Connect a PIC/MCU micro controller to serial port of phone

Hello,
I am relatively new to j2me programming and i would lke to ask if it's possible to connect a MCU to the serial port of the phone and receive streamng data while the MIDlet is on?
If so how can this be done> Does it work the same way a serial connection? I connect the MCU to the USB pins then to the mobile phone.
Does anyone who have worked with this care to share their valuable experience? Thanks in advance.

Hi, i checked with the helpdesk from motorola and they replied that i require a license to access the proprietary interface (please refer to the reply below). I'm thinking ofusing Sony Ericsson k610i since it's JP-7. However, I wonder if they have similar issues with it.
It seems that since we are to interfacing with a PC, the allocation of a virtual port might be a problem, that'smy main concern.
FAQ found in motorola website:
We'd like to connect a RS232 device to a RAZR V3 phone. From a Java API perspective this is possible via the CommAPI.
We have succesfully tested to connect the RAZR V3 Mini-USB with a PC via a USB-cable - and we were able to transmit data from the RAZR V3 to the PC (Hyper Terminal) and vice versa.
Which technology is needed in the RS232 device (no PC - just a stand alone RS232 device) to communicate to the RAZR V3 via the Mini-USB?
Answer
We do not normally support the use of non-PC RS232 connections to current Motorola handsets. The only serial connection supported is serial-over-USB, where the handset is connected to a USB port on a PC, and the PC operating system assigns a virtual COM port to the USB connection for this purpose. Microsoft Windows is normally needed to meet this requirement.
Although RS232 functionality exists within the handsets, it is a Motorola proprietary interface only available to firms who licence the technology from us. Motorola currently licenses the CE Bus technology to selected 3rd party companies interested in building accessories for our PCS devices. Please contact Gene Eggleston ([email protected]) or telephone 847-523-4976 (USA) for information on the license and business arrangement. As a licensee you will receive a specification that details the access and use of Motorola's CE Bus.

Unable to connect to SRW224P via web base and serial port on the front until reboot switch

Just installed new SRW224P switch 4 days ago and we lose connectivy to the SRW224P manage switch. Try to Web in to device and also direct serial port unable to get connected, reboot and it works for a little bit but then we loose connectivity again. Also the computers connected to the switch loose their IP address and sometimes unable to get a DHCP address assigned back from are server.
Any suggestions?

Can we connect xbee to cfp2020 controllers serial port for wireless communication

hi,
i wanna do data aqcuisition using ethernet as well as wireless technologies, for that i wanna use xbee with cpf 2020. is it possible?
thanks in advance

You can do it fine..
I am guessing the wireless modem is really a router as well. When you say wireless do you mean 3g internet or 4g internet or do you mean cable or adsl and a wireless modem router.?? It is just helpful to know what you are talking about by wireless modem or wireless internet.
You have that plugged into ethernet over power (EOP) adapters .. that is great.
Plugged into TV again that is fine.. although I am unclear what or how it is decoding.. is it IPTV??
Now to your specific questions.
Now, is it possible to
a) connect the Time Capsule to the powerline, so it can act as an access point? When connected to this powerline (ethernet) I hope I won't loose speed to the wireless connection
Yes, the TC needs to be bridged..
Go to manual setup of the Airport utility.. click on the internet tab.. go to connection sharing on the bottom of that page.. select off bridge mode.. update the TC.
Now you can plug the TC into the EOP adapter. And it will work as Wireless Access Point.. WAP or short AP.. and switch.
Plug the TV into the TC as well.. that should all work fine.
b) will I be able to connect my digital tv-decoder to the TC without any problems? So the TC is the decoder's "ethernet port"?
Hope this is a bit clear, as English is not my mothertongue...
IPTV can be complicated to setup and exactly how it works will depend on the main router.. sometimes IPTV is only delivered to a specific ethernet port.. in which case the above suggestion will not work.. you can use either internet or the TV.. not both..

Add push button tp Micro-controller

Hi All,
I appreciate if you read my problem and answer me:).
I am using CSMB12 micro controller, which has port S as a SCI. 2 pins of this port is TXT and 2 pins are RXT. Right now i used one pair of these pins for both Bluetooth and LCD. now I need to add push button to my system, whenever I click on the push button, my micro start working and calculating the program, and whenever i click it again, it stops calculating and show the value on the LCD, and use another button for sending data by Bluetooth.
my problem is:
1-I used one SCI for both LCD and Bluetooth, how can I separate them?
2-Do you have a y sample codes for adding push button switch?
If you need my code, i can upload it.
really thank you.
Regards,
Sb

