Thanks, NeilBrown Is there a similar possibility for the neo900? If so, my answer would also be no and yes. I see that Silicon Labs has a chip that does FM and weather band (si4739), but without transmit. If there is no place to cram a tx antenna, maybe this would be a good option. It looks like they are almost pin compatible - I think am antenna would replace tx antenna. I would vote fpr the si4732/si4735. It does not include weather band, but short wave. weather band is afaik an us-only thing.

Re: [All?] Dictator - the most undemocratic recording and dictation software ever
Hi, The only thing I notice, in our (community) work is that today we have a LOT of applications doing gpx recording (going with memory, I remember TangoGPS, BikeAtor, Navit, probably also GPS Sight and Mumpot). Some applications have a database to insert POIs (like TangoGPS), but still doesn't exists something integrating all the features we (OSMmappers/surveyors) need. Intregrating such things is on my todo list for mumpot. For now, I mark start and end points of a way while cycling on it (in between I select the highway class), osm data is directly created and take a photo of street signs or other things which I do not directly map on the place (perhaps for the name of a POI, or if the POI is not in my presets). Sometimes I stop to do some correction or manual editing. I upload the osm data on the go directly from mumpot. At home (on the next day or so) I download the osm data for the area again in JOSM and add the street names and other stuff from the photos. I really think an integrated solution would be best because then you do not need to switch between applications all the time and the space on the screen is limited. So doing voice recording could be a kind of fallback which can be activated on every object insertion if the presets are not enough. I'm also thinking about using buttons in the headset for example to start recording, or especially on the bicycle scenario, what about extra buttons on the handlebar?

synchronizing audio + accelerometer data
Hi, I would like to know much syncrhonizing is possible between audio input and accelerometer input. How much can it be improved with kernel modifications?

What would also be nice is a good way to synchronize accel data and GPS data, so that, ie when walking or running, the accelleration is stored with the GPS data. Just keep your system clock in sync with network or with the gps clock and you are done. The /dev/input/event2 or /dev/input/event3 With sound that is afaik not as easy as that.

the second for the y-axis, the thirs for the z-axis.
The value for the x axis does not change.
I get no data for /dev/input/event2.
From a cursory look, hexdump /dev/input/event2 and
hexdump /dev/input/event3 both show accelerometer data on my phone.
ok, neod seems to do something with them and seems to sometimes reconfigure
them.
That seems to be the reason why I got no data.
I have managed to get values from event2, too now.

Accelerometer
Hi,

the second for the y-axis, the thirs for the z-axis.
The value for the x axis does not change.
I get no data for /dev/input/event2.
Is there any magic switch to enable it?
Only one of the accel entries in /proc/interrupts changes its value

Since I understand that the cable is kind of custom, and that's one of the highlights of the neo (being able to connect usb stuff directly to it), I think it should be included. as far as I understand, the Y-cable was needed when you want to power your neo at the same time you want to connect an external device to it. So the cable is not needed if you just want to attach an usb device.

Re: TomTom on Openmoko?
Hi, On Fri, 28 Mar 2008 09:40:05 +0100 Alessandro Iurlano [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My area too is poorly mapped. But what I think is that once someone start using a commercial program because they need it, they will never get back to a free project if it is not yet able to deliver the same service. My understanding is that the development of free projects is started and driven by a need. If needs are fulfilled by another program, the effort that is put in developing the free project lowers considerably. I really look forward for an Openmoko application able to display and let me update OSM (by gathering gps data or directly on the road). In my opinion OSM is not only about replacing non-free mapping data. Information can also be added which is not considered to be worth to be added by the comercial map providers. When I'm traveling by bicycle I check for OSM availability because if there is good OSM data available these maps are often better for cyclists, than many non-free maps. So I think there are needs which won't be easily fulfilled by non-free maps. The bicycle stuff is just an example.
