Is there any information about the use of a GT altimeter together with the 61CS?
Has someone already tried this combination in a glider?
What about sensitivity, accuracy, etc.?

Nico,
for the inner you have a M3 thread.
Outer diameter bottom 4.3mm top 4.8mm
The pin layout if you look to the 61cs with display up are:
The mini USB wires:
green to RXD
white to TXD
red to DCIN
black to GND
Ciao

Hi Mazuk,
You did a great job!
Can you give information about the inner and outer diameter of these threads and maybe a wiring diagram of the pogo-connector and the female mini-USB connector? (please specify front and back row)
Regards, Nico

No you can just screw the thread inserts:

Great, but how do you hold the thread-inserts-piece to the 61CS holes? Glue?
Thanks!

Yes the holes are the same just inserted threads. (don't know the english word for this may be thread inserts )
No need for drilling. And as you can see I left one insert more out to prevent a rotation of the adapter !

Hi Mazuk, nice work!
Tell me, are the holes (were the cradle fits) meant to take screws like that?
cheers,

So my setup is ready now.
No more bulcky cradle :-)
Here the 61cs with the GT-Altimeter attached to my tiny adapter. It is working perfectly now.
ciao

Hi,
found an other source of the pogo connector.
Price is about 5€ 6x2 connector
see: http://de.rs-online.com/web/p/products/7020323/
main catalog : http://docs-europe.electrocomponents.com/webdocs/0e31/0900766b80e31ede.pdf
I ordered some to make a tiny adapter
Here a picture of the pogo connector

If the connector's wires also include the pins for GPIO 1-4 , I promise I will add support for them as hardware custom keys: customkeys bottom left, bottom center, bottomright and bottom icon will also be mapped to gpio 1-4 (hardware buttons), to allow remote controls or keypad.
I already tested this solution, and personally I already bought all the necessary hardware to do it. I missed only the cannibalized cradle specs.

Here is link to *.pdf document, where is described, how to modify original Holux cradle for something more light and suitable for para/hang gliders pilots especially:http://www.wolf-gear.com/images/stories/61cs/gpsmile61cs_light_holder_mk2.pdf.
GPSmile61CS versions Free Flying (FF001) and XC001 will be equipped with this "light holder".
Complete unit with holder should be fixed by Velcro, glued on unit backside.
