Hi all,                                                                         
                                                                                
         
                                                                                
                                                                                
         
FYI, here are few photos of what I ended up doing over the weekend              
                                                                                
         
with my lapdock to be able to use MUSB both for power and HID. This             
                                                                                
         
allows not having to waste the USB hub ports for the power:                     
                                                                                
         
                                                                                
                                                                                
         
http://muru.com/linux/panda-lapdock/                                            
                                                                                
         
                                                                                
                                                                                
         
Those USB connector boards and super caps are from sparkfun. The caps           
                                                                                
         
are 2.5V each, so need to be in series. They allow running panda es             
                                                                                
         
for a few seconds which is enough to compensate for the 1 second glitch         
                                                                                
         
in the lapdock VBUS when closing the lid :)                                     
                                                                                
         
                                                                                
                                                                                
         
The holes on the sparkfun USB breakout boards align nicely for easy             
                                                                                
         
soldering and the whole thing is hotglued together. Then the Panda ES           
                                                                                
         
is just attached to the lid with some velcro.. Thanks Paul on the               
                                                                                
         
suggestion for using super caps for the VBUS glitch!                            
                                                                                
         
                                                                                
                                                                                
         
Still need to find a 1 foot mini-A to mini-B USB OTG cable if anybody           
                                                                                
         
has seen those.                                                                 
                                                                                
         
                                                                                
                                                                                
         
One minor issue still remains.. MUSB does not switch to host mode               
                                                                                
         
automatically without replugging the USB cable, so after booting                
                                                                                
         
I need to plug in regular power cable, replug USB then, unplug                  
                                                                                
         
the regular power cable to get the HID devices going. Sounds like               
                                                                                
         
a bug somewhere in the transceiver driver.                                      
                                                                                
         
                                                                                
                                                                                
         
Cheers,
