Does anybody know of a way to get the dashboard on a pocket PC? I know of a PALM Compatible version, and the PC one, but how about one for Pocket PC (Windows CE 3.0)?

Hmmm, sounds like an interesting project for me(I've already got the Pocket PC developer's kit)...oh wait, I only have a USB sync cable...will see what I can come up with in the next few weeks...

hehe sounds good :)

My Casio Cassiopeia E-125 has a USB Cradle, but i also have a Serial Cradle, so I can use that for communication :) hehe

This isn't for pocket pc, but I do have some Windows code to read from the dashboard. It shouldn't be too difficult to adapt that to the PocketPC. It's available at http://www.bcpl.net/~mleese/dashboard.html

Nate,

Where can I find the SDK for PocketPC? I have a Cassiopeia with a serial cable. WooHoo!

Is there a simple VB program to read the data from a PocketPC?

Thanks,
Jason, #109

It's about a 150MB download from Microsoft's site(don't remember exactly where.) If you e-mail me your address, I can burn a copy and send it your way...

Thanks, Nate. I downloaded the development kit from Microsoft. I always wondered why it takes almost a Gig of hard drive space to write a 10K executable.

Who knows? Anyway, if you need any help decoding the dashboard packets, I can probably pull out my old code and retrofit it for the Pocket PC platform...
