Hi!
Is it possible to connect a USB Pen to the magician and read/change its content?
Tanks!
No, don't think so, it doesn't allow USB host control, just slave (ie can connect it to a PC as a slave, but not control other USB devices).

Thank you!
Hi,
I have a USB GPS receiver that is powered via the USB cable wired into my car which I occasionally use with my laptop.
I would like to connect this to my universal, but am worried about it draining the battery.
I have a small Belkin USB hub that has external power (which I can provide from a transformer in the Cig lighter socket) that has one mini USB socket which is usually used to connect to the PC and then 4 standard USB ports.
If I connect the GPS to one of the USB ports and then Universal to another they should both be powered, but will the Universal be able to 'see' the GPS?
I know I could go and just try it, however it would be useful to know before hand incase it doesn't work when it is supposed to due to some driver issues or something similar.
Any thoughts appreciated.
To My understanding this is not possible, the mini usb port on the uni is not capable....there is a word to describe it but cant remember at the moment. The port can onl charge and sync.
it won't work
Sadly this won't work as the uni does not support usb host - it can charge and sync but thats all as far as i'm aware.
that was it "usb host" :lol:
THanks. That's a shame, I'll have to get a BT one now.
Or look for a cradle that will act as the host for both devices. Sadly when I searched on google, most of the returned results are blocked by my work firewall, so I can't see for sure that one exists for recievers with usb plugs.
edit* Although thinking about it, the price of a cradle could well equal a new bluetooth receiver, and bluetooth would be vastly more practical use of your cash.
Thanks, already trying to track down a BT receiver.
Why not?
What makes me wonder is that when my MDA Pro is connected via activesync with my PC, I can browse with my MDA over my PC-Internet connection into the Internet. Why should it not be possible to use the usb connection of the MDA with other hardware? :roll: Isn't it just a driver problem?
Any ideas???
hm
My thought on that would be that your MDA is acting as the slave device when attatched to your PC, not the host.
Hey, here's a market opportunity for you USB GPS manufacturers - add USB Host capability and TCP/IP protocol to your USB GPS device... What? Can't hear you. Ah, Too expensive?. Ah, ok :-(
Hi!
Is there any (not that expensive) possibility to "teach" the HTC Touch Cruise the USB Host functionality? I want to connect a mini USB TMC Reveicer and maybe another GPS Receiver that has an MD6 Connector.
Thanks in advance
USB Host functionality (USB On The Go, or USB OTG) is hardware based, so AFAIK, there is no way of achieving that on the Polaris.
Hello everyone,
I need to connect a usb peripheral to the Artemis P3300.The peripheral is a usb client device ,an rfid reader , from which i want to pass a short string of data to the Artemis.
My idea is to use an atmel microcontroller with usb on the go , to act as a host , read the data from the rfid reader and pass it to the Artemis using its mini usb port.
As I am quite new to this kind of engineering I would like to hear your opinion about this way of interfacing the Artemis with the microcontroller.Has anyone tried something similar? Do you think that the extUSB is suitable for a connection with a usb on the go host device?
Best regards
I can't find a proof data that Dell Streak support USB _host_
Does somebody know it for sure?
If yes, could it support at least usb keyboard/mouse and external HDD without some kind of hacks?
You can use blutooth keyboard http://www.streaksmart.com/2010/06/dell-streak-supports-bluetooth-keyboards.html
how would you connect usb devices with cable?
So, let's imagine we sucessfully connected Keyboard and Mouse as Bluetooth HID devices.
But, sorry, it's not discover whether does it have USB host (!) or not.
The question is:
-will we have ability to have acess via USB to our USB storages (any, HDDs, DVD/BD drives, Flash drives)
-will we have ability to use USB peripheral devices like (additional) USB video cameras, printers, USB-Ethernet devices, etc (after got drivers for it)?
