While a thread on this topic does exist in the xda General section, I thought it would be nice to get a GTab-specific discussion on this particular new app. For all the photographers out there (well in this case, those who use Canon DSLR's), an absolutely incredible new app has gone to beta, called DSLR Controller. I won't bother repeating whats in the other thread, so you can see for yourself here
I have already purchased and installed it on my GTab, which is by the way running the Bonsai TW rom, and for the most part it works, with the exception of a few little bugs. Specifically, the touch-screen-to-focus only works the first time you try to do so after opening the program; after that it doesn't work and you need to use the manual toggles for focusing. I have yet to try it out on the stock 3.1 to see if perhaps the TW thing is the issue, though I anticipate doing some wipes and rom flashes in the coming days once an update.zip is available for the stock US version of the TW rom.
Anyways just hoping that other 10.1 owners who are interested in this incredible app might be able to chime in with their experiences. Overall this app has HUGE potential for us photographers
thanks for this, I am planning on getting a 7D soon so hopefully this works out
I own a 7D, 60D and a 5D MKII. This works on all of them.
I wanted to buy this but I am not sure

Which cable do I need for my 7D?
EDIT:
I guess I need that one right?

Now if it were available in Austria I'd be happy :-/

Yup, thats what you need. I have one for my TAB. Camera connects fine however I'm unable to install the DSLR Controller app. I had to get a refund. No idea why it wouldnt install, other apps are installing fine. I'm running the latest TW rom on my I/O tab. I'll try again down the road.
This app looks absolutely amazing! I've seen various apps that connect to the computer program to control the camera. I dreamed off an app that would not require the computer. I never though it was possible, but I guess it is.
So all we need is the samsung usb adapter and our camera's usb camera?
Can't wait to use this with my 7D!

I recently got my hands on a quite interesting device, a cideko simple box.
Just for the sake of it, I'd like to hack it, and maybe even get a custom rom on it.
It's basically a set-up-multimedia-thingy-box for a TV running android, and it's pretty damn cheap.
Using adb via TCP/IP I was already able to connect and also get a rootshell (yay!)
However, it seems like no firmware files/instructions how to flash are available by the manufacturer (nay!)... I already asked them nicely, let's see what I get back.
You can find the adb bugreport output here if you're curious.
Anyone wants to help?

Saw this hardware before. 600Mhz, no openGL or any accelleration for games, nothing.
It does play back media files, but that's about it.
Very low-end chipset from Skyviia.. ARMv5TEJ at ~228 bogomips is pretty bad.
Does it support the install of apk files from USB? and does it allow flash on websites?

Did you manage to customise your Simplebox? I bought one and the description said "Install Apps and games via the built in SD card slot (APK files)" but I can't find anything in the manual.

I have one too. I like the device and the air keyboard, plus it was pretty cheap. I was really pleased that SMB/CIFS support worked out of the box and witha few other things, but thats where it stops. The software included is the let down, not the machine itself. Video playback is out of sync 99% of the time until you fast forward and/or rewind then it magically syncs up again, only 1 CIFS connection at a time, the vast majority of apps will not install and those that do fail to run, the video software displays long file names in such a way, that you cannot determine which file is which, etc. I sent Cideko an email asking them to pretty please provide a new update addressing these issues, but I heard nothing back and I sent it months ago.
The picture is good, the device is unobtrusive and if you rename your file appropriately then it is a bearable media streamer, but it could have been the best little cheap media box ever with just a little care and attention. Disappointing that no one is interested in improving it.
I have a Galaxy S2 (ATT) and I want to use a USB Inspection Camera with it. The inspection camera is basically a USB webcam at the end of a long USB cable. It has LED lights and is usually waterproofed.
So my plan is to use the Android phone with the USB Inspection camera with OTG. Can this be done?
I've tried to search OTG and webcam, but I just get "using your android phone as a webcam". But I want to use a USB webcam with my android phone.
After some searching, I found that if the snake cam (inspection cam) is a UVC-compliant webcam then it should be detectable by android. Waiting on an answer from the seller.
USB Inspection Camera using OTG
Hi,
Did you get any success on it , even i am also looking for such kind of camera.
Not yet, everyone I ask that sells these inspection camera's (mostly chinese companies on ebay) haven't answered me whether the camera's are uvc-compliant. So I haven't taken the plunge on buying one.
Android + USB on the go & UVC compliant camera...
Hey!
More then interested in this too...
Got an external drive working with Samsung GSII, but would surely be great if it is possible to connect a 'bullet-type' camera to it & use it for filming outdoor activities, saving it to the SGSII & upload them to Youtube afterwards...
[Offcourse buying a complete GoPro of Drift camera & putting the SDcard afterwards in the SGS would work too...]
I think those types of cameras have built in memory. So when you connect it to your computer it reads it as a camera/mass storage device. I don't think you'll have a problem.
I am looking for something different. I want a webcam (on a long usb cable) to display an image on my phone in real time.
This small, easy-to-use USB digital microscope/magnifier and camera/video camera has a host of uses besides inspecting or photographing ICs or sections of circuit boards. It offers magnification from 5X to 200X at distances up to 300mm from the subject. Functions include snapshots, video recording, time-lapse video recording, measurement and calibration. The unit comes with application software, a user manual, stand, two transparent covers and a calibration ruler. A display size of at least 17 inches is recommended for use with this device.