Just create the the UINavigationController wherever you need to show its root view controller. With no storyboard segue you would typically use something like this. I initiated from a UIButton action for this example. Instead of a generic UITableViewController, use the custom view controller class of your root view controller (PauseMenuTableViewController?). If you are using old-school nib/xib, replace initWithStyle with initWithNibName.
- (IBAction)showWhateverViewButtonClick:(id)sender {
    // create whatever view controller type will be the root of the navigation controller
    UIViewController *rootViewController = [[UITableViewController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStylePlain];
    // create a navigation controller using that view controller for the root
    UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootViewController];
    // show the navigation controller (modal)
    [self presentViewController:navigationController animated:YES completion:NULL];

Using a PS/2 keyboard on a Sparc workstation through the serial port

We have recently migrated an application that used to run on a PC, to now run on a Sparc Workstation. This is a SunBlade 1500, running Solaris 8. The application is running in a dedicated console which has a fitted keyboard and trackerball that have PS/2 connectors and cannot be changed.
We need a way of connecting the PS/2 keyboards to the serial ports of the Sparc workstation. We already have a piece of software that will read ascii values from the serial port so we definately want to go through the serial ports.
Can someone please suggest what converters will be required to get the output of the keyboard and trackerball as ascii input to the serial port.

Actually, that's not a bit perverse, at all.
Jonathan's suggestion is a standard method of connecting to a server.
(null cable between the computer serial ports)
... see the Solaris man pages.
man tip
TeraTerm and Hyperterminal are customarily used on a PC running some dialect of Windows.
The 'tip' command is all that's necessary between Solaris systems.
PS/2 is not a serial connection, but is a keyboard/mouse interface 'invented' by IBM when they offered their XT-class PS/2 line of desktop systems, back in the 1980's.
I found this next link by using Google:
http://members.chello.at/theodor.lauppert/computer/ps2/
The smaller DIN ports were more compact than the AT-class keyboard ports and the mouse moved from a serial port to a dedicated mouse port.
Serial communication devices are not keyboards, per se,
and keyboards are not serial communication devices.
You need other hardware in between to translate what the human being sends, and another computer is a common method to accomplish that translation.
Having said all that ...
Since you cannot change the dedicated console hardware,
I suggest you go to the manufacturer of that console equipment
and have them suggest some sort of serial-to-serial interface lash-up.

Controlled reading from serial port

I'm trying to establish a connection to an external device through the serial port. This is done in a while-loop which sends an association request tries to get a response if a response is not recieved a new rewuest is sent, etc. At the moment this procedure does not work. I am considering two explanations for this. The first is that the loop does not wait long enough for a response to come and simply keeps pumping out requests, the other is that there is something wrong with the reading algorithm, that doesn't let it properly take in information from the serial port.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I made a new version of the read case. The old version was a while loop, the new version is a while loop which will go on until it encounters an EOF character. In this case it is
0xC1 or 'Á'. I thought the old version would break before getting any message. This doesnt get any signal either. I have probed it, and it doesn't get a string from which to take the length.

Serial Port Echo Disabling

Is there a way to turn off an echo on the serial port?
I am sending some commands to the serial and they get echoed back before I can read a reply. Sending the same commands via Socket doesn't give me an echo, so my algorithm for Serial and TCP/IP connection has to differ. It would be nice, however, to just turn off the echo.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Janny.

I am not connecting through a modem but doing a direct serial connection from PC to a telecom equipment serial port. IF I disable an echo using ATE modem command the equipment I sent the commands to freaks out since it can't recognize the command.

Communicating Thru COM /Serial port

Hi,
I am developing POS system. The Display pole is connected on com1 and cash drawer on serial port. Can anyone help me how if i have a variable var_amt and want to display it on the pole[com1] what command to use i.e. how to open com / serial port thru forms.
Thanks in Advance

We have an old Forms application that needed to dial a modem through the serial port. Here's some code to maybe get you started. I'm going to assume you're on Windows.
Step 1:
Attach an OLE object to your canvas, and point that to MSCOMMLib.MSComm.1 (the MS serial port handler).
Step 2:
Sample code. This is our DIAL_PHONE proedure that receives a phone number, opens the COM port (in our case COM2), sends the modem dial strings, and waits for a respomse back from the mode. I'm not an expert, we just taught ourselves enough to get this one functionality to work.

You have to remove all cables before connecting to your computer with micro usb. Power is only connected when using a 3rd gen device and done after the initial connection.

