would there be any adverse consequences to the neo always assuming it's in host mode (and thus supplying power also), unless a voltage is detected? i.e. as soon as any power disappears, it automatically switches back to device again? from what i can tell from previous discussions, being provided with power while supplying it, doesn't damage the neo, as it automatically turns off the power when this happens i'm not thinking just about keyboards here, but more about 'faking' a usb otg port, or at least something similar _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
