Hiya,
On the 7" tabs we have 2xmini-usb ports and no ethernet port.
One OTG port - for firmware upgraded via a PC, the other for connecting USB storage/pen drives and the like, to transfer data.
Unfortunately as we know, this latter mini-usb won't support a direct connection to a PC, which makes its use limited.
However I have a wireless keyboard/mouse combi working very nicely through this port. So clearly there is a driver that supports a keyboard.
So the question is - what other devices can be linked through these ports?
I have tried a usb<->rj45/cat5 connector to try and get the ethernet hardwired for overnight docking/ip camera monitoring. But this does not appear to work.
I assume this is all down to what drivers the ports do/don't have.
Is anyone able to confirm what these ports can be used for.
Thanks,
MD
