Installing other USB ports - mido2018 - 07-17-2018
Hi,
I have the pine64+ board. It has two USB ports. I need to install an extra one or two USB ports. What is the best way to do that? Is it possible to install a USB port on any of the GPIO pins?

depending on what you need the usb ports for you might find using a powered usb hub as a solution.

my guess would be that 3 usb wifi modules would be a challenge. i have no experience with a project like that so i can offer no suggestions. but, good luck. let us know how it goes.
