Re: GTA04 : which new life for GTA02 motheboards ?
You could make a little and low-power server wtih it, or a gps antenna for the netbook/notebook, or, also, you could make a combo with arduino using her antennas and accelerometers for some projects... ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

The idea of the server is nice, (mine is a netbook motherboard nailed on the wall!), but i have to add a ethernet dongle...Ho , I can make a fully wireless server (no network wire, no power wire !) ;-) ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: GTA04 : which new life for GTA02 motheboards ?
i don't know about GTA04 GPS system, i'm not well informed about it. (mine is a netbook motherboard nailed on the wall!) epic win :P however, ethernet over usb is not a great idea: if you don't find an adapter with external power, your battery will hardly resist for more than an hour xD on the other hand, if you use wireless you can plug the AC adapter on the usb port. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I thought GTA04 use the old GPS... isnt it ? It resuses the GPS antenna module. But you can still connect an external GPS antenna (@ca. 5 EUR - must have MMCX cable and 3V/15mA). The bare board has: * CPU, RAM, Flash, SD card * GPS * USB * WLAN, Bluetooth * headset jack * accelerometer Most likely you will reuse the display... GSM/GPRS should simply stay disabled since you don't have an antenna connection. But you could even add some through the antenna connector/switch. The GTA02 module runs without battery if powered through USB. Running it with a battery is a little complex since the batters spring contacts push away the battery which is only hold by the plastic parts. The idea of the server is nice, (mine is a netbook motherboard nailed on the wall!), but i have to add a ethernet dongle...Ho , I can make a fully wireless server (no network wire, no power wire !) ;-) Some more that come immeditately to my mind: * GSM network monitor * WLAN based server (harddisk on Y-cable on USB port) * GPS tracker that can be read through WLAN * wireless bluetooth headset adapter * WLAN/VOIP headset adapter * shaking gesture based wireless keyboard/mouse Hope this helps to find even more ideas! ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
