Single cable solution also works on the Pi zero (2), just use the USB-OTG port on the Pi. Yes you need a different cable (USB-C to µUSB). I use this setup for my sensors to get some enviromental data (temperature, humidity, air flow, etc).

Thank you, this is the video I was waiting for!!

I was, for awhile trying to use my phone with Andronix and Termux. Now that I have a SteamDeck, the Linux desktop there is vastly superior and cleaner than anything I've installed in the past. I have a portable LED panel, portable accessories and I'm golden. Portable gaming or 1080p gaming and a desktop if I absolutely need one (which I rarely do when I travel anyway)

Could you make a setup guide for the pi with an android tablet? Thanks in advance! :)

Does the Apple's USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter work aiming to be able to connect the ipad to a monitor via the HDMI port, powering the ipad via the usb c and connecting to the pie via usb a (ethernet)?

If I go with the USB-C hub option, will the standard iPad Pro charging cable and a 30w Apple USB-C charger be enough to both power the RB Pi 4 (8GB) and charge the iPad Pro at the same time or do I need a more powerful USB-C charger and cable?

Hey,
Are you going to revise this video for the Pi5 anytime soon?

Thank you so much for your guide. This works so far on my Samsung galaxy tab s6 lite, and the power from the raspberry pi is enough to keep it charging. I don't know much about these kind of technical things, but do you think it is safe to go into developer settings and enabling USB tethering under default USB configuration so you don't have to re-enable tethering every time you reboot the raspberry pi?

Tried using your config with my Raspberry Pi 5 but I can't seem to get it to work. The ethernet connection wouldn't show up on my 2018 ipad pro. Only attempted to edit the config and cmdline files, since your RPi images are for the RPi4. Would you plan to ever upgrade your setup to use the RPi5 instead of the 4?

I found this 6-to-1 usb-c adapter for iPad Pro that has HDMI, 3.5mm headphone, USB-C PD and Data (yes, separate usb C ports!) and a couple of USB-A 3.0 ports. Perhaps it can provide similar set up without the expensive Apple keyboard case?

Also, if I set up my Pi4B as OTG.. would it prevent Pi4 to use anything on its USB slots? I am thinking about this because this Pi4B will be controlling some lab apparatus with GPIB-to-USB interface. So, Pi4 needs to be a host for this lab machine yet, also needs to be a slave for iPad.

Just to double check, the ipad and PI still connect via wifi as opposed to data tethered through the cable? The cable just provides power to the pi?

I’ve been following your videos and they’ve been great! Thank you! I’m using a 12.9 inch M1 iPad with magic keyboard and connecting the Raspberry Pi 4 over USB C. Everything’s working great, except I’m not able to easily share internet from my iPad to my Pi. If I’m at home, I can easily connect both my iPad and Pi to the same WiFi network. If I’m on the road, I have been sharing my iPad’s cellular connection via personal hotspot and connecting the Pi to the iPad’s WiFi network. This gets me internet. I’ve been editing the /etc/netplan files to do this. But if I’m on a plane, I connect my iPad to the plane’s WiFi and there’s no cellular network available. The iPad won’t let me create a personal hotspot when I’m only connected to WiFi. Is it possible to share internet over the same USB C cable that is powering the Pi and that I’m using to ssh into the Pi over ethernet?

I have been struggling with getting my any of my RPi's (4B w/2GB, 4B w/4GB, 4B w/8GB and finally a CM4 w/4GB in a Waveshare board) to work with my new iPad Pro 2022 11inch w/the Apple M2 processor. I can find nothing wrong with the RPi setup in that it works perfectly with both my Apple Macbook Air w/M1 processor and my Dell XPS 13 w/Ubuntu 22.04. When I use an JXMOX USBC to USBC cable from Amazon the RPis power on and suppies a DHCP address to the iPad Pro/Air/XPS. Only the Air and XPS can ssh/ping the address of the RPi. Both blink and prompt on the iPad Pro fail. I thought that it might be the cable in that the cable listed was a Thunderbot/USBC cable so I first tried an Apple Thunderbot cable (because one was available locally) and when that failed I ordered the exact Anker cable from Amazon. In both cases the RPi did not even powerup. Can anyone help? Do I have a defective iPad Pro or is the USBC interface (HW/SW) on this newest iPad Pro different. I wish I had access to an older iPad Pro w/USBC to test.

Great setup! Did you try power both an iPad and a rpi at the same time through USB-C HUB? What wattage do you use to power rpi through USB-C HUB?

Yeah I've had a littany of issues with Android devices seeming to get "confused" as to which is the host - I don't remember it on older devices so I can only assumes its a bug in a one of the newest versions of the Android OS as it seems to occur on any of my devices

I am using 2022 IPad Pro with a Pi5, set-up the Ethernet connection, the iPad to hub to pi5 (via usb C to usb A) is working. However i would really want to set-up the Ethernet connection via usb-c to usb-c to down-weight the set-up i need to bring out. I have tested out 2 usb-c cables (one from apple, and one from other suppliers, still not working), do you think there is some requirements on the usb-c to usb-c cables that will affect the result?

I wanted to set up a setup to use the ipad as a vnc client, but with a mouse and keyboard connected directly to the Raspberry Pi, is it possible?

Hi, great video! I have a Pi 4 (v1.1) connected using USB-C to an M1 iPad Pro 12.9”. It works well but whenever the iPad goes into sleep, the Ethernet connection to the Pi dies and the IP disappears from settings. I tried switching to static IPs but it didn’t help. Is this behavior expected or is it possible that my USB-C cable is at fault (especially since my board is pre-v1.2)?

We should have a video about Kitty terminal install / setup / configuration
