Often in the Internet is said that the TG01 have the function to control it with an USB Mouse.So i bought such an cable with Female-Usb and Male micro-Usb but if i put an normal USB Mouse in in nothing happens also not my keyboard or anything else i tested.
What iam doing wrong??

There is special short usb cable to work with tg01 . One side has micro usb plug to connect to tg01, second side has regular usb slot ( usb A ) like in any computer. When You plug mouse to this slot You will have mouse in tg01.

The original TG01 Host cable is fitted witha uUSB A type plug (rectangular section with a white plastic horizontal plastic part). This type is wired internally with a short between pins 4 and 5 which is what triggers the device to go into Host mode.
There are also equivalent 3rd party cables available, but must conform to the uUSB spec or will simply be acting as a port extender with a USB A type line socket on the end in place of the uUSB female socket on the device.

I've not seen the original Toshiba Host cables anywhere, but here is a current eBay link which is illustrating and describing the right thing. There is also a Nokia cable on Amazon which appears to be the right type - check the Nokia N8 C6-01 to make sure that it tallies.
The female socket takes a normal USB A plug; the other end has the rectangular format uUSB A plug which should have pins 4 + 5 linked internally.
The On The Go (OTG) protocol also allows for connecting two such devices together. So if you wanted to connect a pair of TG01s, you can use a uUSB A to uUSB B lead; the device with the A plug is designated the Host while the other becomes the slave. Reverse the cable and the roles change with it.

You really need a camera with mini SD. I have one with a full SD but not mini.
don't think it would work, since the computer and the device both host a female socket, so you usually need a male to male connector. i've never seen anything that hosts a female socket (the usb port that you normally see on your computer)
thanks for the feedback

Unfortunately I have tried using my Zaurus's miniUSB cable to no avail. So I suppose it must b true, just doesnt have host capabilities... though I wouldnt be devistated if I was wrong
There is a really simple answer to this.
The Hermes uses MicroSD. Some company on eBay does a MicroSD to Memory Stick Pro Duo. I think you can get an adapter for Pro Duo to Memory Stick. So stick the adapters into your camera. And then use the MicroSD in both phone/camera. I use the same solution between my p910i and my Dimage Z2.

Not one to relax and enjoy the spoils of war after conquering the Wall/Car charger mystery I have decided to move on to the subject of USB host without the dock. Sorry if I am duplicating other similar threads but starting a new thread helps me through the process of testing. I'm hoping the asus USB host adapter will be out soon so I can gut it like tuna but till then it is back to the rig I used for the charger probing.
Update 10/16/2011
So what we actually now know.
1. USB host mode requires a board found in the USB Host adapter from Asus
2. Some users are having issues with the adapter staying connected. Bad design IMO, too big of a device to be hanging off the tablet connected to thumb drives and other devices.
3. 5V is being supplied to usb devices, I have not personally verified this but will soon.
Some options
1. Build USB Host "Dongle" with connector and USB adapter.
Sounds like people are having disconnection issues, a dongle might be a better solution for that taking the pressure off the connector on the TF and move it down a wire to dongle connector. This will be my first build since it shouldn't be to difficult.
2. Machine a small attachable dock that sits at the bottom of the TF which contains the host adapter, memory cart reader slots and USB ports.
I love this idea but will take time and money I don't have at the moment. BUT drawings are already done and I'm having my machinist put it on his to do list at the bottom. Prototype in 45 days but no promises.
3. Modding a TF to contain the host adapter internally.
This requires you to open up your TF and install the board and a connector. A daunting task for anyone with even good circuit board and fabrication skills. Best person for this job is Bob, but is there space in the case?

First Mod, Host Adapter dongle.
While building this on I'll looking in to the capability of charging the TF while using the host adapter.
USB adapter shows up tomorrow and I hit the ground running. Pics and updates to come. Stay tuned!
Hey,
Any updates on this? I would love to see a solution to connect USB devices without needing a dock.
Waiting for the official adaptor might take a while: Asus Australia confirmed that the adaptor is not coming any time soon (and maybe never to AUS at all), Asus Germany can't give a specific date.

So what do we know
1. Connecting a USB 2.0 female to female coupler using the factor sync/charge cable from the Table to other USB devices does not work.
2. Asus will be releasing an adapter that allows for USB host features and this tells us it can be done.
3. Asus used some of the usb 3.0 pins to show termination from the tablet to start charging at 15V so this method might be in practice for the usb host function.
I've done a little monitoring of data pins on the factory cable but see no difference between when a device is and is not connected. I have a feeling we are dealing with 2 things, 5v power from the tablet to power the usb device and a pin termination to trigger the host function.

Following the OP's logic..
I do not believe that a Female to Female USB3 would be enough. I suspect and trying to locate one is a pain that you will need not only a USB3 AF to AF but also a USB3 Powered Hub (or USB 3 Powered Device) as the TF cable does not supply power..
I tried the USB 2 AF to AF path with my powered hub and can confirm it does not work, TF will mount fine on PC via the HUB so it is not a connection problem so I suspect like the OP that we need all the magic pins of a USB3 connection which logically would also mean we all the magic of a USB3 hub (or device) as well..
I cannot find a USB3 AF to Micro AF cable anyplace (They are all male) so even if I can get my hands on a USB3 powered hub (which are also rare) I could not complete this experiment..
I suspect the lack of the OP's postings would also indicate they are having the same trouble as well..
So in summary, I strongly believe we need USB3 Powered Hub + USB 3 Cable from the Hub to the TF Cable
Anyone got those?
Well I done some searching and found these two that should provide all the right specifications for the TF but I am starting to have some significant doubts that this is all worth it considering this is only a theoretical solution based on USB3 pins logic vs just pay the $149 price tag and get the keyboard dock that we know will work..

