No, that port is host-type only

Thanks @falkTX.

How about connecting the Type B port to a android tablet? Will that work?

Only if the android tablet supports OnTheGo settings, aka usb-host on that port.

Anyone been successful in connecting an Android device to a MOD device using USB? I’ve tried with the MOD Duo X but been unsuccessful so far.

I have an OTG adapter which works with my Android (I can add a flash drive).
I’ve enabled USB tethering on the Android through developer settings, but the Android doesn’t seem to identify the MDX as a network device because the USB tethering option says “No usb device connected”.

Anyone willing to share how you managed to make it work if you’ve been successful?

I have a couple of Lenovo android tablets but neither support network over USB (even with an OTG adapter) so I use Bluetooth, which is slow but works.

I didn’t manage (nor tried) to do it. But have you experimented with changing the USB-B Mode on the device? Sometimes simply “refreshing” them may help the device recognize it.
Worth a try, I guess :slight_smile:

Yeah, I’ve tried all kinds of different combinations of both these and other settings. Unfortunately no difference.

Likely Bluetooth is your best chance :confused:
It’s likely something on the way that the Android OS works.

Yeah probably… But I will try with a Wifi dongle first after reading about some slow bluetooth issues :slight_smile:
