So I'm getting the gear together to try out Android mcomm and got the FTDI rs232 adapter today. Gave it a try....
And my tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7) flatly refused to power the adapter. Hooked it up through a powered hub and it works. I'm still gonna give mcomm a try but the requirement of wall power for the hub will make it, well, a lot less "on the go". :-( Now I want to be clear here, this is NOT a complaint about mcomm or any other m100 goodness, just a warning that android devices can be awfully fussy about powering USB gizmos and people planning on using mcomm should just be aware.
