Hey all,
I'm using my iPad as a controller via usb on my PC (the app Lemur) but its an old Ipad 3 so it doesn't charge quickly enough.
Is there a way, like some splitter that makes it so It gets power from a wall socket but still transfer data via USB?
Thanks!!
iPad, iOS 9
Your iPad3 has a 30-pin dock connector. This iPad is not compatible with any available adapter for simultaneous charging from a USB Power Adapter while connected to a computer.
Most models of iPad require a Power Adapter rated at 10-12W to reliably charge. Your older iPad3 might scrape by with 5W.
Be aware that many computer USB ports cannot source sufficient power to charge an iPad. Unless explicitly designed for charging connected devices, computer USB ports are typically limited to 0.5-1A @5V (i.e., 2.5-5.0W).
Hmm okay, and it is normal that the charging via pc is not powerful enough when the screen is on? (When it is off it is fine)
