Dear Ytai After lots of email exchange whith them and time consuming, I had them to delete: That part of this board purchase was going to you. As for the sparkfun copy of the text !!!!
See their new add here : http://cgi.ebay.fr/IOIO-OTG-Android-Google-IO-Micro-PIC-controller-Android-CellPhone-Controller-dkj-/251370638846?pt=UK_Mobile_Phones&hash=item3a86db8dfe As I was ready to open a dispute and leave them a negative feedback they offered a complete refund of the board, as I found unfaire that I cannot use the help I need as this board was not purchased with any help from you. As I do not want to spend hours to make it just recognized by windows without having to short pins, I will purchase one at sparkfun or any other seller in the list. I will keep you posted.
