Clara HD USB OTG support on Clara HD — it works! - Page 2

Could this also work on the libra h2o? I'm having no luck with a standard OTG cable but it might just also need external power.

I believe NiLuJe already answered that question above, but you may need a "NiLuJe Translator":

(I see fennectech even got it working on Clara2e, so that's a concrete verification of support across platforms.Edit: across products, not platforms. SoloLite/Clara2e seems same family chipset as SLL/ClaraHD, for the sake of accuracy).Edit: Szybet also got Nia working -not clear what drivers.

The H2O is considerably older (Mk. 5), so maybe not without some significant work.

EDIT: Gah. Libra. Can we please stop releasing devices with stupidly confusing names, Amazon/Kobo?

Libra is Mk. 7, like the Clara HD, so, yeah, much better chance there.

Cool! I hacked together a separate powered OTG cable and it works perfect with koreader
