	Why do Android mobile devices support a USB-On-the-Go (OTG) connection between DriveWizard Mobile and the Yaskawa drive, but Apple iOS devices do not? Posted Date: 06/19/2022 Answer: Wired connections between DriveWizard Mobile and the Yaskawa AC drive require mobile devices support USB -OTG. Most Android mobile devices include USB-OTG, however Apple mobile devices do not; therefore, the only way Apple devices can communicate with Yaskawa drive is via Bluetooth, which requires the optional Bluetooth version of the keypad. Android mobile devices support both methods (cable connection and Bluetooth).
