John, It's the felHR85 UsbSerial library. That the base library that is then wrapped into a B4A library. It supports several different USB devices. Some with more support than others. Link Kurt On Friday, February 12, 2016 8:54 AM, John R. Hogerhuis wrote: On

Yeah that was what kept me away from attempting mComm on Android. It was finding this library that gave me the nudge. There are some features I hope will be added such as DSR sensing which will allow me to do more through TELCOM/HTERM but it's been a stable library so far and I don't have to

Willard, Thanks for the update. I have not tried it with a Galaxy tab. I have used a Nexus 7, Motorola Moto-X, Droid Mini and have received reports about a Nexus 5. I'll look into the Galaxy. Maybe there is a setting for powering the OTG devices. I know with my phone that the FTDI chip draws

It's possible that some android os's may not ship with the USB serial driver (compiled as a module and not included). Something to verify if you can get one of these connected to adb. -- John.

Yes I have OTG support, the Tab is just picky about how much power it's willing to output. It'll power a sdcard reader or a flash drive, for instance, but won't power a Dell USB keyboard or an Arduino Uno.   Sorry should have said, Samsung OEM Android 4.2.2 is the OS. Found FTDI's official
