Re: connecting an iPod as a External Hard Drive

I think the problem is the iPod firmware: it won't go into disk mode unless it gets power from the USB port.

However, older iPods (2nd gen, I think, maybe 3rd gen, too) that didn't charge over USB...

Re: N900 will not allow USB OTG!

Hmmm, I like hooking my Arduino up to my N800. In the N900 PUSH documents, they seem to use a bluetooth-serial adapter ("BlueSMIRF bluetooth modem"). Bummer.

Re: Grabbing analog input from usb port on nokia n800

It's actually not very hard. See my page http://www.ece.mcgill.ca/~jthiem/projects.html for a simple control-LED-on-Arduino using python and pyserial. This is all you need as a framework to read...

Re: Grabbing analog input from usb port on nokia n800

Ummmm..... what? You can't read the analog value of a voltage on the USB port. No, really.

You might be thinking of the microphone port (on the headphone plug). Easier, but I don't know the DC...

Re: Using N810 Remote Desktop

You are looking for "xrdp". I have it installed on a Ubuntu 8.04 system, it seems to work well enough, but I have never used it with pyRdesktop to any degree. Might be worth a shot though.

Re: Problem with external SD card operations

Re: USB charge cable for 1$

I'm a new N800 user, having bought one from someone in my lab. He only had a UK charger, and no adapter for Canadian sockets. He gave me a cheapo CA-100 knockoff with it, didn't matter since I have...

Re: Using the web interface of GMAIL from my N800

I have bookmarked
https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=html
