well today was the day my gps unit came in.
it took me about 30min to do everything from opening the box to opening the gps to find the pins in needed. to wireing the cable and to testing, it went quite easy, i used a 1k resister.

im very intrested to try the maping project
its nice to see it was successful seesoe :) and less than a half hour to assemble and test? wow :)
anyone think it will work with the usb port on the umd opening?
Send me PM with your PSP's MAC address I'll send you the current dev version...Quote:

I wonder if this is just my unit or all of them.. or perhaps something in the code...
yes i can i also found that when i was going about 56 the psp would read out 45 it was always around this number of differ when going fast. im starting to think its with the setup maybe, cuz i also used the gps reading program that has the green background to it and i found it was about the same thing. i might charge the battery of the gps unit and hook it up to my laptop and re do the speed testing.Quote:

I got it figured out.. I did not read the NMEA spec carefully.. the speed is posted in KNOTTS.. I already made adjustments to the code to make the speedfix configurable so you can convert it to MPH or KPHQuote:

I fixed that and tweaked the graphics a bit...Quote:

Oh my God!
I've been following this thread for a wile now. I’m completely amazed with your work and also with the PSP capabilities – they’re endless! This is also my first post in DCemu…
Well I’m convinced to buy a GPSlim236 (nice choice too) just don’t want to rip the original remote and don’t seem to find a replace nearby (Portugal), seems I have to order online… The hook-up is so dam simple that it even hassles me!
Don’t want to get you out of coding dept. but why don’t you free a pre-release, even though, without the source code if you don’t think is ready yet for general public? I’m not censoring you or something just can’t wait to get my hands on it… Or, your strategy is going to aim for a commercial route (couldn’t blame you, either…)?
If I build the set-up (as soon as I get the parts…) could you hook me up with your soft?
Now for the Beta testers (especially LEWBACCA, A Fn NOOB and SEESOE):
Could some of you make a small tutorial of how to use the scripts for map generation (and other info you find usefull), to enlighten other users and free DENISKA of doing so?
Tank you all!
I decided to enter this program in to a coding competition, and the rules say that it must be the first public release.... So just wait a bit more...Quote:

I will not be able to squizz all the stuff that I wanted to accomplish by then, but I'll release it anyway... for free & with source, of course :-)
No commercial routes!!!
well i don't see why i could do it buy should it be done now? where should i post it?Quote:

ok will title it MapThis wifi download lol
Well,
@Deniska
Didn't know it was for running on a coding contest - that explains it… – hope you win! And hope to see a lot of other interesting projects too…
Hope to, by Aug. 20, already have my GPS&cable, if not sooner.

thanks...
no from what i see just a little fix with the wifi updage i will make the thread in about 20min fater i finish something im doin
Little update:
Looks like I finally nailed the "TRACK UP" MODE (where the map rotates so you always move up)
The "NORTH UP" got me always puzzled which way to turn while I was driving...
seesoe: sorry I did not send you the latest version.. I'll try to do it tomorrow...
Hello!
Excelent... but, maybe I like it better when was the pointer traveling around, of course that's only my point of view and I haven't felt it to see wich is better... Will/could it be an option that kind of behaviour?
hey thats looking good, what if the time was displayed bigger? move it straight down under the alt
insted of haveing it small all the way up there, and maybe it could be made 12setup
random thoughts flowing:D
Of course, I made it so you can switch it back and forth as you drive....Quote:

Keep going! :)
check out http://www.neoflash.com/
votes only take place after take place after the contest is closed... I'll check it later on... there ain't nothing much to see right now...Quote:

I did some changes to gps read&parse logic, so let me know if it still works with different gps units..
While in GPS mode you can toggle "TRACK UP" by pressing RIGHT arrow. You can capture your NMEA sentenses to gps.txt file by pressing LEFT arrow.. (to replay it, you'll need to change FAKEFEED variable in config.txt
I need someone with 2.0+ FW to help me testing..
PM me your PSP's MAC address & FW version if interested.
i will help once my psp's in ;)
if my gps finally arrives today (-_- ****ing german post offices) i could try devhooking 2.xx. i got gta and eloader should be running.. so would be no problem.Quote:

i notice that you power the gps unit from the psp, whereas the developer who uses the gps unit i own connects it to an external power source... is it possible to power the gps360 via the single cable, as you do here..? if so, what wires do i need to connect for the power..? will i need a resistor..?
many thanks - i apologize if these questions are basic, and i appreciate any input and or advice.
the psp will not give enough power to power a gps unit from the serial port. the Holux GPSlim236 used in this setup here has its own battery. the one you have gps360 does not have a battery it gets its power from the usb when u plug it into the computer.
OK
so i will need to work another battery solution...
thanks for clearing that up for me.
no prob
Hi, Just saw the videos of this that hit all the PSP news sites today, Must have been on vacation the firs time around to have not seen this project sooner. I just ripped up my PSP's Remote cable, i never use it anyway so it's not close to a huge deal, And i had the problems getting that damned plastic insulation or whatever they put around the connectors, and it ripped the wires. I'm hoping someone can clue me in on what colors go where, and which are actualy Used. If a Big picture can be supplied it would help a bit more. I'm Partialy Color blind so the small pictures are a bit difficult for me to tell the diffrences on the cables. One i found seems to show only the GND and Blue are being used? Is this true? If so which destinguishing color is the ground? thanks.

Buy/borrow a multi-tester @ radioshack (or any electronics parts store) and measure the resistance between the cable connector pins and the wires on the other side of the cable...
I bought my tester at radioshack and returned it next day... ;-)
You can even create a "tester tool" yourself out of a small low voltage bulb, 2 wires and a battery...
like deniska said..
when i soldered my wires, i didn't even see a difference between 2 colors. it is very much safer if you test the wires before. everything else could result in a brick :/
crater i was also like you if your read the thread i asked for colors so i can hook my gps up, i just used my 10 dollar multimeter i got a while ago at radio shack, and if you noticed i didn't solder my cable up, if you want to do the same you will have to strip your psp remote very carful don't stech the cable or anything it will just make it harder to strip the inside wires, instead just get a sharp blade and use that to strip the outer wire. now the kinda hard part the inside wires are very small and they are coated with this streachy metiral, use ur teeth, get a good grip on the wire, but not to hard where when you pull it will rip the main wire* and pull. if you do this right you should be good to go. thats what i did do it at your own risk im not responsible if you mess anything up
Alright, I already have a mutlimeeter/tester, so i'm set on that. I'm just looking for the cable from the GPS's USB cable that's sending the information then? Sounds easy enough. Thanks.
your welceom, all you need for that cable is a usb mini b head, for example the psp data cable has that head*don't use that one lol* also a lot of flash mp3 players have that head some digital cams have that head for data transfer
Greetings,
Just wanted to let you know I just ordered the Holux GPSlim236 and I have everything ready when the unit arrives.
I am going to be having an identical setup as seesoe let me know if I can be of any help.
