Hello there,
As you probably know the Android operating system used in phones and tablets is becoming more and more popular. Some features are a little new yet though so it's sometimes unclear what the best way to do certain things is.
What i'd like to know is if anyone has successfully used the USB OTG (USB On The Go) connection on some tablets to convert it to a serial port using perhaps a serial to USB converter 'cable'.
Some tablets dont come with Bluetooth either, and some people that have tablets with Bluetooth would prefer to use an external Bluetooth adapter so that they can get more range with their tablet. Either way, it would be nice to be able to do this too.
Apparently it may be a driver issue or just somehow getting the tablet to recognize the external device.
So has anyone done this yet?
