Have bben working with a Plam application that read data from a device connected on the serial port. Had some problems with it. To see what actually was received I needed some tools and I found these;
RealTerm from SourceForge. Its specifically developed for debugging serial communication!
HCalc was also convinient to have when calculating CRCs.
The RealTerm people are working on another project I should check out when I got time. A PIC programmer, called PP06.
Stumbled into this UNIX guide which seems to include a lot of useful information. Probably good to keep it, that why I blogged it 🙂
I have been working on a Palm application for somw days now. Its a tool to log data from a device connected to the serial port of the Palm. The data is stored in a file on the memory card. The first version will just support one specific device, the 3DM-G tilt and motion sensor from Microstrain Inc.
I stumbled into some weird problems. All worked just dine in the Palm Simulator on the PC but once I moved it to the Palm T3 I use the T3 crashed after each hotsync. This answers why: Re: HotSync Fatal Exception
Several years ago I made some hacks on the palm. One of the things at that time was a workshopI organized around Palm coding Swedish only). All the info and tools I collected at that time(specifically the links on the workshop page) are now all outdated. Through my company, YellowOrb I just got a customer who wanted a Palm program so I had to look for it all again. Here is what I have found so far regarding open-source developments tools for Palm.
The prc-tools project at SourceForge is the compiler to use. It used to be the old gcc tools for Palm development but have got much further now.
For building GUIs I have not yet find a really good and free tool. Visual Form Designer was nice to work with but was shareware, the free version is to limited. piBuilder is free but is not as easy to work with. PilotMag in another option but also is shareware.

Bluetooth ersätter kabel beskriver på svenska hur blåtand fungerar. Kan vara bra om man vill hacka ihop något blåtandigt framöver.
