Check the connections with a multimeter... ( or something else which shows if you have connections where you are supposed to have )

the baud should be 38400...
Check the FAQ for more hints..

also if you read the diy thread it says not to use and of the usb connectors that come with it.

MIB.42 i check with the multimeter so many times.. cause i'm afraid to brick my psp.. :D

Please help!! can't wait to work this pretty prog

don't use the usb cable with holux units - you need a serial cable... (make it yourself or by it from chinese vendors - the forum has links..

ok before i get screamed at.. i apologize.. everything works now and its my fault..

basically i unwired everything, wired it back to the original USB, test the wire if its data cable, strip it again and rewire to psp cable..

and i realise i wired it wrong the first time round... so much for checking the multimeter so many times... sorry!

I bought a holux gpslim240 last week. And my psp gps cable just arrived from China. I tried mapthis with 4800 baud rate as the FAQ said. But it didn't work. I changed it to 38400. Now it is working on my 3.40 OE firmware.
