Title: OTG and Charging
Post by: davidmc36 on September 17, 2022, 03:54:20 PM
I want to use this mainly for Hummingbird Feeder and ISS in "Off Season".

There are many videos and such showing how to make a cable with a switch so you can run  OTG and charge at the same time.

I don't think I have exhausted all the options yet but I'm wondering.......has anybody actually got this to work? And does it do more than just light the charge indicator? Does it actually charge?

There are some hardware models that are indicated as non-compatible, but it seems from info the Galaxy S5 I am trying to set it up on should be good to go.

Some posts I have read indicated it appeared to work but phone just went down in battery anyway.
