Another quick question about lights

askyn · 03-08-2010, 06:38 PM

Hi again,

sorry for the multiple posts, but i keep thinking of questions.

Looking at the possible add on of lights etc, I had a question reguarding the USB port on the 360.

that is, if I found a good flexible LCD light that was USB compatible, would the 360 be able to power it when needed by plugging it into the usb port?

and if so, how do you think this would impact the battery life of the 360? if using a single bulb light

No, the 360° doesn't have USB-host, so it doesn't work. The 302 has that feature, but the light only works intermittently.

Thanks,

Wasnt sure I wanted to go that route anyway.

Part the reason for getting new reader would be longer batttery life between charges etc. hehe seams like some times when I want to sit down and start reading I have to plug it in to charge.

Why is it that the light only works sometimes with a 302? Is there a possible firmware fix for this?

Firmware fix? O.o

AFAIK, the lights we're talking about are lamps you clasp on the device.

At the 302 you have an USB-Host, so you can plugin a USBLamp and it will get power from the 302. Decreases the runtime.

No doesn't work, sorry. There will only be intermittent line. Not really that good for reading.

I was thinking along the lines that the problem had something to do with the power being supplied by the USB host. Maybe there's some firmware reason it's not a steady supply of power?

Anybody know where we can turn for information about the nature of this problem?
