mnischalke 0 #1 August 17, 2004 Am I crazy to think that I should be able to beam my jumps from my Neptune into my palm? I've got a Palm Zire 72 (os5.2.8), and I downloaded paralog companion, but I'll be damned if I can get the Palm and the Neptune to communicate via IR. It kinda makes sense to me that they should be able to communicate, but I might be set up wrong or doing something incorrectly. Anybody got any ideas or solutions? thanks in advance, mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

ianmdrennan 2 #2 August 17, 2004 Doesn't Paralog have a Palm interface? Check out http://www.vorpalware.com/paralog.html Blues, IanPerformance Designs Factory Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #3 August 17, 2004 When I saw that paralog worked with the neptune and a palm version existed, I got excited. But reading the web page, I didn't see anywhere that the palm could download directly from the neptune. Seems like it would be possible, but I guess they haven't gone that far yet.

mnischalke 0 #4 August 17, 2004 Yeah, I have been all over the paralog website, and upon careful reading, there doesn't seem to be any reference to being able to download right to the palm. There is a new version for the PocketPC that does sync the two. Unfortunately, that doesn't help me. The only reference I could find to the palm on the neptune website was under "IR troubleshooting" which only deals with possible palm hotsync issues (if you use hotsync to connect a palm to a desktop) when transferring neptune info to a desktop pc via the desktop ir. One of the main reasons I got the neptune and the palm was that I thought I could easily create an interface between the two. Kinda makes sense to be able to make jumps, download them at the dz and get signatures or whatever all at one time. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

ianmdrennan 2 #5 August 17, 2004 Email the writer of paralog. He downloads directly to his palm. He also uses it to get signatures for his dives which he then uploads to paralog later. Blues, IanPerformance Designs Factory Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #6 August 17, 2004 This is why it would be cool to get your hands on the source code...start hacking the Neptune for different uses and such. It would open up Palm support (someone would have to write a proggy for that), but then we'd probably start seeing games written for the Neptune, giving you something to do on the way up (or way down).--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Jimbo 0 #8 August 18, 2004 QuoteThis is why it would be cool to get your hands on the source code... Probably won't get the source to the Neptune itself, but if you ask nicely I wouldn't be surprised if they gave you the specs on the output. A friend of mine emailed L&B and they provided him with exactly that (for a small fee and an agreement not to release it to the public). He used it to write his own electronic log book. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blues, Ian Or just PM him. He is "vidiot" here on dropzone.com. FYI Paralog on Linux/Mac/Windows can communicate with Skytronix/Neptune/ProTrack/Palm, but it does not enable Palm to talk with an altimeter."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

ianmdrennan 2 #10 August 18, 2004 ahhh thanks. I mistook his Palm Companion for actually being able to interface with the neptune/protrack, etc. Methinks a feature request is forthcoming Blues, IanPerformance Designs Factory Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hummusx 0 #11 August 23, 2004 Unfortunately, that is not the case. They have some sort of exclusive arrangement with Paralog or whoever it is and don't seem to be interested in allowing anyone else to build software to download jumps. Which is a shame. ____________________________________ It’s like selling a million grills all at the same time…with extended warranties. -Hank Hill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
