serial port problem in mio P350

[Guest]

Hi all i have this strange problem with a MIO P350, i am trying to open and
read from its serial port or better i have a craddle which fill in the pcoket
pc with a mini usb and exits with a serial ..

but it seems that nothing happens , i'll send bytes but nothing is received..
the craddle would work because i can see that thought it passes the stupid
packets of the active sync..but I can't send or recived my bytes.

So i don't put here code because it is very simple :
open port
read to certain char

my question is : is there some strange operation that you have to do in
order to reaf from serial port? i have no problem with an HP, only thing i
had to disable the voice receive all signal throught IR..is there any other
setting that i probably don't know which disturb my pockey PC?

Thanks for the attention , and sorry because my question is not very clear..

Hi blue...
1. Disable ActiveSync connection with your mio P305
In PC site ActiveSync - Connection Settings - disable allow the connection
via COM port.
2. Use the NULL modem cable to connect your mio with the PC
Then open the Terminal in PC for output/input the text from/to your
mio
with proper configurations ( like baud rate, parity.....etc, to be
the same as in the serial app running on your mio.)

PS. * make sure the port isnt occuppied by create the COM with a valid handle.
* For more programming the Serial APP in C#/VB.NET/C++ plz refer to
www.codeproject.com search for the key word : Serial or COM port

I hope this would be helpful...

Regards

Thanks, for your response I'll try your suggestions even if i have read
around that probably the MIO P350 doesn't allow the serial comunication (any
RS232 signal output..these are the words), i think this is quite strange but
Carcom, the company which has made the craddle, gives this information to me
(as i said very strange they make a cradle for serial comunication with any
wires to serial, i open the cradle and no wires inside for the serial, only
for the alimentation) ... Do you know if this is false? Have you ever heard
something about MIO P350? I have written to MIO but no response..

Best regards..
