Title: echo show 5 usb
Post by: jvk of md on December 08, 2023, 11:12:28 am
Can I get a definitive answer on what this port is used for.  I've searched and found power only and I've seen usb or other type devices.  What is it for?

The echo show 5 (3rd gen) has no USB only the DC power port.

Sorry, but mine doesn't and didn't come with an usb cable either. ;)
Mine was received on 11/22/2023 which may indicate they changed the HW on the fly or for the special sail price.

So just a power port then.