I got an inspection camera last week and I got to work on a rooted nexus 7, no custom ROM, kernal etc. but no video record yet only images. USB OTG and an app called SnapExWebCam. I know its an old thread, but I found it when I was first looking on how to do this so I didnt have to have my laptop under the car checking a starter/flywheel issue.

Hey thanks for the reply, I'm glad you found a solution. I needed it for work on my car and some HVAC work too. I got rid of that car, so I didn't need the inspection cam. But it is great to know for future reference. I actually now have the 2013 Nexus 7 so hopefully it'll work.
BTW, which inspection cam did you buy?

Yeah its been working. Dev not updated yet for video etc. but I can take snapshots and see live video. I forgot Ill put some pics up later today.

I want to flash a custom ROM or Kernel so I can overclock a little bit but have been unable to confirm if any of them have or don't have V4L enabled. Stock and just rooted mine works now.

I ended up with a camera that is not UVC-compliant. Is it possible to install device drivers in Android?
I presume the usb port of the NT is unusable until a kernel level root is developed. If someone would confirm for the hell of it, please do! (I grabbed a couple usb to micro-usb converters - but, no luck...)
I didn't research the usability until after I tried using the usb port! I figured it would be enabled... why not allow a keyboard, etc.? Anyway, that explains why I couldn't find out the 'port type' in the official specs (micro usb).
Read some stuff on the Nook Color - and I believe the usb is available for it when rooted.

USB host mode is part of the android kernel since gingerbread but the ROM has to support it.

Yeah - I guess as a USB host is the terminology I needed. I'm rooted - so, the Nook works fine as a device on my PC!
I just want to run devices from the Nook itself - particularly keyboard and game controllers (ps3).
It never occurred to me that it wouldn't function 'out of the box.' The only reason I can see to deny it is either battery drain or to guard against hack attempt. Pretty lame really!

Do you think it might be possible to replace elements using root to enable it?
Barring that, in one dev thread or another, I vaguely remember reference to a particular way of bypassing the bootloader lock, that if it worked would allow us to use custom ROMs but we'd be stuck with the B&N kernel. Does that sound familiar? What I'm really asking to anyone who might feel they know, is what are the odds the devs might crack USB host even if they can't get past the bootloader lockout?
Thanks to anyone with information.
Once this is enabled we wont just be able to use a keyboard, but also use it to browse your camera pictures, hard drives, etc

I just saw this on Reddit; might be old news to some, but this is the first I've heard about it. Apparently there is a $1.38 (on Amazon.com) cable that allows you to connect various USB devices, and if the device supports USB OTG, you can run flash or powered hard (not portable) drives, keyboards, mice, or even a hub to use more than one. If the device doesn't, it can be added with root, or included in a ROM. I'm not a developer. I'm not even a programmer, so I don't have the first idea on how this could be done. But a Bluetooth keyboard is around $80, and this will allow a $10 keyboard to be used, or a $10 mouse, for a cost of about $12 for one, $22 for both, plus whatever a hub goes for. So having USB OTG could save some folks a lot of money. Plus if they want to use a USB controller for gaming, they can save the cost of a PS3 controller entirely (about $40).

