What I want to be able to do is supply dc power to the tablet via the usb port to charge it while collecting data from the GPS dongle. I think it should be possible i just need to find a double adapter that has a male usb plug (either micro usb or standard usb) with 2 usb sockets wired in parallel. Does such a thing exist or am I going to have to make one?
I have tried a powered hub plugged in, but it does not charge the tablet.
thanks in advance
Mike
