  Gadgetguy said  On a related note, can i use (after all is set up) a usb keyboard connected to the r36s via the usb otg port?


I believe so.

What I have explicitly tested is attaching the wireless dongle from my Logitech K270 keyboard to the R36S via OTG and the keyboard then works inside an MMB4L game.

What I have not tried to do is work out how to get the R36S to display an actual Linux terminal on its display (I always SSH), perhaps this is an exercise for the reader ?

tp-Link TL-WN725N
SSH access tested and working. I will try again later this week to work through your instructions.


Dare I ask how many WiFi adapters you went through before finding one that worked ? - the only one I had just worked so I have no idea of the extent of the issue.

Is the "adapter" between the WiFi USB-A and the R36S USB-C a specifically OTG adapter or just a "generic" A <-> C adapter ? ... some sources assert that OTG is meaningless wrt USB-C ... but that assertion may only be valid for USB-C <-> USB-C connections.

Best wishes,

Tom
