Chatboard tuto and datacable list

Wanted to build some of the things for selling but never get around to finally do it,
so here is the list i have collected.

The samsung a300 datacable seems to be the cheapest way.
CHA-01 and CHA-10 are the only working chatboards for the gp,you can get them cheap at ebay for about 1eur, and one of the following plugs for handys.
Please keep in mind that you need at least 4 pins (you can move them arround), so some chargers/headsets may not work.
also datacables are cheap for some handys, arround 3EUR.One of the names for the conenctor is 3050-18P-0.5 dont remember other ones.

CODE:
  • PCB037DBE
  • samsung A200/A288/A300/A300/A400/T100/R200/R210/R220/N620/N628/SGH-E100/SGH-E700/SGH-S500/SGH-E100/SGH-E600
  • NEC N21i/N22i
  • Sagem My-C2
  • Mistubishi M320
  • Alcatel 531LG G5300

If you know other models/have other sources, please share them.

Now to the building:
solder your 4 wires to the extconenctor to the pinspin/meaning/color used in picture

  • 1=3.3v orange
  • 9=RXD0/GPF0
  • white10=TXD0/GPF2
  • yellow18=Ground blue
  • or (!)1=3.3v
  • orange15=RXD1/GPF1
  • white16=TXD1/GPF3
  • yellow18=Ground blue

It could be that the orange cable (+3.3v) can only be soldered at the smd resitor, not on the pin before it,
and make sure you dont connect anything to the little golden line that is arround the chatboard.

Finish! Have fun with your new selfbuildet chatboard!Maybe some mod can create a post in faq forum with this.

Ericsson CHA01 Mapping

1.1- Instruction

The Ericsson cha01 chatboard is supported on serial port #0 of the gp32, through a line discipline driver (chatboard.c).To activate the chatboard, you need to start the chatboardattach program in backgound, or keep open a filedescriptor with the line discipline N_SMSBLOCK.Eg:
chatboardattach &bash### now your chatboard is installed as the system keyboard ###Due to hardware limitations, before starting a new line, you need to press KEY_WWW.

Ericsson Chatboard to GP32

Ericsson Chatboard to GP32

My chatboard model is CHA-01.
Here is a huge picture how it is wired internally.




And this is how pins are wired to EXT cable:



And some l337 ascii graphics illustrating the EXT connector rear view. 
This should help soldering generally.
Note that the color codes match to those in Gamepark IO-port PDFs.
