USB Camera

[zspeciman]

I've bought an usb endoscope type of camera that I connect to both my laptop and to my samsung galaxy s5 via a usb otg cable. The app I use for the camera is the camerfi from google play and it works great. I tried to connect it to the nook hd+ via a female usb coupler but it won't work. Any ideas how to get this working?

I believe the USB Host feature is available only on CM10 and CM11 ROMs (and only for certain USB device types).

What ROM are you using?

I got 2 nooks, one on the latest lollipop cm12.1 and the other on cm11 M12.

CM12.1 current builds do not support USB Host.

On CM11 you need to use verygreen's UsbHostSwitcher app to enable it, although it does not look like USB camera is supported -- see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43053751&postcount=29.

Thanks for the info digimax. The usbhostswitcher app doesn't install on the cm12.1 but does on cm11. When I switched it on, while the camera wasn't working as you've predicted, the led light of the endoscope camera did turn on. Maybe someday there will be a fix to this, one can only hope.
