just wondering because there is a cf 2 to usb host card out there and there are SD to micro SD adapters but I can't seem to find cf 2 to SD but with it I think we could get usb host on any SD equiped ppc now that would be slick. Or is this just one of them things where you could cary over the pins on the compact flash2 card to sd or does it have to have the inbetween I have found plenty sd to compact flash but nothing the other way prolly because a device that would take a sd card could never house a compact flash card inside it but sense I am looking at having it all external prolly built into a compact powered usb hub its not a issue.
well im thinking if I take one of the sd to too cf2 adapters and pry it open I may be able to just solder it all togeather and get it to work without the adapter that im lookin for if I can get this working would anyone else be interested in have a usb host dongle for there vogue and ummm I think this thread may fall into the univeresal mod sense in therory it should work for any ppc with a micro sd card slot. So if a moderater would want to move this to the right thread thats fine with me.
ok more poking around and well look at this is it actually stating that it handles the usb host onboard? I feel pretty dumb sometimes and the wording makes it look like that could use some intput. http://www.supermediastore.com/sansdigital-mobilestor-ms1u-2-5-usb-enclosure.html#description
well from the website it says you can directly copy stuff from cards to a hard drive you have installed in this without the need for a computer so my thought is yeah it has usb host my only thought now is would it hook up to the usb port on the touch and be recongized it might need a special driver.
Hi all,
I am taking off for a month long vacation to Asia and India soon and am having a tough time imagining my life without a functional computer... so, what better alternative (along with my 3G phone) than then Nook Color...
but...
One of the most appealing concepts to me would be to use the NC as an "uploader" of pictures I will be taking with my SLR.
So, can this be done:?
1. take out MicroSD card from Camera and somehow, with some adapter, connect via the USB port on the NC.
2. Use an app to mount/view the MicroSD storage unit and copy to the NC storage, some/all of the pictures i want.
3. Use the SmugMug Andoird App and WiFi via NC to upload pictures while I travel.
>> I guess i could do this via the the mobile phone I'm bringing, probably by swapping the memory card on the phone and using the same app, but i believe the larger screen size and easier text input would make the NC perfect for this.
Thoughts?
Thanks ahead of time.
Check in the development section for the thread on usb host support. It tells you how to hook your camera to the nook with a usb cable, I've never tried it but a lot of people swear by it.

I have NC with CM 7.1 stable on EMMC. I am able to use an unpowered USB card reader to transfer pictures off both full sized and micro SD's. Other than being on CM7 the trick is getting the correct cable. Here is the one I use:
Micro USB Host Cable (OTG Cable) - Xoom, Galaxy S2, Nokia N810 / N900, Toshiba TG01, Archos G9. New Version with more accommodating "L" shaped connect
Off Amazon.
You'd probably be better connecting directly to your camera, if your camera can do it. For many things connected using USB host you need a powered hub, but since the camera has its own power it probably doesn't need the hub.

There's also at least one raw format decoder called RawDroid.
I haven't tried this, but I imagine you could use a microSD to SD adapter and just use microSD cards in your camera. Take the microSD out of the adapter, put it into the Nook and copy the photos over with a file manager. This would obviously cost you more money, as microSD (I believe) is more expensive than SD, but it would save you some hassle on the Nook side.
There are few ways to get this done but b4 trying one, make sure you meet all requirement.
1. Some members suggest you swapping the uSD. It's a fastest way BUT make sure you are running CM7 off eMMC if you're booting it off the uSD itself, then forget about this method.
2. If you Tx pix directly from camera to NC, make sure you do have the microUSB-to-whatever your camera USB connector type: miniUSB or USB, cable.
Awesome tips guys, thank you.

Can't imagine what that would be useful for unless all the shooting is done in RAW and you want to preview or something...

This is what I do. Micro-sdcard w/ adapter in my Canon. Pop the card out, and put into the NC (after first uninstalling the card I normally have in there).
view pictures, copy them to internal memory, etc.
As stated above, you must not be running CM7 off the sdcard for this method to work.
I think it would also be possible to plug a flash drive in using an OTG cable (w/ power) and backup to that as well - I haven't tried that yet.
If you wanted to run cm7, you should be able to do the opposite - sdcard into a reader plugged into NC using OTG cable (w/ power?) and then copy to the sdcard that you are running cm7 from.
wow im interested in this, but do we really need a otg cable? since cm7 comes with usb-host support?
btw can the nc supply enough power to the card reader? or a 1-to-2 splitter so that the nc can be charged at the same time?
and what apps are suitable for this kind of usage?
wow the ipad got something like this already: http://terrywhite.com/techblog/archives/7657
but ipad are much larger... needs a backpack, nc can fit in a large pants pocket.
That's the cable that works for me. Plenty of power for the card reader.
i also use a microSD to SD adapter in my camera, and pop the microSD to copy the files in the internal memory of the nook (then, as i am a freak about not loosing my pics, copy them from internal memory to 2 backup microSD's)
i dont know if it impacts in anyway in the performance of the camera, i shoot with a 12 megapixels canon powershot in jpgs and 720p videos. i'm not very exigent with the transfer rate of the card
it seems that quickpic (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder) is a good (and faster?) alternative to the built-in gallery.
what is needed... (for people who need to use a card reader) since the nook can only supply 100ma power...
1. a y-splitter cable (where can I find one? are there ready made ones?)
2. a usb charger
3. a microusb male to usb type-a famale
4. a card reader, of course
The cable I mentioned and a card reader work fine for me, no need for additional power.
So basically i want to transfer photos and videos from my go pro to my phone via otg and micro sd usb adapter whilst i'm on the go but thing is that it won't mount at all plus my phone is rooted

fat32 format ntfs not supported
I have purchased a new Galaxy Tab S2 with the idea of using it to transfer photos from my DSLR when I travel. Tried it out and was disappointed to find out that there is an annoying snag. Here is the sequence of events
Moved my class 10 micro SD from my Sony Tablet to the S2
No problem, I can review all folders and content on the card.
Connected my Pentax K30 with a class 10 16gig SD card on board using the Pentax supplied USB cable and an adapter (non Pentax) to match the USB port on the S2, camera set to PTP
the S2 reports that the SD card is corrupt.
Removed the SD card from the camera and connected using an SD card reader
the S2 reports the card as Pentax USB, but displays two of them with identical names
When I open the file it displays the directory of the INTERNAL MICRO SD card and not the directory of the SD card in the card reader?
If I remove the internal micro SD card
the S2 connects correctly both through the camera direct connect and through the card reader correctly
If I replace the internal micro SD card with a class 4 card
the S2 connects correctly both through the camera direct connect and through the card reader correctly
There seems to be conflict running two class 10 cards at the same time on an S2, what gives?
Eh, what file format? ExFat, Fat32 or NTFS?
NTFS is not supposed on Samsung stock ROM.

Or perhaps your class 10 micro SD is not fast enough for the internal SD card slot.
Also, what is the file system of your SD card(s)?
Last but not least, what file manager did you try?
(Usually, exFat works best on the s2. But of course Fat32 is supported as well. NTFS on the other hand, nope.)
