QUOTE if it can use palmorb then i am intrested, bluetooth would be a killer app for this thing as then i could hook it into my sysetm and see if i can make my Z pull the phone number from the phone and disploy on the watch then route the audio to my bluetooth headset smile.gif, all we need is a serial port i guess wink.gif now where can i ind one of these in Australia? Hmmm. . . Dismantled mine today, just to prod, and discovered something. The IRDA chip (2mmx10mmx2mm) has 8 pins on the back, and a larger pin holding it down. So looks like you could steal a serial port from the IRDA. However, you have a total of 1cmx0.5cmx0.2cm space internally to fit a bluetooth module, although you could hang it of the hole (full of translucent plastic) for the IRDA beam, which is about 2mmx12mm square. http://www.ratesaver.com.au/products/B0007...OS___Black.html Don't know if that link's any good? Even just as it is, it's a cool, and useful device. (Just a shame about the 1 to 2 day battery life. Ah hell, who cares, you can charge it from a USB port!) |

Thats true, i just keep thinking that writing drivers for an 8bit micro would be faster than porting linux, but then again i am not a kernel hacker, i do know hardware wise the 8bitter will be easire to design around and will be fewer chips (uC + bluetooth chipset)
i supose it depends on the chipset you use. you would really want one with flash and ram on board might have to look into this futher |
