the program will not start if the checksum is wrong, but if i remember right checksum is disabled now so either way its not checksum
do the normals check if the wifi switch was on
use the global map and press square see if the arrow comes up

Thanks for the fast responses guys.
WIFI off, UMD out, GPS position fix, but still no luck.
Just strange that it works fine with the old GPS viewer but not with Map This!
For the record, I made the PSP serial connector out of an old ISA card.
The cable is 1.5 metres long.
Maybe Map This! has more strict data transmission standards than GPS viewer?
I might try making a shorter cable and see if that works.
Well for some reason I can't get the WIFI to work for me. The script however does work, I just messed up. I dled wget and bc to my HD and installed from there, but let it be known that method does not work! I uninstalled them and used the cygwin setup to get them via one of the online mirrors and it worked just fine after that.Quote:

I don't think the length of the cable is the problem, mine's 8 or so feet long and it links up with the 236 just fine.Quote:

You may want to find it and test with your GPS receiver.. it has a slightly different Nmea read logic... it worked fine for all my testers...
Finally got it working, turns out you need to have something inserted into the adjacent headphone socket.
Of course, anyone using a normal combo connector wouldn't have had this problem but my ghetto connector is just a bit of PCB jammed in to the serial port.
Thanks to Fairlady for pointing out that cable length wasn't an issue and putting me on the right path.
/Can't wait to run around town tomorrow without getting lost. ALL HAIL DENISKA!!!
o i c your problem, yes the serial port is not activated if the headphone jack side has something plugged in
Just ordered all the gear to make my cable. I have a question about identifying pins with a multimeter.
How will I know which pin is which by resistance?
Could you maybe add a simple guide on identifying pins please.
no just put the multi meter on one end of the wire and the other on a pin if u see any change on the multimeter you will know if its the right pin or no also for the stalk head sets that come http://mc.pp.se/psp/phones.xhtml
I'm still not sure how a change in resitance would make a difference?
Do I need to apply power to the cable? If the resistance changes, how does that tell me which pin is which?
Sorry i'm a mechanical engineer not an electrical one ;)
EDIT:
I understand it now. Use the pinout to identify the correct pin and put the multimeter on the end of the wires to find out which wire belongs to which pin. Thanks :)
Anyone, and I mean, anyone can build a conductivity meter from 2 stripes of wire 1 battery and 1 LED...Quote:

My GPS works like a charm, with my DIY cable...
I made it form a piece of doublesided PCB and a stereo jack from old headphones...
I started cutting the PCB's with a Dremel but that didn't work out well, so I switch to a blade cutter to make thinner cuts...
here are the results:
i will pay someone 10 dollars for a cord already made in this tutorial for the same GPS deniska is using.
I don't think you'll get many takers on that offer.Quote:

Here's a list of what's needed for materials as a reminder:
- Intec G6704 PSP Remote Control (~$11).
- USB (Mini B) cable ($5-10)
- 1K 1/4watt resistor (>$1)
- Electric tape ($2 roll)
However, if you're going to supply all the materials and pay for shipping both ways you might get someone to do it.
By the way, you double posted this over here.

Well I would like to help you but it's dificult to do that for such amout (I live in Europe, Portugal), so at the actual conversion rates that give around 8€, sending to US at least 5€ (optimistic...) so I have 3€ to buy a miniB usb cable... If I add the amout of time to buy a cable, go to postal offices, and make the build (not counting weld, electricity, PCB,...)... And I'm talking about a DIY cable not the one DENISKA made with a refurbished PSP remote connector (just that costs $11)... get Real!Quote:

just finished my cable. i made mine using the psp oem remote. for some reason i couldnt get it to work w/ the resistor. i tried my luck and hooked it up w/o it. it seems to be working perfect but im not sure if i should leave it like that.
GPSlim 236 has a pretty wide TX voltage range (3-5) range. yours is probably close to 3 V..Quote:

This is very cool Deniska. I am looking for a psp app I can use on the golf course. Is there anything I can use to plot out points on a golf course and give me distances to those points?
Not currently, but I may include these features in future releases...Quote:

can you just make one massive poi list or does it have to be specific for that map.

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! :
http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/4...1479res6cv.jpg
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).Quote:

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:
http://www.gsmserver.com/pinout/siem...ns_c25_s25.php
Or here:
http://www.dreambox.hk/cellphones/Siemens_CX65.html
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!

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
It doesn't mean anything at least for me...Quote:

I'm not shure if it does work without... i didn't used it on my mobile Phone...
I'm going to buy some resistors and then I will go solder it and post if its working without the Powersupply from the 12V connector!!
Thank you for your help!
You know that the schematic with the resistor is only to normalize voltages to data communicationn... if you want to power the GPS I'd advise you to use the adaptor until you find a way to attach a battery to itQuote:

This is so cool by far the best homebrew I have seen I voted.
Also I ordered a Holux GPS 236, I bet you made the MFG happy with all the people with PsP's ordering one.
I have a quick question about the cable and the resistor. I want to make the cable before my GPS unit arrives. Just so I make sure when I create the cable i understand the multimeter part to figure which cable go to which pins. What I don't understand is the voltage part.
Do I measure the voltage when i hook the cable up to the Holux unit ? So I wooul touch the pin on the mulitmeter on one end with teh Hloux hooked up on the other ? And this voltage should read ~2.5v ? Not over or under correct ?
Also I am just connecting 2 wires total ?
Thanks for any help guys keep it up.
The voltage (if you want/need to check) could be read between GND and TxD with the GPS on... Usually, you only need this for troubleshooting or when using a different setup/deviceQuote:

Yes, you only need 2 wires (unilateral communication: GPS -> PSP).
so.. i'm going to solder it tomorrow, or better said later today!!
so.. you meen I don't need the resistors on the TxD wire between the GPS device and the PSP COnnector???
Or do I still need....
And can someone Recompile MapView with the baudrate which I need?
It's 115200 Bit/s
I don't know how to do that... So.. thank for help!!
I'm getting closer to get this working... So.. I am really thankfull for your Help!!!
greets kamatschka
Hello, between the TxD you probably will - that depends on the output voltage from the GPS trough the transmiter (TxD) line - It's better to check it with a multimeter before troubles happen.Quote:

You dont need to recompile the program there's a config file were you can set that (and other stuff needed)
so.. i soldered all together but it's not really working....
I've used the 1kOhm resistor... but the MapView don't get any Data from the GPS... now I am looking for someone who can compile the GPS App with the green color which shows all the infos of the GPSdevice whith my Baud for testing!!
The GPS Device gets Power from the 12 V Connector in the Car... the GPS Device is after a couple of minutes warm.... because of that i'm sure that the GPS device gets his Power!
so... now I will solder the TxD directly without any Resistor... maybe thats the problem!!!
I leave a compile version for 115200 I get a lot of warnings but I think it's OK (as allways, use at your own risk!), check compile log.txt...Quote:

thank you for compiling it.....
But when I plug the connector to the PSP the Programm says that I need to connect and switch the GPS on....
could it be that the App is waiting for Datareceive on throug the PSP connector and then it knows that the connector is connected with the PSP!
So.. it could be that the sending of the data is prevented by the resistor...
I'm looking to get a Multimeter somewhere...!!
So.. already thanks for your Help!!!

You need to disconnect WIFI switch, and leave UMD off the tray (at least the other version don't work with)
You may need to wait for proper data
