Hi all.
Just noticed something interesting about this 'phone.
It has USB host mode in there, but so does the Galaxy S.
(on the S you need to mod the phone and custom FW it though)
It stands to reason that if it can detect a pendrive, etc then there is no reason why I
couldn't modify a standard "jig kick" module with the 5 pin microUSB to connect to my
PIC programmer.
Many other phones use this connector so if it works on one then a simple 'Droid port of
JDM84 or PIP02 or whatever would allow PICs and AVRs and suchlike to be programmed
from a standard phone with a simple app download.
Even put the app ON the usb device so you plug & play.
If anyone else has one of these cables please let me know, I'd be interested to see what
other devices it works with.
Being able to print directly from a phone would be an amusing hack, plus this would be a
handy mod for serial ports etc so the phone can control external devices.
-A
(btw the "jig kick" is a simple resistor between two pins)
