Disable charging for sampling iPhone / iPad via usb

OP-1 field
1

When sampling from my iPhone 15 Pro I’ve noticed that my Field is also taking a charge from the iPhone at the same time which is neat but also annoying as theres no way to disable reverse charging. So I thought I’d try sampling from an old iPad Air instead, which works but I’ve noticed that the iPad is now taking a small charge from the Field. On the iPad screen it says ‘not charging’ but it definitely is as its % charge is going up, albeit slowly.

Is there a way to disable charging on the Field?

Right, it does not disable the charging, TE says “currenly it is inteded only for usb ground loop isolation”

I too hope they give us more control.

You might send a feature request to TE support, more voices may motivate them to look into it, as long it is somewhat feasible to do with present hardware.
