Re: Micro male to type A female? (USB plugs)
 

The n810 needs a MICRO-B male, or the one you listed plus the mini-to-micro I listed.

If you want to save weight why do you need the iPod and GPS data logger?

dang, you got me all excited then.

Re: Micro male to type A female? (USB plugs)
 

Just so I am clear, the cable that comes with the 810 is insufficient to use with a female to female adapter to get out to a thumb drive because the pin settings are wrong?

Re: Micro male to type A female? (USB plugs)
 

Correct, but you can probably use USBControl to switch between master and slave

It's impractical for me because of the size of the cable too.

Re: Micro male to type A female? (USB plugs)
 

The pins of the original cable are right, but it does not throw it into host mode automatically. The scripts work, or get one of the micro-b to mini-b adapters, scrape back the insulation and shielding and solder a small switch between the black and brown wires. The switch "on" (shorting) makes it an "A". Then get a retractable mini-B to USB A - the whole thing will be more compact.

has shorty cables and camera lanyards that turn into miniB to usbA.

Thanks IntreidAnitpodean2 for the USBControl Link. It works great and I didn't even have to modify the cables. I used the Motorola SKN6252A Micro USB-B Male to Mini USB-B Female adapter coupled with the mini USB-B Male to USB-A Female adapter.

BTW, I have a N810. The USBControl program is simple and it just works without any X-term typing so even a newbie like me can use it. I have gotten the USB thumbdrives to work and also a USB keyboard.

It's so cheap to buy these adapters, I bought 3 and modded 1 with the soldering method. It works, but not very professional looking. I would suggest you buy extra adapters and play around with them since it costs next to nothing.

Any chance you would be willing to share what solar charger you are using? I have a Brunton Solarport 4.4. Seems to work but I haven't actually tested how long it takes to charge. I do a good bit of backpacking myself, and I think this Brunton is a too bulky. I use it to charge the batteries for my Canon S3 IS and my Garmin Rino 120.

thanks....

Dang, so close:

USB A Male to Micro B Male Adapter

USB A Male to Micro A Male Adapter

With a f-to-f adapter, this is the closest to the single-piece for micro to A female that we've been looking for.

And which should I go for, Micro A or B?

See my thread over here on what I've been able to come up with as options.

Thanks!
