Connect your Dino-Lite Digital Microscope to Android smartphones with the free DinoDirect App and OTG cable.
DinoDirect brings live image streaming to your Android phone, with the possibility to capture images and videos using a cable connection and no computer.

Until now the WF-10 WiFi module was used to create a portable Dino-Lite digital microscope system with a live image streamed to your Apple or Android device. Now DinoDirect brings live image streaming to your Android phone, with the possibility to capture images and videos. For details of the Dino-Lite range of digital microscopes read our Guide to Dino-Lite Digital Microscopes.

The new DinoDirect App finally allows a direct connection with Android devices that come with Qualcomm chipsets or higher (without the use of the WF-10). Your Dino-Lite USB microscope can now connect directly to your Android device with the simple use of an OTG (On-The-Go) cable.

The following devices have been tested with success:

-Samsung Galaxy S6,S7,S8
-Samsung Note 8
-Samsung A5

DinoDirect requires at least Android version 4.3 (Jelly Bean), but it is recommend to use only with newer versions. There is a wide variety of Android devices on the market and Dino-Lite hasn’t yet tested them all. You can check the compatibility chart and read about devices that have been tested positively at https://www.dino-lite.eu/index.php/en/dinodirect

The OTG cables must be purchased separately, and will be available from PeplerOptics in the near future. In the meantime you can probably find them locally.

There are 2 versions:

OTG-C: USB to USB-C male
OTG-20CM: USB to micro USB

The DinoDirect App can be downloaded free of charge in the Google Play Store.
