I got an ACER W3 tablet. I bought it when I heard it ran windows so I could use it with the Sally robot. It runs windows 8.
Now, I bought a wide screen, self focusing Microsoft HD camera. The W3 is set on it's cameras and do not let me use the Microsoft Life-cam. I have tried to install the drivers, but it still uses the tablet's cameras. My camera operates of the USB ports.
If you have gotten any camera to operate off the usb port or even a wireless one, please give me some information on this. I would like for Sally to be able to track people and colors.
any ideas?
Thanks!
Can the USB port see anything else with the adapter like a thumbdrive? If not, you have the wrong adapter. If it can see anything then it is the right adapter.

The electronics was not hard, it was just I had a hard time getting to everything.
Look forward to Sunday. Still have not installed new program. It gets to where it is almost finished and it tries to remove the old program and it can't.
I have had similar issues with programs at work and alway manage to get to the bottom of it.

Thank You!

On the W3. It has only one usb port and I am taking to a hub then to the camera. I have to plug it into a hub because it is a male usb standard size on the other end.
so, I have a small usb coming out to a large usb standard plug. I plug other stuff into the hub and it works. But the cameras on the table are taking over the usb camera.
Re: Camera. You have the right cable since the hub works. Is the hub powered? The camera might require more power than an unpowerwd hub can provide. Does the camera work on other computers? Have you upgraded your W3 to Windows 10 yet? I have misplaced my Logitech USB camera, so I can't test to see if this is something unique about the w3.

I know Alan can help you through this. We'er lucky to have him on this forum and to be so willing to lend his expert help in such a personal way. Good "and" knowledgeable people like him are hard to find these days. When I grow up I want to be just like him.

I think I have a spare OTG. I'll mail it to you if I do. I'll follow up with email if I need your mailing address (I should still have it).

God Bless you, Alan!
I finally got around to getting to the post office to get this out to you. You should have it in a couple of days.
Let me know how it works out.
