Saw something neat on the tubes the other day.

You can hack a Fire Tablet and use something called an OTG cable to turn the tablet into a CarPlay/Android Auto display.

OTG cables are something like $10.

what the otg cable used for? Generally the purpose of those is just to make the usb connection two way, aka enable the tablet to write to something usb.

Also, every fire tablet i have ( and we have like 6) has either broken, or so so fuckin slow theyre unusable

The OTG cable connects the two devices so the screen can be mirrored correctly from the phone tot he tablet.

@gee @Mustard Dispenser

my search terms are failing me.... whats the right terminology for the female version of this 3 position PC connector

Loading…

edit: looking for one i can attach leads to (or already has leads). All im finding is surface mount

 

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

isnt that called a molex connector?

edit - no, its not

 

[Domon]

broadly its a pc (physical contact) lead connector

That's Keystone's own connector. Keystone part #'s 974 through 977 will mate with it.

those are all surface mount or through hole though (as theyre listed on the datasheet)

Solder your own loose wires on the TH connector.

Generically the female is socket or SKT. The half you showed is considered male. *I am not saying that is your desired part, it will get you on the road to it.

 

[gee]

Harwin M50 is 50 mil / 1.27mm, keystone connector is 2mm spacing. Won't fit.

im just gonna solder the motherfucker. im overcomplicating things as usual

I'm aware of what it is, I was just asking for some background - as there clearly is no wifi...
