USB SDHC Card reader

---

Can anyone recommend a USB SDHC card reader that I can mount on my CM9 touchpad?

I've got the USB Y cable and can see the contents of USB sticks in Astro file manager, also managed to view the pictures on the memory card in my Olympus SLR camera. Unfortunately my other camera Canon compact camera doesn't support mass storage mode, so i want a SDHC USB card reader that i can plug into my touchpad to view the pictures on the memory card.

I've tried a couple of SDHC USB dongles and haven't been able to get them to work, i plug them in and nothing happens, no blinkning LEDs, no files showing in Astro.

So has anyone got this to work, if so can you post a link to the card reader you use?

Thanks!

Make sure you're file manager is set to show all/hidden files.
I use tiny Dane elec readers but any should work.
Make sure they are fat 32 format.

Does USB OTG work on cm9?

I can't get it to work with my nexus OTG adapter?

Yes it works
You need correct y and OTG cable and appropriate power source.

I managed to get astro to show the files on an USB Key, but when plugging 2 diff Card readers, and an SD card (fat32), although one of the adapters shows a led, USB storage remains empty under Astro...

any ideas?

I took a punt and bought another SD card reader from amazon and it worked!

In case anyone else is looking for the same thing it's called "Daffodil UCR03 Ultra Slim all-in-1 USB 2.0 Memory Card Reader" on amazon.co.uk. This reads my 8GB SDHC card fine. Cost me about £3.50.

Can't include a link as forum won't let me cos i'm a newbie.

Would this work with WebOS too? And does this need external power source such as a USB hub?

I'm a total noob at this and could use a for-dummies version of how to connect a USB SDHC card reader to the Touchpad (I only recently flashed CM9).

Specifically, I would appreciate if someone could point me towards the exact products I would need in order to set up a USB card reader for my TP. I assume that I will need (1) a USB card reader (such as the Daffodil product mentioned by obo789) and (2) a micro USB adapter of some sort so that I can connect the USB card reader to the TP (is this the "OTG Cable" mentioned)?

If so, is there a particular USB card reader and cable that people recommend?

Once I've obtained the necessary products, would I just D/L Astro File Manager from the App store? Would EZ File Manager also work?

Sorry for the noob questions. I searched this and other forums but could not find a definite answer.

All the details on how to connect are here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&highlight=otg

It just needed a 5 second search.

Thank you so much for the link. I kept searching for USB card readers and nothing came up (here and on other online forums). I didn't t think to search for USB OTG compatibility since, until last night, I had no idea what USB OTG meant.

Thank you again for your help and for pointing me in the right direction.
