[katysei]

0) I bought digispark pro otg(1-2 weeks ago , hoping it will get soon. any idea when?

i wandered if for simple host-android , arduino slave do i need otg support on arduino?

1)  can I buy digispark(not pro) or arduino uno and connect android device through otg-usb cable
power the arduino and communicate via usb.
without special chip. on either side?

or do i need the android device with otg(say moto g) and /or arduino with otg support.

2) any code/software package for android-arduino via usb do anybody can  recommend?

best regards

jossie.

Wiki search only shows OTG documented for DIGIX - Dougal noted this 6/20.

Did you back the PRO BETA on KickStarter?  If so you should have confirmation email to check status.  Haven't seen notes on non-Beta or post KickStarter near shipping yet.

WWW search shows lots of OTG Arduino notes:

I found two apps for my Android Phone to OTG program standard Arduino - I only sampled Free version Apps but saw it work.  That suggests anything can be done there - on supported devices.

hi defragster.

I pre-oredred  and payed through amazon payments, got a receipt.(i'm new so i guess I'm not a backer and won't get the beta)
ordered from this

The Digispark Pro is the cheapest, ready to go, easy to use, mobile hardware development platform!

With Bluetooth Classic, BLE, and Wi-Fi shields and examples for Android and iPhone - and USB Serial (built-in) connectivity for Android (devices with USB OTG supporting Serial devices) .


"
I understood from that that the device has USB-OTG.now i'm not sure what it means "built in connectivity for android.


and thankk u. for the OTG info.

I'll probably try to buy also the non pro digispark, i understand it's in stock and seems cheap.

Hi Jossie@katysei

The KStart Beta planned for May and shipped June - the other PRO rewards are quoted/planned July.  You can count on updates from Erik as time nears and there is stuff to share.  Erik had to make and ship Pro&Beta shields to 175 backers - next shipment will be to 1,600+ folks and 10,000+ various boards.  It topped $103k on KStart and the Beta Units value under $6k - and that doesn't count the late addons . . . luckily final production will have assistance.
