The night one looked cool! Try less then one minute! The PDA has a tiny capacitor that acts as a battery and discharges when the batteries are removed. The problem is that Palm made some kind of design flaw and the capacitor gets too much voltage and they fail.
So, numerous people report that no matter how fast they swap batteries, data loss still occurs…. I might end up getting a different model that is more friendly to being used as a standard PDA and for the LCD display hack. Perhaps a rechargable PDA would be the best since I imagine it charges while in the cradle, and would never die out. Personally I love the winamp spectrum analysiser, the weather and email outputs I us a Palm 5 and just leave it run…Im thinkin cool mod currently have it hooked into my media center.
Anyway, how do you get it fullscreen on the palm? Looks a little lame so small on mine, but I see everone else has it so I must be missing something. I got a M just to run this PalmOrb. The software has been updated and modified quite a bit recently. To get it fullscreen, poke at that top thing, screen, then you can set the font. Fills most of the screen and I can read the text.
In terms of power I need help with that. My plan to use a Gameboy AC adapter have a bunch works most of the time, but the backlight often causes it to abruptly turn off. I dont know if its the increase use in power or what because it has been on with backlight for about 3 hours and hasnt shut off… weird..
Anyways, in terms of power, you can use the 5volts with ground but you will probably need a bunch of resistors or a voltage regulator since palms are designed to run on 3volts or so. I had hoped for a circuit that would have 2 power sources, 2xAA 3volts and the PC powersupply at 3.
So it would switch to the PC powersupply when the computer is on, then go to the batteries when the pc is off. I gave up on that idea and used a cheapo ac adapter instead. You can have it take some user input. It wont be like a scribble pad, but you can use the grafitti pad to input commands to your computer to say..
THe biggest fault is the LK emulation, which is only a 4 line by 20 character display. Beaming Infrared Serial Communications Developing applications for non-mobile platforms seldom requires the programmer to know that many concepts, not to mention that application development is often a teamwork, where each programmer has their area of expertise. Project Manager! That's a lot for one guy, but that's just the way it is! They're so huge that I don't know where and how I should start" etc.
After I found most answers to the questions above, I thought it might help other wanna-be Palm OS developers who want to get their feet wet. The purpose of Palm Programming Tutorial is only educational. Topics such as performance, portability, profiling, etc. Each section of the Palm Programming Tutorial deals with a specific topic. We'll start with simple concepts and increase complexity each time we move on to the next section.
There is no obligation to take each section. However, it's a good idea to complete the tutorial from beginning through end. If you use later versions of the SDK, you may have to update the Makefiles of the tutorial.
