Is the USB connection only for power or data?

Post by TonyMM »

Does the TrackClipPro needs USB for Power only or does the ClipPro needs to be connected to the PC for some kind of data communication?

I suppose only for powering the LED lights but not 100% sure.

For me important as powering the device only is easier with a shorter cable or a battery pack under the seat as compared to connect to my PC which is far away ....

most likely, given that there are never any drivers installed and i can use a usb wall charger, the clip is drawing +5 volts off the usb power rail.

Having a shorter wire or a battery pack under the seat makes it easier for me to power the gadget than connecting it to my PC, which is a long distance away. word wipe
