I must admit (see attached schematic).
I suspect that this is to be used with the Irda connection on the mainboard of a pc instead of the serial port.

Best regards

Hi,

Check up the site www.sirpic.com

Ravi has a number of very useful pics programmed for IRDA connectivity. Also, he's very helpful and will guide you as well.
