Hi,
I was hoping to try using BRLTTY with my Brailliant BI 40 connected via
USB to my Kapsys Smartvision 2 phone. I posted the below message last
weekend, but hadn't had any response.

Hi,
I need clarification about the Micro USB host adapter, as referred to in
the BRLTTY On Android documentation, in particular for connecting a
Braille device via USB. My Braille device, the Brailliant BI 40, uses a
Micro USB port, but I'm a bit confused, as it is not that connector
which renders the device a host? It is the USB-c end of the cable
plugged into the Android device's USB-C port which renders that device
the host? So is that end of the cable otherwise the same as any USB-C
connector? Or is this a separate adapter that fits onto the USB-C end of
the cable? And what happens if the Braille device also has a USB-C port,
such as in the case of the new Brailliant BI 40 X or BI 20 X models?
Wouldn't that situation require a different sort of cable again?
Regards
Vivien
