Re: PDA with usb host support and programming on VS2003

Most PDA have RS232 support. You just need a cable to bring it out to a
DB9.

Hi,

I was looking for a PDA with USB host controller so that I can connect
a USB dongle that could be recognized by it. Also are there any PDA's
that anybody has come across wwith RS232 support. I know that we can
use the serial port of the PDA that is used for Active-Sync. However
since that is proprietary, is there any way i could get a standard
serila port output. Is there any third party hardware/software that
could be used for this conversion.


We currently have USB device that connects to a PC and gets recognized
as serial port device.This USB device emulates a serial device. The
program to control it is written in VS2003.Now I would like to know if
there are any PDA's that would allow me to
connect this USB device( I could change the firm ware to behave as USB
rather than emulate a serial device). Alternatively i could also change

the design to a serial port if there are any PDA's that would allow
serial communication. Can i use VS2003/pocket pc SDK for doing similar
work on a PDA?


The TDS recon is one such PDA...but it way too expensive.


Any input is welcome.


Thanks in advance


Regards,
Swaroop Shekar