Micro controller

Dennis Knutson,
Some time back ( 1/26/05) you were helping someone with a problem communicating with a micro controller. You said if you tried to read too few bytes the vi times out. I'm using the Serial Read Write that ships with LV 7.1. One of our test is to verify that we do not have communications between one serial port to another. The operator keeps the cable off the UUT on the receive but has it on the send port and runs the vi. He verifies no data is received on the Read side of the port of interest. How can I handle this vi error to turn it into a pass/fail criteria for LV7.1? It looks like a Windows error message that pops up. I just want to display PASS or FAIL to the operator. I don't want to display the error message.
Thanks,
Clint

This is the "popup" I get and am trying to avoid see attached. I tried it at my desk w/o any serial card hooked up in case you'd like to try too. Just run the LABVIEW>>Serial vi that is under help>examples>search> type in serial. The vi is the 1st one in the list. If you open it and run it w/o changing anything you get the error I mentioned.
I want the SW to handle the error not the test person. They would have to hit "Continue" to .....continue ! This looks more like a Windows error rather than a LV error. Maybe something with an event vi ???

8500 Controller - No Serial Access

I am prestaging a 8500 series wireless controller and am having problems getting connected to it. I apply power and connect my serial connector to the serial port at the back - i see nothing on my putty session. I have connected VGA so can see the box boots, it gets to
"Decompressing Linux......done.
Booting the kernel."
No messages appear after this. From the install guide i can see that using the serial connection is the proper approach, but i have absolutely nada appearing on screen. I've checked serial cable with another box, seems ok - only difference is the gender changer i am using on the 8500, but this is brand new.
Am i doing something completely stupid??
j

I don't believe it will work converting that way. You will require the following:
http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/Tripp-Lite-DB9F-RJ45-Modular-Serial-Adapter-Ethernet-to-Console-Server/1787786.aspx?cm_mmc=ShoppingFeeds-_-GoogleBase-_-Cables/Network%20Cables-_-1787786_Tripp%20Lite%20DB9F%20-%20RJ45%20Modular%20Serial%20Adapter%20Ethernet%20to%20Console%20Server_TRI-B090-A9F
Then you should have no issues getting into the console normally.

Control a micro-controller via usb

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to control a micro-controller via usb using a java program. The micro-controller is used as an on/off switch. Is there a micro-controller that has a java driver provided?
thanks

The environment for Arduino is programmed in Java ( http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software ) and you can use Java serial comms to communicate with it ( http://www.csc.kth.se/utbildning/kth/kurser/DH2400/interak06/6-Comm.html ).
Mine hasn't arrived yet, but I'm planning to play with one.

Unfortunately, no Sanyo phones are iSync compatible so you will not be able to synchronize your Contacts and Calendars with the phone.
Also, you may have problems with the Bluetooth adapter you purchased, as the only one officially supported by Apple for use with Macs is the D-Link DBT-120.
The Official Apple list of iSync compatible devices is here:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html
It's always a good idea to check this list before purchasing a new phone.
Other phones are supported by third party plugins from here and here. But still no Samsung, Sanyo, LG etc. who all use thier own proprietary syncing protocols rather than the industry standard SyncML. These manufacturers also don't provide Mac software with their phones like the do for Windows users.
I'm afraid you're not going to have much luck if you stick with the Sanyo. I would seriously consider taking it back and swapping it for one of the handsets on the above linked pages. Personally I would recommend a Sony Ericsson model. I've always had excellent Mac compatibility with those.

Connect Flash to Serial Port with Local Socket Connection

Hey all,
So, I am trying to connect a Flash movie to a serial port
and have it react to the input coming in. Of course, Flash does not
have this capability built in, so I need a workaround. I also
program in Director, and there are easier ways to deal with this
there, but since there hasn't been an update in years, and for
other technical reasons, I would like to use a pure Flash program.
I also need to take advantage of some of the new hardware
acceleration improvements and horizontal sync issues that come with
running the Flash player full screen. So, there are some tools out
there that will let me stream the input from the serial port to a
web address. I figure I could use the local address and assign a
port number, then use Flash to create a local socket connection. I
am having issues opening ports on my computer, and a few other
things, but in theory, I think it should work. I know that I won't
get all the answers here, but if anyone has done anything of the
sort, or might know of some similar projects, it would really help.
I am more of a Director/Flash programmer, and not so much one on
the system level. So, opening local sockets, etc, while I am sure I
can figure it out, is still a bit beyond me. Thanks all!
- Bruce

You may want to look into flash remoting, which would allow
you to push content to the flash movie. You could then write a
proxy between the source of your stream and flash the remoting
server.

Connecting direct to serial port

Hi to all!!
I need to connect flash direct to serial port to send and
receive data.
I know that i have to look for some API, but all that i fund
is some other software to do the interface, but i realy need is
distribut only the flash and not the flash and other software...
There is a way to connect direct to serial com?
If yes, how it works, were can i found information to do
this??
Tanks in advance!
