minus-squarefelixrostrum@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoWhat’s the purpose of this dongle??
minus-squarejet@hackertalks.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-210 months agoIt’s a digital to analog audio convertor for USB it looks like. If it also does analog to digital this might make sense as a way to verify sound output. I.e. debug a program that uses the headphone jack, or workaround software loopback device limitations.
minus-squareCameronDev@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoGiven the white body, it could be a USB cable for one of the early iPod shuffles?
minus-squareKairos@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoIt is exactly that. Really simple cable too. All of the apple 3.5mms are 4 pole (I think for play/pause, track seek capability) so it’s just a USB connector in a different form factor.
minus-squareCameronDev@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-210 months agoIt isnt Left/Right/Ground/Mic? Ill dont know how the skip/pause stuff is done, will do some more research Edit: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/posts/38492/revisions Signalling done on mic wire.
