You can try to sync the 6230i. But in our tries it was only successful if we synced a single database (like contacts) at a time. We actually scheduled some time next weekend to solve this problem. >=20 >> sorry that i have been so quiet on the list in the last weeks / months= =2E >> I had a lot of work to do for university.

My field of study is called "electrical engineering and information technology". I mostly work on problems regarding robotics, since this includes problems from mechanics, electrical engineering, control theory and computer science, so i think its quite an interesting topic. The robot i built is using RTAI and a PID controller written in matlab/simulink for position control. Armin >=20 >=20 > Markus >=20 |
