I have also found only micro USB. And there was a standard-USB socket "JabNab" 10 years ago (I even own one - was a marketing gift). But I think about designing one ourselves and offer in our shop. Will not be as elaborated and tiny, but it appears to be doable. The basic idea is to make a small PCB, solder the front part of an opened Mini-USB plug to it. This can be plugged into the GTA04 side and should stand out max. 2-3. mm. A second PCB with a full mini/micro USB socket and pogo pins can be attached to a standard cable. Both can be put in contact. The main area for experimentation is how to find and attach small but strong enough magnets to this assembly. So this will be amongst the next tinkering projects :) BR, Nikolaus _______________________________________________ Community mailing list Community@openphoenux.org http://lists.goldelico.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/community http://www.tinkerphones.org
