Communicate with external devices via the USB port on the Playbook

Hi all

I've been looking for more information on how to connect to external devices programmatically using the port USB of the Playbook. It seems that the QNX Neutrino system level options do not work, I tried to use system() with some usb since utilities commands (e/s-usb, usb,...) without success. I'm trying to build an application that uses the USB port of the Playbook to connect to a network industry such as devicenet or profi-bus as an example. Anyone know if this is possible? If this is related to another post here, admin please move.

Change Note: Please answer and the result is pretty much that I had found. I have no contact I can name for RIM, off the top of my head. I think for now, I'll concentrate my efforts for the development of the Playbook.

This is my speculation, but given the current philosophy of the PlayBook and BB 10 OS, perhaps my speculation is not too bad. Anyway, it is not only a problem of BB, other editors (Apple, Samsung, LG etc) also do not allow this out of the box.

A few days ago, I played with ultra cheap Chinese junk-Tablet (with resistive screen, buuuu), android 2.3.3 and this unit has a usb port with support for any device usb (mouse, keyboard, 3 g modem) + adapter Ethernet usb custom with 2port usb hub. Man, it was crazy. Maybe these will find its way in BB 10 devices a day.

  • Try to use the capabilities of the Web from TOSHIBA camera with an external device via the USB port.

    Toshiba Web Camera software that came with my new Qosmio X 505 - Q880 is very useful, and I would use it to take pictures with an external camera connected by a USB cable (camera is a Kodak DC290, in case this is useful).  Is it possible to use the webcam with anything other than Toshiba built in webcam?  Now that I'm typing this, it seems a question more appropriate for the Toshiba site, but I guess I'll try here first.

    Toshiba Software is for Toshiba hardware.

    Go to the Kodak Web site and are looking for software for your Kodak camera.

    Or as you say, ask Toshiba.

  • The use of recovery of product with external devices?

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite and it is that I wanted to re - format my windows XP. But I realized that my CD Player no longer works so I decided to put my external CD burner on my pc.

    When the laptop is turned on, the CD is well recognized from this source. But now, my problem is that I can't find a way to boot the CD in the external drive (USB-Boot).

    How can I do? Or someone has a better solution for me to format my laptop because the internal CD player does not work? (I already tried in BIOS for external devices as the first boot device, does not :-()

    Unfortunately the guy... I have bad news for you.
    Boot from the external USB CD/DVD drive is not possible. BIOS do not support this feature.

    If you need to boot from the CD, you will need to purchase a new, compatible internal CD/DVD drive and supported.

    Note that not all CD/DVD slim line drives are supported because different master/slave/c-salt settings.
    Usually, the user manual should provide information on the supported CD/DVD burner.
    If this isn't the case, then ask the maintainer authorized Toshiba and a compatible player.

    That entry of casings do you use on the Yamaha and what you've plugged into them? With the whole level at about 01:00 controls, as Neil suggests, increase the Gain until the red LED on the channel starts flashing. And then put it down a bit so that it no longer lights except very occasionally. You should then see the green signal LED flashes but not the red. You should then have reasonable level in hearing.

  • Bad resolution of Qosmio G30 - external display via the HDMI connection-

    Hello! This problem makes me crazy, please help if you can...

    I just bought a G30-102 and I am trying to use it with an external display via the HDMI connection. The problem I have is that the native resolution of 1920 x 1200 cut the edges of the screen and the quality looks terrible - its almost as if the entire screen is enlarged. I tried with a BenQ FP241wz initially (1080i is 1920 x 1200) and the Toshiba helpline could not find a solution either - even after painfully reinstall all the drivers, etc..

    Its been going on for so long, I thought I'd try it out with my HDTV instead, just to be sure it wasn't a monitor problem. So I tried with my Toshiba 32WLT66 - and come to find that it has exactly the same problem.

    All the display settings appear to be correct and the G30 is convinced that the result is correct, so I have now it is - don't you think not that this is a problem with my HDMI port?

    Please help, I'm a designer, and it is essential that I use the machine on a large screen. If it is a hardware of the G30 problem, I need to talk to Toshiba immediately replace or fixing.

    Hello

    I tested the Qosmio G30 (HD-DVD) with my LCD TV using a HDMI cable. Everything worked perfectly. As a first step, I put 1080i value in the settings of the BIOS and after following the instructions in the HDDVDGuide document under http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB6A01LH000LR01.htm

    Hello

    Scan is displayed in the drop-down list means that the drivers are installed. It shows the only driver WIA or TWAIN driver as well?

    The message error occurs means that you must turn off the scanner, remove the USB (the scanner to the computer), then the scanner power back and plug it. It should work correctly.

  • trying to communicate with a computer via an RS232 interface.

