Re: Universal connector

[Henk Jonas]

Hi,

Isn't it described at palm.com somewhere? At least it was for the M100 serial connector. As far as I can see it, VOUT is the 5?? V voltage which is mainly used to trigger the hotsync by connecting VOUT with HS IRQ. What ID and DETECT are, I don't know, but I would guess it's for the USB part of the connector. AFAIK, the universal connector includes both, USB and RS232.

But what do you mean with SG?

We are building a serial cable to connect our m125 to one of our own devices
via RS232. Our device normally communicates with a PC, so our serial cable
would be a normal Palm serial cable with a gender changer and a null modem
cable.

Since we would like to create some of our own cables, there are a couple of
pins I was curious about.

HS IRQ (5)
ID (8)
VOUT (9)
DETECT (12)

Do any of these need to be connected if we are just communicating with our
own device?

The ID and DETECT are connected to SG, but do we have to connect them?

VOUT and HS IRQ appear to only be related to HotSync'ing, so my guess is
they don't need to be.

Thanks,
Drew
