This has done the work with Touch 2.0 and other more advanced: https://github.com/LK8000/LK8000

Those guys have it enabled in Touch, Mini and Glo: https://forum.xcsoar.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1521

More about OTG and Kobo Mini (GPS, MicroSD, PC and so on with OTG): http://tophatsoaring.org/Kobo%20USB%20GPS%20cables.html
Hi, I was asking for OTG support because I'm currently using my kobo with xcsoar (flight software) that supports OTG. I would like to switch to another flight software that is only supported on android. Since I have my variometer and GPS connected to the TTL port on the kobo, and AFAIK android doesn't communicate with TTL, I need OTG to connect my variometer and gps to the kobo.
Please keep me updated if you manage to make it work.
Thanks!
