Upload to 2 blinkytapes at once?

Good day all, just found my old micro USB splitter cable (2 micro plugs split off of one cable) and was wondering if it was possible that I could load patterns on to 2 blinkytapes at once?

I know it will charge or power two devices, but was just curious about this action.

Thanks!!

    Oh, neat cable! It should be able to power two BlinkyTapes. At most, it will only let you connect to one of the BlinkyTapes, though- unless the cable has a tiny built-in USB hub (possible but unlikely), the USB port on your computer can only talk to one USB connected device at a time. Often, these funky power cables only include the wires for power, and won't allow an actual connection to any devices.

    Ah well. I suspect you're right, it's only ever been used for charging and there's nothing on it that states "OTG" or anything.

    I'll find a way to do what I'm thinking, just not sure how it'll shake out just yet. :)
