Hello,
I currently have a Wi-Fi network connecting a Samsung Tablet (acts as a host) and multiple phone devices. Communications is asynchronous and only between the Tablet and device, never device to device. Think of Erel's CCTV example, but with multiple connections.
To increase bandwidth, I would like to replace the Wi-Fi network with USB connections. I am thinking connect the the tablet to the USB hub In and then connect each device to the hub.
I have searched and found Erel's USB host library as well as some other threads, but nothing really addresses what I'm considering.
Does this have a chance of working?
Communications is asynchronous. I think I saw the word synchronous mentioned in Erel's library.
Another consideration will be power, but this is secondary. I would use a powered hub and I assume that each device pluged-in will be recharged, but I wonder about the Tablet. Does this receive power from its USB In connection to the hub?
Thanks for any insights or pointers.
Barry.
