Dash Express Software on the freerunnner?

2008-03-26 Thread William Voorhees
I was wondering if any portion of the Dash Express software might be made available for the openmoko freerunner, it seems like a great way to enhance both offerings (More capable phone, better traffic data). -Will ___ Openmoko community mailing list

Possibility of running Dash Express navigation software on the Neo 1973?

2008-01-02 Thread William Voorhees

Hi, I live in Southern Minnesota, in the area indicated by the blue spot on this map: http://people.ku.edu/~cinema/wireless/cing-attws_800_850.html It would seem that I would be a candidate for testing the 850mhz reception. Let me know if I can help. -Will On Dec 9, 2007 8:46 PM, Richard

The Polar HR Monitor equipment does a very simple 5hz pulse that can then be picked up and counted to get HR data.The hardware simply amplifies pluses in the 5hz frequency range, which could then be fed into a General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) line on the Neo 1973 itself. This is great because

I've looked into this quite a bit, if you'd like to integrate with a HR Monitor/Cadience/Speed sensor the option that makes the most sense is to use the ANT(thisisant.com) wireless protocol to interact with any of the sensor made by garmin or suunto.Suunto produces a USB-Ant interface called the

I realize the 850mhz issue is complex and you can't give an answer right away, but I'd like to know when we could expect one? I'm one of the many North American's who needs the 850 band, and If I know it's coming I'm going to start doing some software dev, if it's not I'll start looking elsewhere.
