Vernier Software & Technology sells a USB adapter only meant to connect the
Vernier Go!Temp to a TI Graphing Calculator.

The USB adapter is listed on the table as:
USB Std-A-Female to Mini-A-Male Adapter

We have found a different provider who sells a USB adapter for less that we
would like you to link to:

http://www.sfcable.com/cable/p/30U1-05300.html

Thank you for your cooperation!

Best Regards,
David Lim

It seems like that adapter isn't suitable for use with USB OTG, since it has a 
Mini-B 
connector and not a Mini-A connector.  Physically it looks the same, but the 
Mini-A 
connect has two pins shorted which (in this case) are REALLY important.

I found two alternatives that are Mini-A:

The Vernier website seems to not show the adapter anymore.  I have updated the 
listing to point to the Serialio.com version.  The sfcable version was not 
proper. 

The connection must be Mini-A -- which is rare.

Digi-Key has made plans to stock the appropriate cable.  We are waiting on an 
update
from them.
