I would like to connect my usb keyboard and mouse to my pine 2gb using usb hub I am currently using Remix OS 2.0 .
When i connect directly the usb keyboard and mouse to pine it works absolutely fine.
But problem as pine have only two usb port when i have connected usb keyboard and mouse i would also like to connect my external hdd and usb pendrive.
so i tried to use 4 port usb hub but it was not able detect or not working the usb keyborad and mouse
I like to knew its this problem with Remix OS or o/p usb power is not sufficient to use hub.
As was stated by Luke and in forum post http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=783 , You only get .5A from the board via the USB2 plug in's. If all you have plugged into the hub are the KB and Mouse, you are prob safe for that voltage and if they won't read try unplugging the KB and Mouse and just plug in the pendrive. If the hub works then it will atleast see the pendrive and should say there is a device connected. If nothing happens the hub may be bad or may not be seen by the OS. In which case you will need a different hub.
You will prob be safe plugging in the pendrive, KB and Mouse at the same time. Probably.
Plugging in the HD and trying to run it off the board just won't work. No way, shape or form without extra power. Some external HDD's have extra power connectors or a cable with extra connector for additional power. The other option is to get a powered USB Hub. Make sure though that it gives enough power. I've seen some hubs recently that only give 1A or 1.5A and might not work. Just know that most external HDD's require 1A to 2A of power and less can ruin the HDD and board. Your external HDD should say how much it requires in it's documentation.
Hope this helps you.