After reading my response and the subsequent responses, I realize that it probably came off flame-ish. My apologies. It wasn't so much the topic as it was posted in the dev forum. They frown on that, unfortunately.
I am open to questions if you have any regarding USB OTG. I had to mess around with various USB configurations until I found the right connections. When it works, it just works. But figuring it out from a Youtube video in another language made me want to write a guide. I hope it helps.
Good luck!
Well, I have a USB OTG cable coming at some point in the next week. I only paid 90¢ for it on Amazon, so it's not a huge loss if it doesn't work. I will consult your guide when I get it, if it doesn't just work. Obviously I'm gonna hook it up and try it as soon as I get the package.
I have two devices intended for it -- a 10" mini keyboard I got on Newegg for $15 (shipped). If I can't get this to work at all (and I'm sure I will be able to), I can use the keyboard for our bedroom computer, which has a half-broken, dirty, unwieldy "ergonomic" keyboard hooked up to it (and toss that one). Also a wired Xbox 360 controller, for mobile gaming.

The Chainfire program should be able to step you through the diagnostics of it. The biggest trick is getting enough power supplied to the phone plus the devices.

Any device that fully implements the standard USB HID protocol should just plug and play. A wired XBOX 360 controller should work, as well as the keyboard... as long as they don't require proprietary software/drivers to operate properly.
For my gaming solution, I went with the Sixaxis drivers for pairing with a PS3 controller through Bluetooth. That was pretty neat and it works. As far as keyboards, I have a wireless Logitech K400 with a touchpad which is fully functional. Using the one USB dongle which uses Logitech's 'Unifying' technology, I also have a Logitech M570 trackball mouse. So essentially, I carry a pocket-sized computer with me everywhere I go. Who needs a laptop?
Self-Powered USB Hubs work great with this setup, you can have multiple devices and Android (being based on Linux) will handle it as long as the kernel has the drivers built in. I've been having trouble trying to get external storage to work under CM7, but I also haven't been working to figure that out.

Hello,
I bought an external keyboard that connects via the mini usb port. It didn't work, but found a suggestion:
When I first connected my adapter that came with my tablet to the keyboard adapter I was very disappointed that nothing happened. I tried several different browser pages, but nothing happened. I read reviews on here and noticed on about that someone mentioned they changed their USB settings and their keyboard finally started working. So, I immediately went to my Settings, Advanced Settings, and then USB BUS MODE and changed it from DEVICE mode to HOST mode and VOILA - the keyboard immediately started functioning

OTG is not implemented yet on the stock nor current cm10 roms based on what I have asked in this forum for Nook Tablet. I know you can do this with the new nooks that have monochrome display. May I ask where did you read this article?

I wasn't looking specifically for how to get it working on the tablet, just looking in general for how to do it in android. Hopefully they implement the otg soon
I just downloaded the new cm10 (snappy and no more reboot/sdcard lost errors!!) but there wasn't anything about the type of usb connection in that one either...
Am I not going to be able to use this keyboard? Will I have to break down and buy a price blue tooth one????

At this time the NT does not have usb otg on any ROM, it may in the future, but if and when is not known at this time. The NT will never have bluetooth, Never. It has been well documented why, do a search and read. So a BT keyboard will never work. Is it really that hard to type with your thumbs?

It isn't really a matter of difficulty, it is a matter of duration. I didn't want a full laptop and I like the android os so wanted to try a tablet with a keyboard for my mobile computing needs. I am do a good amount of typing (chapters for novels and such) and prefer a keyboard. I was using my phone before and it was a lot slower than what I can do with a keyboard and got tiring after an hour or so. It isn't detrimental that I can't use a keyboard, just desired.
