I wounder if any one is interesting ? arduino - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

:angel:
I got my hand on the arduino + tft 3.2 lcd screen but i woulder if it possible to connect Xperia S via OTG to it but it is recognised but arduinocommander it is not work or it not change status from silver to blue

I'm pretty sure you can do that. Maybe your cable is acting weird, actually most USB-OTG cables act weird in certain conditions.

what do you mean weird ?
I suspect it is because arduino draw too much power from the phone i will try via external powered usb hub later on
i really enjoed because for the duno like me in programing it is very easy to start but any support would be usefull as well i know about Adam from xda

Yeah, pretty much. Power issues, broken wires, anything really.

I really want this phone but HTC has held the camera flash back, limiting the usefulness of that 5mp cam. So looking for a solution I found this http://www.phonephlash.com/meet.html. Anyone tried it?

I haven't tried this one, but I know that it will work because I've taken a photo with my Trinity and had a friend fire his flash at the same time and the picture was fine, without the flash it was impossible.
I did a USB cable with 3 Leds connected in one end... if you plug in that to the USB port of the HD with a convertor will light like the Sun.
This is a example with just one led:

It did it with 3 leds but I can't find the web page with the instructions I follow.
Thank you! Great alternative!
in all frankness, i find it quite silly to use a 1000USD device to power an LED....why not using a battery?

Because I must carry with the X7500... so... should I carry a battery too? What for? I'm carrying the PDA plus the cable with the LED... that's all.
The whole thing seems to be a bit embrarasing, there you are using a US$ 1000 handset, with a USB LED hanging from the bottom, for me it'd look like a alien prostate examination tool, The Phlash seems to be a better idea.
pitty there isnt some plug and go little boc with one or thee leds.
but thanks anyway

[Q]Can Archos 70 use USB Mouse?

I've try with my CA-157 usb host cable to connect my usb Mouse, but the mouse show that have power but Archos seems nothing show up.
How can I test my mouse with Archos?
*my mouse is work on my PC.
Thats because the archos only can give a little bit of energy to usb host devices
Maybe you can test with an pc program how much energy your mouse need?

That program displays the USB device connected to a PC, but it doesn't show how much current the USB device is drawing, does it? I'm interested to know if there are PC programs to tell you how much current an USB device is drawing, as you said in your earlier reply :

If you plug the device into a windows PC (I'm on XP so apologies if this is not up to date) and look at the device manager/USB devices, one of the tabs on the properties sheet (power) will tell you how much current the device is drawing.
The USB mouse I have plugged in is drawing 100mA which is right on the limit for the A70. Of course you can always work through a powered hub but it's all extra cables!

Maybe you have the Usb Host Failure? Search here at forum
Yes, a USB mouse (and keyboard as well) did work on my A70s once I put it through a powered hub.
The specific one I used was a cheap Dtech DT-4012 which has an 700mA internal battery with a wimpy solar charger (but no jack for external power).
The keyboard works as expected and you will suddently get a conventional mouse pointer on the screen when the mouse is working. This of course is real handy when trying to use a tablet with an external display through the HDMI port.
Note that I could NOT get this to work with Belkin F5U404 powered hub or a very generic 7-port powered hub I bought some time ago that seems more interested in providing a flashing multicolored light show than being a powered hub. I'm thinking this might be because these hubs somehow don't tell the USB port on the A70s to switch from an "OTG" (client-mode) USB port to a "Host"-mode port. Anyone know how to manually switch modes (such as in poking something in /sys somewhere?). Something like this had to be done on a Nokia N810 (which I still have one), so maybe I'll check and see how it was done.
... i tested a while ago and it didn't real worked how i wanted it to work

How to creat a USB port for the Transformers do not dock ?

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.

I don't know the female-to-female USB, but I think that I am creating is it.
I think the problem lies in the cord is too long may not get external USB device. Is there a way to grant more power to it?

-_- The problems lies in the fact that it's not a USB HOST.

Yeah, to be quite honest Asus completely blows as far as hardware support for this product is concerned. It's hard enough trying to find a REPLACEMENT charger let alone hold out hope of aftermarket accessories.
And the adapter looks huge. I prefer a cable.

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.

Wait too long accessories. Testing this stuff is very interesting though unsuccessful, hehe. I'm looking for a USB host power supply itself to see why. Hope everything good change.

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.

Question: Other users have said that you can charge from USB, but it charges slowly and it depends if the USB has enough power supplied to it. Have you tried a powered USB slot?

It works charging from usb connected to a car charger or wall charger but not from any ports on my laptop and I really am saying any general user will not have access to something like a high output USB port on their computer. so...yes, I've tried, no it wont work.
Trust me, when it comes to this device, I know a lot lol.

I'm curious now if my custom built desktop has a high output USB port. I'll have to check the specs on my motherboard when I get home.
Ha...
I just posted in the other thread about charging with USB.
Anyways, I've had success charging through a laptop and PC with the NT powered off (screen off maybe enough).
Tested! went to sleep with 25% and woke up to 100% connected to a laptop that was powered on all night, with the NT powered off completely.

If USB charging is anything like the NC I recall discussion about the power output of USB being too low to really charge with gusto. Dunno if this translate to the NC but wouldn't be surprised. Overnight with the NT off? Sounds possible.

One point of constructive criticism that I see with a lot of videos:
If you have the ability to mount your camcorder on a tripod or something else so that it isn't moving around, and it keeps both hands free, and the video much more smooth.

Maybe try setting it up behind you somewhere and figure out the field of view with it zoomed in some. Like on another table or something else a little higher. Prop it up and get the angle right and once you figure out the field of view and the correct zoom, it will accomplish the same thing.

[Q] HDMI connection. Have I missed something?

Hi. I just bought an adapter from to connect from the "bottom" 30-pin output (in this case) to a HDMI cable. Thing is, my TV (also a Samsung, btw) will not recognize the HDMI connection, which works perfectly with my laptop. So, I suppose I have missed something here, most likely something quite elementary. Any hints, please?

Did you also attach the power adapter ?
I had the same thing when Trying to connect via the 8.9 dock. You need external power for hdmi to work
External power? As in plugging into the 30-pin thing, which is already taken by the HDMI adapter? (Now I'm SURE I have missed something . . )
Ah - the power adapter! Well, I knew it had to be something elemental! That being said, I can't say this seems like an easy (nor elegant) way of doing things, but it works. At least.
Thanks to the both of you!
