Cool Niaudio - Kobo nia with full USB capabilities

Welcome
I forgot to post this ;p

As in the title, with InkBox obviously:
https://github.com/Szybet/niAudio

It's a magnet attached custom PCB for the back of the kobo nia, which enables keyboard, mouse ( Yes ), audio to be used from InkBox.

This project is also designed to be attachable + stackable + modular so on top of the custom PCB. The best example for it is the keyboard attachment: https://github.com/Szybet/niAudio/tree/main/keyboard which converts the kobo nia into a modular laptop. There is also a video of it, it's the most documented things. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uz1CcqDgtQU )

I don't care enough to share videos of mouse working or the audio support in sanki, who cares?

I used it for a year already, the electronics didn't burn my Nia which is a huge success. But I wouldn't advise anyone to replicate this project. It needs a 2.0 version with many fixes to the design of the hardware and 3D prints.

The conclusion is that if anyone tries anything with USB OTG, I'm the expert in it. Don't waste your time, ask me instead... I wasted a year on it ;p

EDIT: Oh and the input devices are hot pluggable ( Do you know how hard was it to make it work so? )
