As long as the device has a host controller it will work just fine in Windows Mobile 6. In fact many of the WM6 devices are supposed to have the new USB On-the-go connections that will act as host or slave. SO if you have USB on the go let me know and we can try and get the Tactrix cable connected.

I should have mentioned that this app will work with any Windows Mobile or PocketPC device that can run the .NET framework 2.0. These include:

Pocket PC 2003 SE
Windows CE 4.2
Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC
Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone
Windows CE 5.0
Windows Mobile 6

It may also run on others...

I'd be down for trying this. I have the ATT Tilt which has mini usb on the bottom and WM6 and .net 2.0.

I just need to find a host controller for it I guess. Any ideas?

Not exactly. The devices itself needs to support USB host. I'm not sure if the tilt does...

Hi Galvitron

Did you change the code in much way from the last version that I had tried out?

each of these needs a USB host cable (like 5 bucks). I have a auto-installer for the FTDI drivers so any program I release can be installed with included drivers. Then simply run the app and voila! Logging away...

I am going to refine it and put nice error handling etc. before posting to minimize support problems for me and to make it nice and slick for everyone.

BTW, Pocket PC 2003 first edition (?) 4.20 will not load the .NET compact framework. You need to have 4.21 or higher. The .NET compact framework will be required. You can find out what you have by going to Start->Settings->SystemInformation->System->OSVersion

I believe there is a DELL Axim that will also work. Marcel, you may want to post your model number here...
I thought that the Dell Axim does not work. I have an X51 that is dying to log. Donor posted that the serial port is not fully functional.

MB,

Can you post here your model number? I keep forgetting it.

I did change the code a little. I have been busy since my first round with this thing and I should have some more time to get a presentable version this weekend. Today I have to change my driveline fluids and watch Formula 1 qualifying and go to a LAN party and get drunk, so I don't have a lot of time

chmodlf,

burgers that posted above you will post his model. I may have been wrong about the Dell Axim. Cool name by the way.

I know how you feel Galvitron, I have to watch the Rugby world Cup final, watch out for Hamilton, pack up my house for moving and, like you get a few beers in.

Oh now to the point......Acer N50, integrated USB host, logger runs but no data

Slower than a laptop for sure. But a 4" device vs. a laptop? Not optimal for the device as far as speed. But oh, the convenience

F1 Gp of Brazil is about to start...

+ 1 for the XV6700. I have the compact framework loaded. win mob 5. I even loaded DSMlink's pocket app to it and it opens and functions. Just never finished the job by finding a cable that would work with the mini-usb. ?

Do you guys have a solution to this?

The convinience of this is the key thing. I always have my phone.

BT sounds cool too. This was also discussed on DSMlink forums. But they were having problem finding a device that would pass RTS signaling via BT? I know about 1% of what some of you guys do when it comes to his stuff, so don't quote me please.

UPDATE:

I have hit a major roadblock on the FTDI driver.

I am returning an FT_ERROR enumerated code on a Read() call to the dll instead of it returning FT_OK.

The FTDI docs say that even under a timeout it should return FT_OK so it is not timeout...

The same code works on the X86 dll...

Anyone have experience with this?
