Jal: Thanks for the reply! I searched back through this thread and found on page 16, your post of 1/5/2009 which mentions the missing dll's. I could not find a link in a subsequent post as to a link to a hack to install these dll's.
Are these WinCE system DLL's that are missing? Where might I find these dll's? Do I need a specific version of the dll's? Where do I place the dll's?
Thanks! |

Update.... I found some random aygshell.dll on the Internet, and placed it in the PortSplitter folder, and now PortSplitter works. The UI is kinda goofy, I guess it's because of whatever aygshell I have, but PortSplitter does work. So, a word to the wise.... IF YOU INSTALL PORTSPLITTER ON AN HP IPAQ 310, YOU NEED TO ADD AYGSHELL.DLL TO YOUR INSTALL FOLDER. |

Thanks JAL, the whole PPC, Handheld PC, CE, Mobile, etc, is very confusing to sort, that's a helpful link.
Now I can get back to my problem, which is, I am writing a WinCE app that needs to use the GPS on the HP iPAQ 310. I originally did not want to crosspost, but here is my problem:
http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=123752
I wanted to see if PortSplitter would "abstract" the COM port so my problem would go away. This is not the case. My code still does not work with PortSplitter in the chain. I am really quite stuck on this. My GPS interface works well on other platforms, and it works well on the iPAQ if I use an external Bluetooth GPS. It is something with the internal GPS that is tripping me up. It is supposed to be standard NMEA. Maybe there is a "wake-up" command that has to be sent to the GPS. Any advice would be appreciated! |

But you can confirm if portsplitter works with another program in 310? This can help me to help you.
Have a nice week-end.

Hi JAL: Yes, Port Splitter works fine with SirfTech. I redirect to COM0, and set SirfTech to COM0 and it works fine.
Are you using C or C++ and the standard API's in your code? Are you using the "typical" CreateFile(),GetCommState(),SetCommState() sequence? Or are you using CE.Net code or something else. My code works great on a Dell Axim v51v.
Basically, I can open the port successfully, but I simply do not receive any characters from the GPS!
UPDATE: After much investigation, it appears the problem is ClearCommError() is always returning 0 in cbInQue! I think it's a bug in the serial driver. I've worked around that problem and am now running. (I figured it had to be something unique I was doing, since other apps are working)

Hello again musky,
yes, I use the standard win32 apis that you have mentioned. Of course, that the ce 5 version is linked against this sdk.
Well, after your update, seems that you have solved the problem. Congratulations!

| I don't know much about the code for a port splitter program, but I assume you must have to hook in at the driver level, right? I also assume you must "pass on" calls to the comm API. So if an app calls ClearCommError with a particular handle, the port splitter software must "reflect" that call to the actual port, or something like that. I suppose any bugs in the lower level serial driver are then just passed along, right? |

Hello
Thanks to port Splitter,I can ,finally (...) ,use TOM TOM V6 on my SAMSUNG I900 Omnia ( Orange Fr ROM)...Great great tool My only issue is that ,due to AGPS (that I cannot disconnect on this ROM version) ,the phone connects on regular basis (several times a day ) to internet through 3G to update satellite positions ( I guess) If I see it,I can stop the connection,but if I don't see it, the connection remains active.... It's an issue especially for battery impact,and on costs (when abroad...) Would it be possible to include in the soft an autodisconnect after update achieved option,and options to enable/unable AGPS update (or schedule it (once a day,a week...)
Thank you for your help

Hi. I have a Asus P535 wm6 and i have a problem using port splitter. I installed port splitter and it works. I add Com 0, Com3 and Com5. If I run, say, Beelinegps on Com0 and if I try to put Ozice on Com3 beelineGps closes itself. And if I open Tomtom it closes Ozice. And so on. I can not keep two programs running at the same time. And I'm using about 29 Mb Rom free. It seems to be something on wm6. Any ideas? Thanks |

Hi, A possibility of using Port Splitter via Active Sync would be great. And a small aplication for laptop. Not all of us have Bluetooth in pocketpc I think,such possibility is provided by GPSGate. |

Have you tried GPS2blue which will work over an IP connection?
A free port sharer for Windows 32 bit became available in March 2009. Free Virtual Serial Ports Emulator by Eterlogic Software can share one COM port between several programs like excellent Port Splitter. Only any use if you can connect your GPS to Win32bit. Getting off topic. |

Hi, thanks for a super utility works fine. This is on a Navigo but having loaded via the V1.31 .cab file there is no settings.dat so each time port splitter is started settings need to be reconfigured. The 3 dlls mentioned in earlier messages are present in the windows ce 5 folder.
Also, it would be good if port splitter could start up automatically on reboot.
assistance would be appreciated. Thanks |

Hi JAL, brilliant little program. Has finally allowed me to get TT6 running on my new Samsung Omnia i900.
I am running version 1.31, but have noticed an anomoly (or at least I think it is an anomoly).
If I enter the settings, click autostart and turn it on, then turn it off, then hit exit, all is good. Next time I start the program it flashes up momentarily and turns itself on with the correct settings then dissapears off the screen again.
If however, I then open it again, turn off the auto start feature and exit, all other settings are lost next time I reopen. So I guess what I am asking, is it supposed to only save the settings if the autostart option is ticked?
By the way, did I say brilliant little program?? :)
Cheers, Dave. |
