Contact Brooke Ahnemanne to take you on a tour of TUMTUM. For the brave, following are complete directions.

DIRECTIONS TO TUMWATER FALLS PARK
Driving
You can take either Capitol Way or Deschutes Parkway to Tumwater Falls Park. From downtown Oly, take Capitol Way south to Custer Way (at the Miller Brewery). Turn right (west), cross the Deschutes river, then left, following brown signs to "Tumwater Falls Park" (NOT "Tumwater Historical Park"). Turn left to go down to the park from DeschutesWay. It is just below the "Falls Restaurant". Park in the parking lot.

TO RUN TUMTUM, YOU NEED:
Hardware
A Tablet PC* or Laptop running XP or Windows
A GPS receiver**, set to output NMEA text
A serial cable** that connects to the GPS receiver
A serial-to-USB conversion cable*
Headphones*

*Available at Computer support. Contact Rob Rensel
** Available at Lab Stores.

Software
"TumTum" application file, along with accompanying media files (should be on the Tablet PC's. Contact Naomi for a "TumTum" cd-rom disk)

Location: You must be onsite for this piece to work! See directions at bottom. Starting point: 47N00.819, 122W54.268

Make sure the GPS receiver and Tablet PC are OFF.

Connect serial cable to GPS receiver, by sliding the serial cable connector onto the connection pins (on Garmin units, at top of device under rubber flap).

Connect the Serial-to-USB converter cable to the serial cable on one end, and the Tablet PC's USB port on the other.

Turn the Tablet PC on (slide button on bottom right side)

When Tablet boots up, the button under your right hand with a key icon needs to be pressed (this button is the same as control-alt-delete). Hit "Okay" to log on as administrator with no password

Once the Tablet is ready, turn the GPS receiver on.

You should check which com port number the GPS is connected to by looking at the device manager utility on the Tablet PC (control panel/system/devices/hardware/com ports)

Check to see if the Tablet is receiving the incoming text string from the GPS unit by opening up Hyperterminal application (PROGRAMS/UTILITIES/COMMUNICATION/HYPERTERMINAL). In hyperterminal, go to FILE/OPEN and locate the pre-made setting that corresponds to the com port being used. When you open this ht file, you should get a text string flowing into the hyperterminal window. If not, check all connections. Try rubbing GPS Serial pin connections with dry eraser, then reconnecting. Remember that the GPS must be outputting NMEA string (Push "page" button on Garmin reciever to get to system menu. Under "interface" you can set to NMEA output)

Once you've established a successful connection, exit Hyperterminal.

Double-click on the "TumTum" application from your hard disk.

The start up screen asks you to specify the com port number, then hit "FINISHED". That's it. If it's working properly, assuming you are at Tumwater Falls Park (directions at bottom), you should see a red cursor in the middle of the screen, and a map which updates as you move. You may have to stop and start "TumTum" a second time before it works. (key icon button is control-alt-delete, this brings up Task manager. "End task", and restart "TumTum") Make sure the GPS has a clear view of the sky. Move out from under trees, at least to get started. The yellow hotspots on the screen are the media triggers; follow these.
