Hello all,
I have been having trouble finding devices that will recognize the tactrix cable. So I created a test app that will find out. If you have a device with Windows Mobile or Pocket PC and the device has an onboard USB port, then you can test with the tactrix cable. As soon as I can find out which devices will run this, I can get the mobile logger out sooner.
Wouldn't it be cool to log on your small mobile device versus a bulky laptop? But I need the community's help!
Supported devices are WinCE 4.2 and later, which include:
WinCE 4.2
PocketPC 2003
Windows Mobile PocketPC 5.0
WindowsCE 5.0
So I have put a small test app up for download at:

The app is NOT a logger, it is just a testing tool.
To install the test app, simply connect your device via activesync to your pc. In the activesync window, hit explore or browse and you will be presented with an Explorer window. From here go into "My Device" and copy this file into some folder. Once the copy is complete, go to the mobile device and browse to that file and run it. It will install the test app and put a shortcut in the startmenu.
You will also need the .NET compact framework 2.0 and the FTDI driver for your device (most cases ARM).
You may want to try getting the tactrix cable recognized first as this app is useless without that.
Once you have it up and running, use the following buttons:
1. "Init". This will enumerate the devices and fill the dropdown
2. Choose the device in the combo. If it is not there...problem
3. Hit "Open". This will init at the Evo baudrate and send the 5 baud + extra init crap
4. Pick or type some data to send into the "Send..." box. The response will show in the listbox.
5. Close
If you can, try this out and let me know which devices will or will not work. Thanks in advance!!
