Hi All,
I'm involved with a college team, and need to pull data off two StratologgerCFs to find out what happened at a launch at apogee. Sadly, the rocket was badly damaged and needs surgery. We don't know where, or if, we have the data transfer kit. I ordered and received the Pigtail cable thinking it would fit a USB-TTL FTDI kit for an arduino uno; guess not without some rewiring. Perfectflight has been out-of-stock on the data-transfer-kit for some time, and this... concerns me. I have found Micro USB to 5-pin DIP header boards on the Banggood.com electronics website. Looking at a picture of the Stratologger data-transfer-kit, there is a surface-mount part in the upper-lefthand corner of the chip; is this a fuse or something important? Can I just solder a header to the board and plug-in? Any answers/solutions including donations of Stratologger data-transfer kits welcome!
