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.

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

Hi Mazuk, nice work!

Tell me, are the holes (were the cradle fits) meant to take screws like that?

cheers,

Hugo

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 !

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

Thanks!

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

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
