[maemo-users] USB Host Power injectors as retrofit USB phone chargers driven to run in reverse

Hi, all

    On the question of power injector implementation to enable host mode USB OTG on the Nokia 770, has anyone tried running a USB phone charger for phones that weren't designed to be charged by USB out-of-the-box (OTB <.|,>) and plugging in a 9V battery in a casing with a stereo mini-plug port or smaller and the USB end into a USB hub then the hub via a USB A/MtoUSB-mini converter into the Nokia 770 mini USB port. The hub should give a number of free USB A/F ports for plugging in devices minus whatever splicing arrangement one prefers for connecting the charger-turn-injector into the hub. I suspect one would have to chose a hub that allows (against pre-USB-OTG specs) to feed additional power to the host to support host mode functionality. Power adapters in pre-OTG specs are supposed only to feed power to higher-demand devices, not to their host. Also, it would be nice not to be tied to an external wall plug, hence the battery in some web-posted designs makes sense. Another thing to charge, but what's new. Edison won out in devices, Tesla in efficient long-distance power distribution. Home is where you charge your batteries all the OTG devices of your e-life: get one, it's really fun.     

Cheers,

    Paule
