Hey all,
I've been playing around with USB devices today. I seem to be running into some snags. I searched the forums, but the closest answer i could find was over in the Augen section. The Gentouch currently doesnt support USB Host mode without a different ROM, which is one of the reasons i ditched it in favor of the Kyros.
I plugged a generic $5 keyboard i got from Office Depot in and it worked spot on.
PNY Attache 4gb flash drive, no problems. (I think the files were under SCSI, if i remember right).
*edit, yes they are in the /SCSI folder. Edit the Vold.conf file in /etc to change the default mount folder. Don't blame me if you break it though!*
I then plugged a generic hub in that gets all it's power from the port it is plugged into... I got led, but nothing else. Figures as much, not enough power. Maybe a hub that has external power might work. I dont have one so i dont know.
Here's my big issue though... I plugged my Logitech wireless mouse dongle in.. I had cursor movement in Dolphin for a minute, and then nothing. I unplugged and then plugged back in: nothing. I tried my second mouse (identical to the first one)... nothing.
Plugged my Daughter's Microsoft wireless mouse in, it detected it right away, but.... it treated it like a d-pad. Move up, screen goes up. Down is down. Moving left and right only highlighted items to the left and right as if you were pushing the left and right arrows on a keyboard.... Ghaaa! I had cursor for a brief moment on the first mouse, so i am fairly sure this works...
It should also be noted that when i plugged her dongle in.. my home screen flashed black for a second and then back to normal. Right when it came back up, the mouse was recognized.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Also, It'd be great to see a master list of confirmed working devices through the USB port. Thoughts and ideas?