    Hi, I would like to communicate with my computer via RS232 DB - 25 side of machine that is configured as a DCE and DB - 9 my side PC as DTE, the computer only uses pin 2 (serial data in), pin 3 (serial data out) and PIN 7 a pattern. I wired the pins straight through except the ground which is in the DB 9 pin 5, so I tried to connect pin 2 pin 2 and 3 pin to pin, pin 7 to pin 5, but I couldn't get through my machine, then I tried 3 machine spindle pin 2 of my pc , machine pin 2 pin 3 pin 5-7 pc, unfortunately cannot also. I set everything correctly, as I think, but somehow could not do.

    The laptop makes a beep sound as it would on an extraction device when you plug... I hope that makes sense. So I am now assuming that the problem is with my computer, is there something I can do to fix this?
    Thanks in advance

    Sorry should add - it's like nothing is plugged at all when it is, and it happens on two USB ports, not just one...

    I guess this could be a problem with the software or drivers installed.

    I searched a bit and his city that he has a software is compatible with windows vista/2000/xp. Win 7 is not mentioned do not know if this could be a problem, but in your case, I recommend asking the support of this software product for some advice.

    In addition, you can try to install this software once more, check whether this USB problem appears again.

  • Animate the CC of the tests on the device via the USB port or the publication of device does not

    Without a paid with Apple Developer account (waiting to have in fact my first AIR for iOS app works correctly), I created the .mobileprovision and .p12 files successfully in Xcode. With these I figured out how to debug in the Debug of Animate version iOS Simulator > DebugMovie > iOS Simulator but I can't debug my device (iPhone) via the USB port. ("Impossible to install the application. Make sure that the selected devices are connected. ") Connected and on. No problem with the available memory.

    Past the other road, I published with success (he said) but my iPhone will not complete downloading the app in iTunes and even less using the 'post publishing' check in settings to install on my selected iOS device of publication. It is there no dialog, no explanation why... simply "the application was published successfully."

    I moved the .ipa file in iTunes and on my device. It says it is syncing but then goes with anything. I once accidentally dragging the icon of my iPad where it has at least tried to install it. The dimmed icon appears on this device with "install...". "below, but it was not built for the iPad, so I trashed it after a few hours.

    I have watched the video of Adobe and don't see what I'm doing is different.

    In Xcode, there is a window of devices. You can select your iPhone and check requests in this regard. Try dragging the IPA in this list. It may still fail, but I hope that Xcode will give a better error message.

    It is a faster way to much to get applications on devices using iTunes. If it does not copy OK you can then try remote debugging in Animate and then open the application. The IP address of your computer, you must have this ready to type in.

  • Can LabVIEW control a device series (RS232) via a USB port on a Mac?

    Using LabVIEW 6 and operation of G4 Mac OS 9, it was once possible to use a USB port for control and acquisition of data of a pH meter in our laboratory. Only, we used "Serial Port Init.vi" and wired to port #0, which referred to the USB port. We connected the connector DB9 to the pH meter to the Mac's USB port via a USB-to-DB9 adapter. LabVIEW 6 could then send commands to the pH meter and acquire pH values of him using the serial port, reading and writing icons. I try to do the same thing now using LabVIEW 8.6 on a Mac Pro OS 10.5.6 and leads nowhere. The simplicity of LabVIEW 6 is long gone, and it seems to be necessary to use VISA icons. When I write the vi using the icons series VISA, three potential serial ports appear to be available. However, the vi gives an error message, except when I choose a specific of these, ASRL2::INSTR, under the name of the resource, in which case the vi runs, but there is no communication with the pH meter. I can't understand what physical connector on the chassis Mac corresponds to ASRL2::INSTR, but it is does not seem to be the USB key. I tried to write the vi using the icons of VISA USB of LabVIEW, but which requires knowledge of USB communication protocols which is beyond the expertise of this chemist. So, I'm almost at a loss what to try next. I could buy a serial RS232 card to install in a PCI Express slot in the Mac, hoping that he will be recognized and can be resolved by using the icons series VISA. However, as it was once trivial to perform this task of communication via the Mac's USB port, it seems that it should not be necessary to buy another card. LabVIEW continues to become more and more complicated, and if she doesn't get any more improved, it may not work at all. I've been programming LabVIEW on Mac for almost ten years and she became gradually more frustrating. In any case, is - anyone out there fought USB / communication series battle on a new Mac and won? If now it is impossible, no matter which allowed to pass through a RS232 serial installed in a Mac Pro card? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

    Ken1,

    I don't have a chance to see the USB-serial last night.  I'll make a note to try it again tonight.

    Dennis is right.  You need to focus on the determination of what works or not in communications.  Look at the system information (Apple menu > about this Mac > more info...).  Then select the USB item in the list of the contents of the left column.  See if USB devices to look like they could be serial port emulators.  I don't remember exactly what they are called.  If the device doesn't appear like USB Raw, it probably means that no driver has been installed.  You can unplug the unit and see what are the changes.  This will tell you if the operating system sees the device.
