hi,
I’ve been trying to use the DDJ-ERGO-V controller with an ipad air 2 (ios 11.4) without success. Software is djaypro by Algoriddim. I have also bought the DJC-WeCAi cable and a wall adapter (2 usb ports – one 1A and the other 2.4A – 5V voltage) and an Apple Lightning male - USB 2.0 Camera female (MD821) adapter.
When I connect everything the controller lights turn on but I get a message from the ipad. Something like: ‘’use of this device is not possible – PIONEER DDJ-ERGO: the connected device requires a lot of power.’’
Any suggestions please?

Sorry, the DDJ-ERGO is not designed as a device for use with the iPad. The WeCAi cable was made for the DDJ-WeGO and is not intended for the ERGO.
I would suggest you use the ERGO with a computer, or consider the WeGO1/2/3 models for use with djay on the iPad.
Thanks for the answer.however according to the official pioneer specifications the cable is suitable for the use with the iPad.please see here:https://www.pioneerdj.com/en/product/accessories/archive/djc-wecai/cable/specifications/
I stand corrected -- totally forgot that was compatible.
Are you using the RED connector with a USB power supply capable of 2A?
Oh, and I can't confirm if that unit will work with the lightning-to-30pin adapter.
thanks again.i am using the red usb connector with 2.4A usb power supply.Also as required for the connection of the djc-wecai cable I am using a lightning male to USB female apple adapter and not a lightning to 30pin adapter.Also I made sure that ddj ergo has the latest firmware 1.41.
Sorry, the ERGO was made prior to the Lightning devices, so I can't say for sure if it's even compatible.
What is the hardware and iOS version you're trying to use it with?
There are some youtube videos that show the exact same configuration I am using, for example:

The hardware and ios version are mentioned in my first post: ipad air 2 (ios 11.4)
