@migo serial interface - anyone got it working?

kd4moj · 04-17-2002

Has anyone that owns the @migo (Amigo) got the serial interface to work with NS & GPS? If so what port?

I just locked up NS so I'll have to do a reinstall - don't pick port 6-8!

Yes, I have it working on COM1

I have the serial interface cable hooked up to a null modem and a gender changer, and then into a garmin eTrex venture. Works perfectly.

DUH! That was my problem then... I was using a standard serial. I'll grab the null cable out of the box and try it. If it works... i'll pack up my Fujitsu tablet and keep the @migo in the car.

Do you know if there is a config file installed with miniNS? I **cked up something and need to reinstall. When reinstalled, it locks up again. So far I have not found a config or ini file.

For those who have an @migo and a Garmin GPS data cable, i'm going to build a nullmodem (NM) adapter so you don't have to use gender changers.

After a trip to the local RatShack, I found that NM adapters are M/F instead of Male-Male. You then have to use a gender-changer to connect the GPS to the serial @migo cable (since they are both Female ends).

So i'm going to make some Male-Male gender changers (about 3 inches). If anyone want's them... i'll sell them to you for the price of the connectors (from RatShack) and postage. Just lemme know.

thread and check out the registry settings on your handheld. You may have the wrong com port assigned and it could be locking you up.
