Up and working - PalmLog on Palm Vx, brilliant!

Since I'm too poor to afford an LCDash or even a set of proper gauges, I got on eBay and won three Palm pc's (two Vx and one IIIc) for a total of £25 including the postage - bargain!
I'm dead chuffed
Just need to work out a way to charge the Palm in the car for longer outings and make a dash-mount for it, preferably a water-proof one
Thanks for such a great piece of software!

I'm not sure, is that a good thing?

No worries. It was a fun project, and has served me and others well.
Cheers,
Roger.

It certainly is - and I'm even happier now I've RTFM and found how to make the backlight work on the Palm

Hi, i have a Palm Vx with OS 3.5.3. I use the palm with the computer trough HotSync with no problem.
I have made a male-male DB-9 null-modem adapter to connect my serial cradle to the MS (msefi-extra 029y4 code) and i can´t connect with the MS. All looks good but no connection... Any advice??
Thanks

A link to someone who has built an in-car charger for a Palm VX.

I've resently built the circuit myself, and it seems to work fine! Just be sure to measure the actual voltage it puts out, do not just use the resistorvalues he has chosen. Most resistors have 10% tolerances, and that can cause rather large differences in the output voltage of the circuit

You also need to disconnect the 110v /220v power to the Palm pilot before it will connect.
