I'm pretty sure many devices support charging and using USB-OTG at the
same time. You can buy a Y cable that has a male micro plug, a female
micro plug for hooking up the charge, and then the female USB-B plug for
attaching a USB device.  Guess it must depend on the device.  I have a Y
cable ordered; I'll see if it works with my particular tablet. I really
hope it does because in my particular case (nothing to do with
MachineKit at all), a little USB hub plugged into OTG is really what I need.
