Is there a way to use the logger on a Pocket PC?

I'm just wondering if there is a way to use the logger on a Pocket PC (IPAQ H3950)? I have a PC Card to USB adapter that I can use with it.

For starters, you'd need a Windows CE driver for the Tactrix cable. I don't think Tactrix offers one. Anyone know if a generic USB-serial driver would work?

It looks like there is a FTDI driver for Windows CE.

The PDA needs to have USB host functionality, and able to detect the Tactrix cable.

All you can do now is try it...

Let us know what you find.

I have an IPAQ with the PC card expansion sleeve. If I install a PCMCIA to USB card would that give me the USB host functionality?

If it has the right connector, it almost certainly has a host controller. That's one reason USB cables have different connectors on each end.

(Though there is a new 'USB on the go' spec that will confuse things a bit.)
