The mini-usb connector without an adapter doesn't help very much, but FR supports it. Usb drives, keyboards, (ethernet/3g/camera/tv) dongles, headset, arduinos, printers, and more. This makes FR the perfect pluggable gadget. For example, cameras like this (but with mini-usb) would be a good complement for existing FR: http://www.akihabaranews.com/en/en/news-12994- The+Volvox+USB+webcam+key.html ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Hacking nokia headset HS-40 to work with OM
Hello, Nokia HS-40 is a cheap mono headset that has a 2.5mm jack with 4 rings. It costs 9 EUR in spain. The pinout is INCOMPATIBLE with OM, hence nokia pinouts are incompatible with OM. Here it is the Nokia HS-40 pinout: Nokia HS-40 pinout: 1 (tip) - left (R=34 ohm to ground) 2- unused (in stereo models, probably connects right) 3- mic (mic resistance 1K1 to ground, if button is pressed 48R) 4 (base) - ground From this message, here it is the OM pinout: http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2008-March/013792.html Openmoko pinout: 1 (tip) - mic (2K2 ohm and 0R if button is pressed) 2- right 3- left 4 (base) - ground If we plug the headset in the OM, only one speaker would work (i never did it). This was reported by David Pottage in this message: http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2008-August/028219.html I stopped measuring and began hacking ;-) The little box which has the mic and the button, has two screws. If you remove them and open the case, you'll see 3 wires + 1 wire shielding coming from the jack. It should be 4 wires + shield, but nokia removed the unused wire from right speaker. Get a multimeter and find the wires that connect with pin 1 and 3 of the jack. Take a solder iron and swap wires from 1 and 3, and you have a headset with a pinout compatible with OM. I plugged the headset in the GTA02 and loaded the gsmheadset.state during a call. I only had to increase the gain of the output from 80% to 95% because the output from speaker was very low. 34R is below the 40R minimum impedance that joerg recommended in his message. Microphone is ok and people heard me fine. GSM buzz from https://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/883 is still randomly heard by the other end (slight in local). Button doesn't activate anything in the GTA02. I don't know if it should. The 48R smd resistance can be easily transformed into a shorcircuit if needed. I have a few photos, i could create a nokia headsets section in the wiki if you think is useful. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Nokia wired headsets compatibility
Hi, In this page at the wiki [1] describes the pinout of the headset connector. It also says that the four-ring 2.5mm stereo jack is used by motorola smartphones and the v-360. Both motorola smartphones and v-360 are very difficult to get in stores because v-360 is more than three years old. I've spend today three hours in a dozen stores in my city and i only found one, new but in very bad state, and very expensive (~25 eur). [1] http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Headset Some new nokia mobiles have the same kind of connector. This wiki page [2] says that the nokia 3.5-2.5 adapters doesn't work, but says nothing about nokia headsets. Some nokia headset model numbers with the same plug are: HS-45/AD-54, WH-700, HS-44/AD-44, HS-47, HS-40. Have you tried any of these on the Neo?
