LFS and a Nokia
Hello racers,

I have kinda big idea in my mind. Just bought Nokia 3110 Classic and now I want to make it act as a LFS outgauge receiver. I have managed to make a C# .NET program what reads speed and counts driven kilometres. Basic concept in my mind is - I connect my phone to computer, using USB cable, set Nokia to "Nokia mode", start a J2ME app. in phone and start receiving/displaying data. The big question is - am I able to send OutGauge data (or I "translate" the outgauge UDP packet to more simple string) through the USB cable to my phone? The rest should be easy..
Unless the phone presents itself with a usable local IP (be it a local loopback or otherwise) the only way of communicating it most likely to be using Nokia's SDK - which you'll have to look into.

Long time since dealt with it but just for the record I managed to do it. Made a little program in C# that writes OutGauge data to specified (COM) port. Also made a program in J2ME that receives and parses the data. Only problem is that more data need lower data sending interval, otherwise J2ME app really lags.
bluetooth would be even cooler.!!
