NS3 USB cable with iPad

Postby florence » 19 Dec 2019, 20:15

Hi

I ordered this USB B to lightning cable:
https://www.amazon.com/MOSWAG-Interconn ... 051&sr=8-4

And it works nice to connect my iPad with forScore to my NS3. Midi patch are sent for each song.

My only concern is that the iPad is not charging :thumbdown:

My question: why is it not charging, is it a cable issue? or the NS3 is not able to provide enough load...? Is another cable working?

A USB device (type B connector) like NS3 cannot charge, as it is supposed to receive power from the USB Host (computer, tablet, other, type A connector) it is connected to and that in the USB standard is the one supposed to provide power...

That’s why the official Apple Lightning-USB3 adapter has a separate port for charging + powering attached devices.

However a fully charged iPad can work for several hours, so not a big issue ;-)

Maybe use a lightning splitter.
