Sharp ROMs / Getting A Haicom Hi-302cf Gps Card To Work

« on: April 18, 2007, 04:15:52 pm »

[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I googled and found a (the?) file here:
[a href=\"http://riksun.riken.go.jp/pub/pub/Linux/slackware/slackware-8.0/modules/2.4.5/pcmcia/?C=S;O=D]http://riksun.riken.go.jp/pub/pub/Linux/sl...pcmcia/?C=S;O=D[/url]

I don't know if I can be of help, I have a billionton CF GPS, it was more or less plug and play with qpegps (old version with integrated gpsd at that time)
Did you try qpegps? which version? gpsd?

Software / Qpegps 0.9.3 Released

« on: April 09, 2007, 06:10:03 am »

I puzzled a bit more on the freezing; it seems only to happen when using qpegps in gps-view, not in map view. And as mentioned earlier, I have to kill both qpegps and gpsd to solve it.

Me too, I'm looking forward to the update

Thanks Ztep!

Software / Qpegps 0.9.3 Released

« on: March 21, 2007, 05:13:47 pm »

That helped, thanks.

NMEA/Sirf issue; Qpegps was showing me NMEA tonight, whereas cgps showed Sirf.

Update on qpegps (giving you as much info as I can, I don't see any pattern in it): Was running it outside (I was inside   ), froze.

Killall gpsd, Killall qpegps, touch statusbar icon, play around, froze.

Same as above, watching the GPS tab, for ... minutes, I froze, got inside with zaurus still at GPS tab, still fix, watched it for abt 10 minutes, switched to gps-map, switched to map map, changed zoom, switched back to gps map, zoomed back, finally: froze (but took very long this time).

Killall again, startup again....Froze (was in GPS-map-tab) instantly.

Beats me   , but at least I know the position of my kitchen now...

Software / Qpegps 0.9.3 Released

« on: March 20, 2007, 05:54:34 pm »

After 2 months very busy at work, I'm back to correct some of the bugs of version 0.9.3. I hope to release a new version in a few days.

The same reason I didn't report my problems earlier, I'm struggling with it for quite a while, but didn't find the time to really dig into it.

Qpegps is communicating with gpsd (v2.34), showing sometimes the NMEA mode, sometimes SIRF mode. A while (varying from within 2 minutes to up to 5 minutes) after a fix is found qpegps hangs.

snip,..

When qpegps hangs, gpsd is still running fine and giving me positions.

I haven't experimented this problem but I'm trying another form to connect gpsd that doesn't involve the use of threads that could be the cause of your hangs.

I don't now if the changes between nmea and sirf mode are dued to qpegps or gpsd or even your gps hardware. Could you use cgps (the text based client included in the gpsd ipk) and tell me if you get the same mode changes?

Thanks for your feedback

Some extra info:
I did run qpegps 0.9.3 on my former SL-C3000, with the same GPS (Billionton CF GPS), with the same result. When Qpegps freeze, some of the bearing/heading/velocity values show (sometimes!) "nan"
I tried to run cgps, but get an error message saying terminal vt100 not available or something like that.
Could you tell me how to run cgps?

When viewing gpsd in the terminal, I did not notice changes between NMEA mode and Sirf mode, but it was very cold outside, so maybe I didn't hang out long enough to be able to see it. Running qpegps it is also not a constant change between the 2 modes, I just noticed it changing now and then. In the old version, it only gave me questionmarks.

For what I've seen this version is quite an improvement on 0.9.2.3 so I really hope to be able to run it! I'm using it for geocaching mainly.

Thanks again

Software / Qpegps 0.9.3 Released

« on: March 18, 2007, 10:52:43 am »

I'm using the Sl3200 with Sharp Rom and I'm trying this new and very promissing version of qpegps (the use of tiled maps, and the googlemaps interface from ztep makes the map management a lot easier).

Qpegps is communicating with gpsd (v2.34), showing sometimes the NMEA mode, sometimes SIRF mode. A while (varying from within 2 minutes to up to 5 minutes) after a fix is found qpegps hangs.

It does not seem to matter if I'm at the map-tab, or at the gps tab (actually it also happens when I'm at the terminal while running Qpegps.

If I kill both qpegps and gpsd, the qpegps icon stays in the statusbar and I can startup qpegps from there again, going into the same procedure. If I do not kill gpsd I am not able to restart qpegps.

When qpegps hangs, gpsd is still running fine and giving me positions.

When I start qpegps from the terminal (by simply typing qpegps, don't know if that's right) I get the following  message:

Display size = 480x640
card ready
start script called

QLibrary open failed:! /home/QtPalmtop/lib/libqsfepj.so, libkke.so.1: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory

The first file is however located (or linked? I recall to have worked on this file during a previous attempt) in the mentioned directory. The second is not present in the Zaurus) at all.

I hope this post is not too long (tried to be as complete as possible), and that someone can point me in the right direction to solve this issue.

Thanks!

The slcalc source is available, so it should be possible to add it to OE.

This last option is preferable to me   as I'm one of those finding RPN calculators very difficult to handle....

Installing X/Qt seems to be a total new issue from what I've read around here (didn't manage sofar).

vputz: I'm definitely going to check out octave. Matlab in my pocket sounds great!

Hi,

I'm exploring OZ/Opie on my SL-C3000. At first sight I like it very much, it seems to be way faster than the Sharp rom.

I'm wondering if there's any scientific calculator available in OZ/Opie? I was using slcalc on the Sharprom and thought it very usefull.

Thanks!

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Initialize Hdd Error

« on: July 03, 2006, 02:26:23 am »

That would be nice ThC, I tried so much that I don't remember anymore what I did and what I didn't.... The size of the .tar was something about 48 Meg. I remember to have read that the tar.gz should be something of 19.

I'll be out of web for the next 4 weeks (probably, it could be that I'll get desperate again of course and return here beforehand   ).

I'm running Cacko now, but it seems not quite stable when running qpegps with a cf GPS.

CU,
Annemarie

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Initialize Hdd Error

« on: July 01, 2006, 04:40:49 pm »

Firstly I'd like to apologize for posting in the wrong forum. I was quite tired after two nights of trying to restaure the Zaurus....
Maybe someone can move this thread for me?

However, problem has been solved so far by installing Cacko1.23beta1.
As I'm leaving on holidays I'm quite relieved, but I might the answer on the above some days.... So I still hope someone can help me out.....

Thanks,

Annemarie

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Initialize Hdd Error

« on: June 30, 2006, 07:47:48 pm »

Hi all,

It seems that I as well have run into trouble...
My beloved C3000 will not boot anymore, and is giving me the initialize hdd error message. I followed the "Howto restore from scratch page" which I luckily found back in the dark archives of the www (thanks to someone else here).
However, I think when it comes to copying the files to the hdd1 partition I'm missing the point.
I found the SLC3000SYSPART.zip from Trisoft, but the instructions are not clear enough for me I'm afraid. Following the Howto, I would need to have a hdd1.tar.gz, so I happily gzipped the hdd1.tar from Trisoft, but this does not seem to work.
As I'm quite new in Linux, could someone point me in the right direction, and give some better instructions?
I would be very greatful!

I hope you guys don't shoot me for eventually posting at the wrong forum/or for starting a thread where I should have followed up an old one.....

Thanks again,

Annemarie
