Has noone ran any combo of pac boards and/or rgb driver boards on a powered usb hub?
Im in process of rewiring cab and at a standstill trying to figure this out. Andy has helped but mis-understood what i was trying to do and still waiting on a reply.
Basically i dont know if all my input/rgb driver boards need a dedicated usb port on the PC or if they will function fine connected to a powered USB hub that way i only have to have one usb cord going down to bottom of the cab where the pc is instead of 7?
1.... I-pac4
2... Utrak usb
3... PacLED64 #1
4... PacLED64#2 (both these powered by 5v 3a power adapter)
5... Mouse
6... Keyboard
7... Xbox wireless controller transciever dongle
I think Andy got confused because I mentioned using a "powered" usb hub.... I think he thought i was trying to power the 2 pacLED64 boards with the usb hub which is not the case. Im powering those with a dedicated 5v 3a power adapter.
I just mentioned it being a powered usb hub because some usb hubs are passive and not powered and can lack the necessary power requirements when alot of usb devices are connected. Powered hubs are just better and more reliable which is why i mention it.
My concern is reading that each of these ultimarc devices needs a seperate ID and Im not sure if running all these devices from a hub which connects to a single usb port on the PC would make unique ID naming of components an issue?
Or if there would be a data bandwidth issue have all these hooked up on a hub to a single port on the PC?
I figured lots of people would have ran 2 or more of these devices on a hub here
