So are you just buying the BT-Q818 and upgrading to the 5hz firmware or are they shipping like that now?

[evade]

nah i bought a globaltop G33..which is 5hz already

got it today, tested it before..all is working and confirmed its 5hz

[Snowman]

I purchased this one yesterday http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...N:IT&ih=024

I used the java software to upgrade it to 5Hz - just tested it out and it works perfectly

[Snowman]

To make life easier - anyone who gets the Qstarz BT - Q1000 (not sure if it works with the 818) go to this stite http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=196368

Download the BT747_1.39_en_full.zip file

Run the Java program - connect the GPS with the COM data etc - then go to the Ctrl Tab and where it says Time (s) put in 0.2 and press set and you now have a 5Hz GPS logger.

easy.

I can't see why not as its the same MTK chipset, but i'd check with Holux first or atleast someone with more knowledge than me

[justin911]

u can change the holux m1000 to 5hz

its configurable 1-5, i changed mine the other night and works fine.

send me a pm with your email address and ill send you the application you need. its pretty small, just 1 .exe file.

You'll need to have a bluetooth/serial connection from pc - holux to change it obviously though.

[justin911]

oo didnt no we could upload files, thought it was just pics.

anywho use this program.

once your connected to the gps, go into 'setup' and change 'fix update rate' from 1 to 5 then click set and shes all done.

Wth the Qstarz BT-Q818 do you still have to do the resistor modification or is it purely a software modification with miniGPS or GpsView?

I have one of those phones - and I purchased ONE OF THESE and then used the java software to change it to 5Hz (see a few posts up)

[swanny180]

Thanks for the link Justin911, my Holux M1000 is now operating at 5hz, will be testing out racechrono at Wakefield tomorrow

Will let you all know how it goes!!

Enter the technical dumass...

If i purchased the QSTARZ BT-Q1000, then did the software upgrade to it - is there software that i can run on a laptop to view this or do i need a certain nokia phone? Are the lap times able to be displayed as they happen like a normal lap timer or do you need to download the info after data logging?

[TiTAN]

You need a nokia phone that runs symbian S60 2nd edition feature pack 1 and above, or Nokia S60 3rd edition (IE. 6120 classic, 6121, 6110 navigator, N series). The software gives you lap times as they happen on the phone you dont need to download it from the phone. If you have a 6110 or N95 with built in GPS you can just install the software and it will use the gps built into the phone.

Do i need to purchase the qstarz BT-Q1000 as mentioned, or will the BT-Q818 do?

They are both listed as 1hz default, but up to 5hz update rate.

Will the software still work with the 818? and if so what's the benefit of going the 1000?

[TiTAN]

i have the BT-Q818 and used a program called "GpsView" to change the update rate to 5hz.

The 1000 has logging capabilities, I used mine on the weekend at a rally and just set it to log ever 50 metres, damn accurate when i uploaded it to Google Earth