The sleeve is avail at 34.90€, the vga cable at 29€, and a travel kit at 39€.
Everithing is said being available in 2-4 days...
Last week was baja 500 prep for my but i'm back and moving forward with testing.
Don't waste your time with the female 3.0 adapter. The tablet is using one of the 40 pins on the proprietary adapter to look for termination from the keyboard dock to activate the USB host function. This is my theory but I still will test all 9 of the 3.0 pins.
The only way I will be able to test all 40 pins on the tablet connector is to either find a bare connector or wait for the asus usb adapter and open it. I'll start lookng for a bare connector next Week

If you google "1D09-36X" it comes up with other EU sites that carry it. Hopefully it won't be long till we get it in the US.
Does anyone happen to know the type/model/name of the connector is.
Maybe we can find something that is the same pin config and cut it open and splice in a usb 3.0 female cable.
I've spliced many a cable together for similar purposes, just need the connector end.
We as reseller have direct contact with asus. I called today Asus Netherlands about the usb host adapter.
Atm this moment there only 2 accessoires on the market, which are as follow:
- Asus Sleeve
- Asus Dock
The Sales Manager at Asus Netherlands told me that several other people asked for the USB Host adapter also. They said it wont be on the market until 3th quarter of the year (Aug/Sept/Oct).
Asus Taiwain puts these items on the market. Asus Taiwan understands that there is some demand for this USB Adapter.
So, we have to wait until 3th qaurter 2011 or try to fabricate something ourselfs or wait for some crazy chinese which puts something similiar on the market.
I don't buy Transformers enclosed dock so I could try to create a USB host port for the machine. I use two USB host connected to each other (as shown) with the correct wire colors including red, black, blue and white.
However, it does not work, exactly what the machine does not respond when the USB plug. I thought maybe it needs a 5V source to power USB operation, but do not know how.
Who can help me this? Thanks.
Did you try an USB3 Female-to-Female adaptor?
I am pretty sure it uses different pins for dock. Also, I have a feeling that USB host hardware is located in the keyboard, because when dock is detached I only see 1 USB port in console, instead of 3. However, it's probably possible to somehow switch that port to a host mode.
Added: Nwm, lsusb works a bit different than on desktop linux. It only shows host port when something is attached to it. So, there are 4 USBs on transformer. 1 usb client, and 3 hosts.(probably a usb hub in the keyboard) So, it looks like there is host on the tablet itself, just need to find the correct pins.

Are you sure? There are a lot of signal wires in the 40 pin cable. It makes more sense if there is at least one host among some of those wires. If we grab power off the three + power lines in the 40 pin proprietary plug we could drive a small hub.
I was hoping to see some of these (hundreds available from dealextreme.com) modded for the tablet.

Yes, there is definitely a USB host on that 40 pin connector, but the way OP connected cable won't work because that connector on the cable only connects to the USB client. In other words, it uses wrong pins.
I'd offer some help but the forum rules state your post has to be in English.
Anyone know about a splitter that will take the 30-pin input and let you use one side for the 30-pin power adapter and the other side for 30-pin accessory like USB OTG pigtail?
I'm in the same boat,
Search and search but nothing,
You get USB to 2 30-pin but nothing for 30-pin to 2 30-pin adapters
The only option you have is to buy a Galaxy Tab break out board from Kinetica and solder your own cables to it..
What do you want to use at same time?
It would be nice to run external power while having an accessory plugged in such as the SD or USB drive or keyboard. I have 2 USB keyboards that have the pointing device built into it.
look in m y post in the make your own cables thread.
i added power to the odks circuit board and can watch movies via hdd at same time as charging.
easier way would be use the breaK out board though..
I have the connector parts, just I have to know the pin assignments...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155065&page=11
Look at this thread..
Try my post first one before this page..
It explains it..
pin 7 is the posative 5v @2amps...
pin 30 is the earth..
(this is how i run it in car connected to 2 amps 5v source)
works well and if start close to 100 percent battery power leave it plugged in it doesnt drop anything even after watching 4 movies in a row still is 100 percent.
eventually i disconnected it to let the battery drop down alittle as not sure if good to keep it at full charge?
Maybe the best way would be try to follow my dock mod?
that way you can just use the 30 pin usb adapter and add a powered hub.
havent given an update on "line out" output as my usb adapter is covering it up
the outlet socket.might consider opening it up again and finding out if works then relocate the 3.5 stereo socket outlet.maybe could just solder some wires to it inside and add a new output some where else more accessable..
This is a bit of an old thread, but thought people might like to know that I have found a solution! DealExtreme has a splitter that has 2 OTG connectors and a charging connector....

This is a bit of an old thread, but thought people might like to know that I have found a solution! DealExtreme has a splitter that has 2 OTG connectors and a charging connector....

Havent seen that cable before...anybody tried it?
Just curious IF and HOW it works...
I modded my dock to accept charge and host at same time but only triggers charge when hdd is connected whilst power applied.
I've got one from ebay. But its very poor quality. Its functionality is OK, but you cannot charge the Tab. External power is used to power the USB devices. It switches between internal Tab 5V and external 5V when applied. It ok with USB hdd that needs power.
o.k. thanks..
Cant help but wonder about the possibility of using it as charging and host at same time by using different resistor than 20k.not sure if you guys seen the thread about host and charging on galaxy s3 (hw mod) but they discovered a different resistance value 40.2k that could make the power part of the usb travel in both directions at the same time allowing this to happen...
im thinking the same could maybe happen for our 7.7 tab.

Anyone know about a splitter that will take the 30-pin input and let you use one side for the 30-pin power adapter and the other side for 30-pin accessory like USB OTG pigtail?

Ordered this one few days ago but unfortunately it's not in stock and they don't know when they will have it back in stock so, are there some other options?
