DirectDraw code Posted, Uses Samsung Windows Mobile SDK

I posted a code sample on CodeProject a few moments ago.  It is a remake of a simple game.  Best of all if the game is run on a compatible Samsung device it will take advantage of the hardware via the Samsung Mobile SDK. For more information see the article at the following link:

Samsung Mobile SDK - Wheelkey Example

I was playing with the Samsung Mobile SDK and playing with the WheelKey API and got an example together.

I'll be posting the code later on, I still need to put it through the app verifier and some other test.

See video of it here:

OBD II Interface for Windows Mobile

Category: Windows Mobile | Sensors | WindowsJoel Ivory Johnson @ 13:07

I've seen news of Windows Mobile peripherals and the main one that I've seen up until now (an Ultrasound scanner).  While it was neat I don't have anything in or around my house for which I'd have a need to view its externals.  But I've finally come across a peripheral I had to have. I'm driving an older car (a 1999 Honda Civic) and I've got a dedicated OBD II scanner that I keep in my trunk for those times when the check engine light comes on. The only thing that my scanner will tell me is why the check engine light is on, but I've got no other insight into what my engine is doing.  This OBD II Scanner that came across by way of WMPowerUser.com gives a bit more insight to what the engine is doing.  Best of all this uses a Bluetooth interface.  I'd be willing to bet its using the Bluetooth COM interface and won't be hard to use from my own custom applications (meaning I can use this and one of my extra Windows Mobile devices as an enginer logger).  I just placed my order on the device.  I hope to have it soon.

Time Camera Capture

I've always wanted my phone to take a picture with the camera a few seconds after I initiate a phone call as a reminder of the reason for the phone call.  If I know where I was when I made th ephone call then it helps to jog my memory on why I made the phone call. An obstacle with doing this is that the .Net framework only offers capture dialog's for taking pictures, and those require user interaction.

Marcus Perryman has written a code sample that takes a photograph every 30 seconds and uploads them to a web service.  Just the code I need for such a thing! I am examining it now to see how I can expand upon it.
