[BRLTTY] Fwd: Fwd: Cable required for connecting Braille device (in my case Brailliant BI 40) with Android device

[Vivien Palcic]

Hi,


I'm still awaiting clarification re this query. Is the non-USB-c end of 
the cable even supposed to be going into the micro-USB port of the 
Brailliant BI 40, or into its other port (the USB-A one) in order to use 
BRLTTY and connect via USB instead of bluetooth?

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
