Nook Tablet is known to have "extended USB" connector with bunch of extra pins in addition to standard microUSB's 5, and it seems it is the same (at least mechanically) as on Nook Color. Unfortunately, I wasn't able more specific information about the connect than this thread, and Novaports teardown picture which clearly (well, blurily) shows 17 pins, half of them apparently connected to something more interesting than power and ground.
So, is there updated information on this matter? I know folks here made hardware mods while cracking open the Tablet, so I don't believe it could escape their scrutiny. I don't suppose there's UART in there, but well, who knows, maybe charging LED is controlled by full-fledged GPIO for example ;-)
Hello , please read the rules before posting
Thread Locked/Deleted - This Is A Development Section, Not Q&A -READ BEFORE POSTING-
I agree about putting it in the right forum, but this could lead to some interesting development. I would like to know what the pinout is as well. I tried finding out what the pinout was for the evo shift some time back. I had an idea for a dock/case combo that would allow full use of the physical keyboard as well as docking inside a vehicle. I had no luck with finding the pinout, so that idea went into the scrap pile.
I hope a mod simply moves this to the right thread instead of locking or deleting it.

This. It's starting to get annoying with all of these "mods" that aren't actually mods.
I'm sorry if this was wrong place to post this, but this is indeed more of a development question, not a random newbie's one. I did my homework, but didn't find anything regarding Nook Tablet, so figured this is a worthy topic for device enablement, and I collected initial information and links to objective info in the first message.
My second idea was to catch attention of AdamOutler and other experienced developers.
Again, I'm sorry if with all this motivation it was still wrong to post here. And I understand the mods - XDA-Developers is a huge place, so without keeping it organized it would be havoc. But I hope there's difference between "How do I install Angry Birds?"/"How to replace back cover?" and "Let's collect all info on specific device enablement feature in one visible and easily found thread in the forum where interested people will likely look for it".
Just because it can lead to development doesn't mean it is. You can always ask a MOD to move it when it is appropriate.
If you don't like people stating the rules and asking you to follow them, then I would advise you follow them. You don't have to be a mod to ask people to do so.
There is a Q&A section now that is for people's questions.
Thread Closed
The development section is not for questions, even if they are Dev related. Please post in the Q&A section. It is not my job to move threads around, you should post in the correct section.
Please dont get into a argument over the legitimacy of a threads location. Just use the report button and a moderator will act accordingly
a few years ago, my friend showed me an app on his iphone that was pretty awesome. it requires a headset with a built-in mic and the app takes the surrounding sounds and repeats them in your ear. It is kind of trippy because the sounds all start to build up and freaks you out. Anyways, im trying to find that app and if theres one for Android
Thanks guys

Hi, I have an Asus Transformer TF101, and one of my HDDs automatically spins down after a few minutes of idle. However another drive I have [that is 2.5", usb-powered] continually runs when it's plugged in, whether it's being used or not.
I was wondering if there's any way to make this other hdd spin down after a few minutes? Thanks

Hello Guys!
I am wondering how difficult would it be today to use our current Android tablets as an head unit in a car????
In the past people have attempted it with okay end result! but today we have very powerful tablets and the best part is they're equipped with USB-C. How hard would it be to use generic backup cameras that are meant for regular head units convert it into an USB input?
I am a car enthusiast and i have few classic cars! I don't want to remove the stock head unit and ruin the look! Instead I can use magnetic mount to hold the tablet!!
I would simply like to have a USB-C dongle underneath the dash to which a usb camera will be connected and also power. The USB-C dongle will connect to the table via USB-C port and provide power and camera input. we can simply press a camera logo on the tablet to get the backup image or figure out a way to place a trigger on reverse lights whenever they're on meaning you put your car in reverse and reverse lights gets 12V so will the trigger and automatically bring up reverse camera image to front on the tablet! I know this isn't an insane idea or most difficult thing to do! But I am willing to fund this project for myself and for the sake to fellow car enthusiast & Non-enthusiast who can benefit from this! Since in todays age reverse cameras are considered safety & mandatory equipment!
Thanks a lot In advance!!
