Nice project, Would love the test one !

I'd be interested in testing one.

Add me to the beta testers please. (Can I have one ?)

Hi @bms.had I've checked with Miguel and we have components enough to make one for you too! so in a few days your beta unit will be delivered ;)

Cool - thanks. 

Interesting device! Please send one to me. :-)

I just want to experiment with this!

Am I too late to have this neat device?

Nooo you're not late !! we will publish names 25th of December ! :)

Yes! USB is my new favorite topic.

I'd love to experiment with it.

Took me a long time to 'get' what these things are for... but I get it now! Not sure how much help I can offer to the project, except to throw in that the *worst* place to have to 'type' a password is on a stupid phone-screen... I'll definitely be wiring up a micro-USB adapter to mine if I get one. It gets a bit more difficult since my phone doesn't supply 5V out... maybe a button-cell or something.

Yeah it could be usefull to find a solution for phones which do not supply 5V on the output. If you supply 5V externally do you thing your phone will recognize Memtype as a keyboard ?

I was planning using one with a USB OTG adaptor to save my windows tablet and also my android phone; Ive had keyboards and flash drives running on both so hopefully the Memtype can run on them too.

@esot.eric what phone do you have buddy?

I have connected a keyboard a while back via handmade OTG adapter... I can't remember the details exactly, there was something about requiring an external 5V for the device. What I don't recall is whether the phone had to see that 5V or not (don't see why it would, though). As I *vaguely* remember, I went to some extra effort to figure out how to both connect a device (hard disk, keyboard) and *charge* the phone at the same time... Hopefully the phone doesn't need to see the 5V, otherwise we'd be draining the button-cell to recharge the phone ;)

@Craig Hissett It's a Samsung Victory, and I can dig out the adapter I made, run some tests, and find some links if you're curious. Though, I'dve figured there to be somewhat of a standard...

Alright, ran some experiments, and after determining I've a flakey connector (and fixing it good 'nough for testing), I think I've verified that:

The phone, again, does not output 5V.

The USB-OTG adapter I made (long ago, pinout found online) works with a keyboard (and mouse) IF I power the device from another supply and Do Not connect that 5V to the phone's USB port. (Only GND, D+, and D- are shared between the keyboard and the phone). If 5V is connected to the phone's USB port, it tries to charge.

Somewhere in that testing I got the message that a "High Power USB Device was detected... Could not..." (but couldn't read the rest of that message). So there's some plausibility that the phone looks at the current requirements of the device... But I can't see how that makes sense, since the phone's not actually powering the device, and both a keyboard and mouse (the only two devices I tested, this go-round) work fine once everything's wired right (and the flakey-connector is connected firmly). So, it's plausible, that "high power" message was the result of the flakey-connector being flakily-connected, maybe the 5V source wasn't getting to the device.

So, seems to me, a button-cell and a couple diodes might be all it would take to get the memtype working as a keyboard on this phone. The diodes could allow for versatility if the host has its own 5V output. Not sure how to go 'bout turning *off* the button-cell to save power while not in use... (wonder how much power could be retrieved from the D-/D+ lines before enumeration? Maybe charge a super-cap, then enumerate?)

Anyways, this could easily be added to the OTG-adapter, needn't be part of memtype.

That would be great, thanks matey - coming to think of it I do recall my old Samsung Galaxy not having OTG support and not working with peripherals. I agree; you would think that there would be a standard followed! I'm very interested in making devices such as the memtype compatible with phones. A cable with optional 5v power would be a great step towards a universal phone cable :)

Don't even need 5V for a lowly AVR ;)

I would love a memtype! I have been following this project for a while now, and have been amazed at how quickly it's taken shape. The final product looks unreal!

I would love to test this out. I have a range of passwords for both work and personal logins of all shapes and sizes. They are fairly simple in order to remember them, so a memtype would enable me to use far more secure passwords without the need to remember them :)

If I can I will help in any way I possibly can.

Thanks!

I would like to have one to test it.

I'd like to test one out.

I'd love one too. I currently use a yubikey to provide a token, but this would be better, as it doesn't need to have explicit support for it. :)

I think this is brilliant, i would love to get one!

Hello, I would absolutely love to test one out, its a device that I've always wanted.  I also have a lot of passwords and use a lot of different PCs in my day to day routine :)

Hi, I would also like to have one.  these can get quite handy.

Hi Look Right! That's great! let's see if some others ask for their beta memtype too :)

On December the 25th. we'll check the list and send the units!!

Make sure to check it twice!

Hi, just read about this project in Kicad showroom, and I am interested in one of this little things!
