new cables available for MapThis!

[deniska]

Doesn't the psp gps work with mapthis? If so, wouldn't it be a cheaper, and easier method?
This is good, though

PSP-290 gps unit has it's own limitations - alot of users complain about the sensitivity of the unit and it's questionable performance...
Generic gps units like holux236-240 seem to have better sensitivity and more options (like pairing with any bluetooth devices, etc)

sony should start seeing, homebrew keeps the psp alive.. even manufacturers are supporting it...



hello all btw )

how you been doin?

Hello, and good point. If not for people like Deniska, Raf and Ahman I would have gotten rid of my PSP a long time ago and I certainly would not have bought a second one.

On topic: This is excellent news!! Deniska, you should be getting a cut on these cables. Congrats on being the first homebrewer (that I've noticed) to provide work for people directly due to your free software. That is an accomplishment.

I just ordered mine...
how long does it take?

website said it doesnt have the 1K resistor, will that cause a problem?

I figured the 1K resistor is used as a mean to prevent current surge for either the PSP or the GPS unit.

Is the protection already built into the Holux 240 or PSP? is that why it was decided to leave the resistor out? or was it just to cut cost?

Probably not. The difference in voltage is not enough to harm neither PSP nor GPS unit.
So far I did not hear about any problems because of this...

Is there already a better tutorial onto making your own extension cable for PSP-290 because i didn't understand the last one.

Has anyone tested if the transmit line is also wired through
to the GPS plug?
.. in case one wanted to use a PSP brew to configure
or reconfigure the GPS unit?
It might work with a 3.3Volt model GPS, and could definately do no harm to either the PSP or GPS in cases
where it didn't work.

Would someone with a continuity tester and custom cable pls check this out.

I'll bet it's also possible to use the PSP standby line (green wire) to wake the PSP from suspend as soon as any powered GPS is plugged in.
