Communicating with a Palm
Archiver

Has anyone done anything with downloading/uploading info using a Palm
PDA? Being able to download stored data to a Palm might be very handy
if someone is doing data acquisition. If so, where can I find info on
doing it?

Palm. Helps if you know Java :-)
http://www.wabasoft.com -- In fact, I think I did an article on this for
Dr. Dobb's using an embedded controller (might have been a Stamp, or
something else) to talk to CE/Palm. Let's see.... There it is:

I have a basic serial interface running.
Just send serialout from Basic Stamp and have the Palm read it's
serial port.
I use a language called CASL (www.caslsoft.com) on the Palm which
gives you a nice IDE, objects, database, access to serial port, etc.
So far it works fine.
The Palm has a serial buffer and can process and save data from the
BS at 9600 baud.
The Palm is a data comm device (same as BS serial port) so you need a
null modem cable to attach to the serial port of the BS.

If you want instant gratification, try out 5-star rated "online" from

You can download data either to the memopad (4-k per memo) or to a
DOC file, or to a text file on external media.
A good general purpose programming language is NSbasic from
