OTG HID Functions

Overview

  • OTG module functions mainly simulate a network adapter, keyboard, and mouse. Once connected, you can use wired networking, a mouse, and a keyboard at the same time
  • The OTG module uses the otgEvent prefix
  • For OTG HID hardware configuration, see OTG HID Usage Guide

otgEvent.isConnected Check OTG Connection

  • Check whether OTG is connected
  • Requires EC standalone 6.6.0+
  • @returns {boolean} true if connected, false if not connected
