That certainly works (as proven) but it's not what I would like to do. For my project this is probably already taking to much space. For your info the project proposal I am working on involves adding more buttons to the device. The best for me would be to simply implement a usb-hid device. This is still in beta as I am doing some more research but input/contribution/joining the project is more then welcome http://wiki.github.com/keesj/push_nbutton > > A bit more out-of-the-box thinking is to do things backwards, i.e. get a beefy > microcontroller that does USB host mode or USB OTG, and have the N900 connect > to that.

Yea also you will need to create a gadget driver unless you use g_ehter or some other standard. I guess the Hammer CPU module is very well suited for this as you can run a full linux stack on this http://www.tincantools.com/product.php?productid=16133&cat=0&page=1&featured Greetings _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
