Run to your local big box store than sells Samsung phones, and they’ll have a 
Samsung OTG cable – I know Best Buy sells them.

 

Or you can order one from Amazon for a few bucks.

Possibly dumb question:

 

Got a Galaxy S5, Android 5.1.1, and put AltosDroid on it for use with my 
Telemetrum and a homemade 70 cm Yagi.

         (got tired of hauling lap top out to the field & trying to read screen 
in sunlight)

The Galaxy S5 is recharged with a USB cord, one end of which is a 
standard-looking USB plug and the other end is an S5 proprietary connection

Connecting the standard USB end of this connector to a Teledongle requires a 
USB gender-changer of some sort.

Is any special wiring needed in the gender-changer, or will a regular 
off-the-shelf gender changer work?

Can the S5 power the Teledongle, and if so, for how long?  Battery is the stock 
Samsung, rated 10.7 watt*hours.

 

thanks, Harold

Subject: [altusmetrum] a quick update

First off, I hope everyone is having a great holiday season this year!
Keith and I are both enjoying brief breaks from our $dayjob
responsibilities to spend quality time with our respective families.

I've received enough emails asking about product availability that I
thought a quick email with a status update to the altusmetrum list might
be in order. 

We are currently out of stock on EasyMini, TeleGPS, TeleMega, and
TeleMini boards. We have plenty of TeleMetrum and both ground stations,
good stock on most accessories, and modest inventory of the MicroPeak
family. I have no way of knowing what our distributors have in their
stock, but if you need something quickly that we're out of, please check
with them... a list with URLs is on the altusmetrum.org web site.

We expect our SMT assembler to complete more of both TeleGPS and
TeleMega this week, after which my son and I will tackle final assembly,
test, calibration, and packaging. With any luck, both of those products
will be back in stock sometime in the next week. An EasyMini production
run is also underway, and we hope to have those back in stock before the
end of January.

TeleMini is something we build by hand in small quantities. If you want
one desperately, let us know. Otherwise, I hope we'll find time to make up
another small batch of those to put in stock sometime in the next month
or two.

Let me know if you have any other questions... and have a Happy New Year!

Bdale
