Lenovo Miix internal USB port for 3G
We did it. Today i was testing around with my friend Ronny where we can get a source to power usb devices on my Lenovo Miix 2. There are various sources around for 3.3VDC. The hurdle was to find a 5VDC source for the USB port. There is no available so far, but the 3.3 Volts are enough to power the most devices made for usb. We tried to connect a 3G USB stick and it was recognized by the lenovo. The pain was it was disconnecting several times when we want to start the connection. There are 2 explanations for this:
1. The source voltage is too low
2. The stick is bad supported
After we treid around different usb devices and we figured out that they seem to work properly. Usb memory, usb wifi stick, usb dvb tv stick and so on.
Tomorrow i will do a video of the stuff to proof the concept. Stay tuned for it.
Further i installed 2 wires for inductive charging the Lenovo. You can see it on the left side the red and black wires. Tomorrow i will order the parts to get this done.
