Pocket Logger Using an IPAQ?

[95Tclips]

i got the IPAQ 3955.. i'm wondering if i can use it like the palm as a pocket logger? is there such thing? software/hardware?!

I don't think that the pocket logger will work with the Ipaq as it is designed to be used with Palm's pocket OS...however, there is the possibility that that since your Ipaq runs on Windows CE that you might be able to use the regular Datalogger....but you would need a cable made.....which would require tweaking of the software to recognize the inputs. But if enough people wanted one for the WindowsCE based palms, then maybe they would make one. I have a Casio BE-300 and would love a logger for it.

you also might be able to get a palm emulator for you Ipaq....

I would love to see the pocketlogger application ported to WinCE as well. I never thought of getting an emulator though...that's a good idea :)

I found an emulator for Windows although I'm not sure if i'll actually use the computer's COM port to access the ODB-II port.

In addition I found a page entitled PalmOS emulator for PocketPC, but the page is in German....

If anyone can translate that or find an english version that would rock.

The alex pepper data logger is available for a reasonable price at http://www.obd-2.com I was planning on getting it until I read that it doens't datalog very well because it loses it's connection to the ECU. People seem to say that it's only good for reading CEL codes and resetting them.

DSM link has data-logging abilities and is much more powerful (and also expensive).

There's probably a handful of others, but these 3 are probably the most common.

On a side note, I was searching for that odb-2 site above and found this

Just the reason this thread started in the first place =) Has anyone seen this before or even better used it?

CoPilot aka the Palm emulator wont work with Pocketlogger on a PC
I asked Mike(? digital tuning) about it a bit back.
he said it made testing a pain.
