Using a USB switch for an interruptible connection?
Situation: Device A is connected by USB to a USB switch. The switch is connected to Device B. A needs to send information to B, but only after a certain time. For example, A can NOT send information to B for the first 30 seconds, but MUST send information after the first 30 seconds.

No connections can be manually changed or removed.

We are trying to get a button or toggle in place so that A sends information when the state of the button or toggle is changed from false to true.

Any ideas of what to buy or what to jury-rig (and how) to make this possible?
