[Q] I need to do MHLkablo schema - Hardware Hacking General

I need to do MHLkablo schema or doccument

We speak English on this forum.. You are looking for a MHL Cable Schematic as defined here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_High-definition_Link correct?
Here is a partial schematic in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088234 You may find more by searching for a Mobile High Definition Link Pinout.
What is your goal?

As an example, I can tell you that GalaxyS and GalaxyS2 devices switche the output internally via the FSA chip to the USB port. This is done by placing a resistance value across usb pins 4 and 5 (aka pin x and pin 4) the data is passed across D+ and D- (Pins 2 and 3) then converted to HDMI on the output of the adapter. The adapter is powered externally by an additional USB connection and the device can be charged while simultaniously. The HDMI output from these devices are standard HDMI

I'm not sure about the communication format between the device and the HDMI adapter nor the resistance value required for the FSA chip. See the GalaxyS Hack Pack or GalaxyS2 hack pack for more on the FSA chip which handles USB switching for the MHL.

Send a signal through mini-sub

EDIT: Oh damn, I meant mini-USB not sub xD
Hi!
I'm new to this forum, but I'm not new to Windows mobile. I have a Canon 40D and I don't want to spend $300 for a remote controller so I want to make one myself. Now I found how to close a shutter on my canon 40D with a serial port:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(Full article: http://www.covingtoninnovations.com/dslr/CanonRelease40D.html)
But now the problem is: I don't have a serial port on my HTC Tytn. Now I have 2 choises:
One: I've found that mini-USB cannot send a RTS signal. I've found then a miniUSB to serial adapter: http://www.usbgear.com/computer_cab...&cats=199&catid=482,1303,199,461,106,1009,601
But can I connect that adapter to my HTC and send a signal to usb so the serial port can send out a RTS signal? Or do you need some specials drivers for that? I can program with C# but i'm not a pro so I can't program any drivers for my HTC
Two: Can I make the mini-USB port, on my HTC, trigger a relay? (I've also found this: http://www.soft82.com/download/mobile/relay-timer-ppc/ but you'll need a relay board for this that costs $120 and like I said i don't want to spend that money.)
Thx for help, but if you don't know how to manage that, it's no problem.
PS: sry for my english

RS232 input project!!!!

I work with serial interfaces all day and when I travel to work, having a way to interface the Imagio over serial would be fabulous!
So here I ask for all suggestions on how to do this and will be well taken.
The first thing that came to mind was that I could make a USB cable to interface with a RS232-USB converter as I would on any other windows computer. But does Windows Mobile have Plug And play??? How could I add such a communication port to the device ? And what about drivers? Has this being done before?
I had a few options and one of them was to use a Serial to Bluetooth adapter, I have tried one I got from KCWirefree some time ago and managed to send serial data both ways at diferent baud rate. Only issue is I have to reprogram the baud rate on the adapter each time which kills the purpose of the adapter it self.
So I found this,

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Which is closer to what I would like, if there is a way to use those data +/- then we could use a adapter the baudrate would only be changed on the HTC. Still looking...
I believe I have found some more answers...
In order to be able to connect this type of device I would need to have a
USB Host which I believe I have found:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-zeno-usb-host-drivers.html
http://rapidshare.de/files/45220151/__Zeno_USB_Host_Drivers_v6.0a.rar.html
It includes a few of the universal serial drivers and also some mass storage stuff...
I found a small adapter which I will be ordering/testing soon...

Problem with 3.1 Ice Cream

Will we be unable to do HDMI out and use a controller since they use the same ports?

HDMI out is MHL; controllers are USB OTG. I believe it's a hardware limitation that the two can't be used together, unfortunately. But nothing stopping you from using a wireless one (if there's one that works).

Yes that's what I meant with this only apply to GSII. I guess only a bluetooth controller would work though.
I think that the MHL-adapter will have an micro-USB port on it. It looks like it will on these pictures as well:

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

}
But I don't really have any reliable source to that.
The Micro USB port on the side of the adapter lets you charge your phone while in use.

[Q] Connector bus, huawei ideos s7

Hi, does anybody know the name or the connector type located beside the SD slot on the S7? That's the one that was supposed to fit the docking station right? Is it available anywhere?
The only thing I found on the web a few days ago is that the docking station is supposed to have a couple of USB ports and and a HDMI if my memory serves me right.
Can anybody set me straight on this and/or point the way to where that connector can be ordered from?
Thanks very much.

Correction of original post
Sorry, I should have mentioned that I'm talking about the s7-104, not the Slim.
I found the link again, it's from december 2010 on androidtablets.net
androidtablets.net/forum/huawei-ideos-s7-accessories/3606-huawei-s7-dock-could.html
It shows clearly a couple of usb and an HDMI port.
If the docking station is not available, what is the connector type? If it's available... where?
Thanks a lot,
T
cant find anything about the dock for sell for the older s7 model in the internet other than the link that you provide

ebay.de/itm/Dockingstation-Huawei-Ideos-S7-Slim-S7-weis-/170791989011?pt=DE_Handy_PDA_Ladegeräte_Dockingstationen&hash=item27c3feef13#ht_500wt_898
maybe the dock is compatible with ur's
good luck in searching

Using with a SlimPort adapter

Has anyone used a SlimPort adapter to connect to a TV? I wonder if you get true 1080p @ 60Hz.
Also, is there a specific adapter model that you have to get to guarantee that it'll work? I'm thinking about getting this one:

}
As you can see in THIS article, SlimPort has 36 bpp color depth, resolution of 1080r / 60 frames per second and average rate of data transmission of 480 Mbit/second .
I have connected using a cheap eBay slimport adapter . The adapter worked with my LG G2 as well. I can't confirm the resolution you seek however.
I'm completely thrilled that this phone is packed with EVERYTHING. First I was a little sad when I saw that it doesn't support MHL.. Then I read about this slimport thingy here and understood that slimport is basically the same (you just need different adaptors)
Apart slimport in device specification mentioned is "3.5mm AV connector" .
AV means Audio-Video?
So is there RCA support too (like in Galaxy S or Nokia 808 pureview)?
