Pandora as a USB controller?

[ryan27968]

Good point.

Something that can be done is it can interface with an Arduino Leonardo using the Leonardo as a hid bus bit it would defeat the object to have to carry around other objects to use it.

I still don't see the need for any additional hardware.

the pandora can, and does act as a USB slave device. It has a USB otg (host/slave) port.

Surely its a case of getting someone with the right knowledge and time to fiddle with this stuff?

As Binky says this is extremely convoluted. The Pandora has mostly open hardware and software, there should be a way to do it without adding anything extra.

Maybe you could ask Liboicl: http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php/topic/5637-is-the-pandora-capable-of-emulating-a-usb-hid-device/

I've posted the g_hid module code and binaries
