Well there you have it the first mk1/ 2 direct plug usb cable, you can keep it plugged in and turned off, even mount the usb to the dash and just plug in switch on and log away.Tested just now and working well, will undergo more tests then start making more and will let you know when ready.

Well you canāt ā ā ā ā ā ā get them now some one has to do it I suppose
These will fit all palm m130 all 500 series and the tunsten w and 700 series not the earlier AA battery type, the Palms ordered i now have 4, 2 more to get then as and when required will make and source more.
I will be selling them on eBay as leed on its own and palm if I can source enough, but it is Time consuming tbh so turnaround after this will be 2 weeks.

Just a thoughtā¦ if struggling to source suitable equipment, why dont you keep 2 yourself and offer a rental service at a cost.

I did consider this when i had my palm and laptop both with logging, but decided the weight of posting back and forth wasnāt worth it, the palm is alot lighter so possibly.
As with all hire there would Have to be deposits left for damage and loss (although registered post would have to be used both ways)
Will get these done and see where Iām at and get back to you guys.
Cheers dave

Might be a stupid question but has anyone looked at doing it with something like an arduino? Should be pretty simple to do if you can count the pulses.
Iād give it a go if anyone thinks it is feasible

The arduino is essentially a little computer that can take analogue or digital inputs. I can then do stuff with the data and output it to a little screen (Iām a programmer). You could also log the data on it and then connect to a phone or computer over Bluetooth.
To be honest Iām not amazingly knowledgeable on what kind of data the car outputs or whether it would work, but Iād give it a go if itās any use?

All I understand is 2 wires come outā¦ How the hell one wire sending pulses to a palm does this i have no ideaā¦if it was me I would take a hacksaw to the palm and shove it behind the dash lol. Most i can manage is making the leeds up Iām no technology expert would love for someone to make something for the general market we can do that with, but as usual with numbers dwindling and finding ppl who would want to pay I suppose thatās why.
