Rosetta USB Problem

[turkeysneck]

I need to plug something into one of the spare usb sockets to give me ADSB out, but the wifi dongle ( I think that's what it is ) is too wide to allow another plug to fit along side it. Anyidea how I can get around this problem. I have also tried it in the lower socket but it still will not fit.

Hi Darren,

You can move one of the dongles (e.g. GPS or 1090Rx SDR - the bigger black one) onto a short USB extender. This will create enough space to fit in your FTDI lead.

Ah right, thanks.

Possibly another thing you can do is to buy the older, Classic style GPS dongle. The newer GPS dongle is wider. You can buy the old style from e-bay or AliExpress for about a fiver, take the plastic case off it and use that instead. It should allow something to be plugged in alongside it. The GPS performance isn't quite as good as the new one but in most cases it's fine.
