DIY: Simple PSP-GPS hookup

**Russoxley187** · August 23rd, 2006, 16:19

The POI editior is great.
poieditor dot com
can you just make one massive poi list or does it have to be specific for that map.
Like Have one list for all three different towns.
Maybe you can just copy that list in all three directories..
any clue?

Hi!

I have a

Cable GPS Receiver: SC-GPS-1 JENTRO

which was in a package with my Siemens CX65 Mobile Phone!

HERE IS A PICTURE OF MY GPS RECEIVER! :

and here is a link to the datasheets!!

http://www.jentro.com/index.php?id=98

So.... i searched all over the internet to find out witch wire of the 4 which are soldered to the GPS Device is the TXD one and witch wire is for the Power Supply because my GPS device is getting the power over the 12V Plug in the Car!! But I didn' find any Infos!
Or is the Power on the PSP Connector enough to get the GPS device working!!

Sorry for my bad english !
But im german!!!
Thak you for this Great Tool for the PSP....

And thanks already for help to get it work on my PSP!!!

well, first your doubling your post's: that won't bring more help... then, if you find which are the RxD (receiver) on the phone pinout, like I told you before, you'll know were is the TxD on the GPS... that's the only thing you'll need besides GND (ground).

And no,I dont think that you can power the GPS from the PSP, you can try though, but even if you can it'll drawn all power from PSP's battery in no time!

If you need mobility apart from your car I would advise you to manage how to find the output voltage from that adaptor and try to adapt it to work with batteries... it's a lot of work but for ppl into DIY thst's nothing ;-)

here you should find the pinout:

I wrote in the other Thread that I will post here to keep the other Thread clean!!!

So.. Thank you for your Help....

I looked on the pinout on the Connector which I plug in into the Mobile Phone..

I pursed the solderpoints on the connector to the Pins and now I know what Wires are for what....

I found the TxD wire and the GND ....
And I know which wire is for the PowerSupply...

But as I wrote the GPS device is getting his Power over the 12V Connector in the CAR!!

Now I need to know if I need a Restistor between the Powerwire of the 12V Plug and the Powerwire of the GPS Module!?

On the PowerConnector is written :

Input: 12/24V
Output: 500mA +- 50mA

I hope this info helps!!

I will make Pictures of the connector an the GPS inside

Thank you for your Help!

My guess is that your PowerConnector is a transformer that converts 12/24V to lower voltage rating to your cell phone or GPS...

Let me ask you this: you can use your gps only with the cell phone (without adaptor)?

- if so, you must know the voltage ratings from the phone to GPS and, this way, probably you can use a siemens cx65 battery to power up the gps without the phone

- if not, you're geting power from the adaptor: use a multimeter to find the voltage rating from the adaptor to see if it can be repaced with a battery.

I found something
on the Connector which I plug in to my mobile Phone is between the Powwer-Wire of the 12V Connector for the CAr and the PowerWire of the GPSDevice a small-black thingy... an on this is written .. : SS14
