We'll only give you 4V from the lipo, and if you try a 12V lamp, you'll probably just end up causing the board to brown-out the CPU, especially if your lipo hasn't been 'repaired'. LEDs should work. > Anyway, after that, I was trying to see if I could Monitor Idle Mode > etc, and I started getting "Connecting... Call Sign etc", but it just > hangs.

If you can plug in the USB cable to the altimeter, you can use monitor idle over that instead of over the radio link through the TeleDongle. Once that works, check the radio frequency and callsign settings to make sure they match between AltosUI and the TeleMetrum. Finally, make sure you've got a bit of distance (3-4 feet or perhaps a bit more) between the TeleDongle antenna and the TeleMetrum antenna as you'll over drive the receivers if they're too close. Most of the troubles people have with TeleDongle to TeleMetrum connects are not having the callsigns match. -keith
