Components

if you ever go with a USB 2.0 hub i'd buy you one :)

  Are you sure? yes | no

Any reason you opted for usb 1.1?

In case you'd like to do it with USB 2.0, you may get some inspiration from here: https://github.com/easy-phi/main/blob/master/Rack/Current%20Version/github/Kicad/Small%20Rack%205%20slots%20-%20Schematics.pdf

Mostly because TUSB2046B is easy to find and it also got some good documentation. USB 1.1 is good enough since i wont use the hub for any large data transfers. Looks interesting, will check it out!

  Are you sure? yes | no

Hey Andreas, Nice project!
Which component are you using for the USB hub? the CYC smth?

Cheers

  Are you sure? yes | no

Andreas Dahlberg wrote 03/31/2014 at 20:16 • point
Hi, thanks :) I am using TUSB2046B from Texas Instruments.

  Are you sure? yes | no

This could be a very useful hacking tool! I always need more USB ports and serial. Looking forward to seeing more details.

Also, what did you render the board in? It doesn't quite look like Altium.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Andreas Dahlberg wrote 03/31/2014 at 17:36 • point
I used NI Ultiboard for the PCB layout and rendering of the design.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Eric Evenchick wrote 03/31/2014 at 17:44 • point
Ah, haven't seen renderings from it before. Looks good! Also looking forward to seeing a schematic for this, assuming you intend to open-source it.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Andreas Dahlberg wrote 03/31/2014 at 20:20 • point
Thanks! I plan to upload the schematics soon, only got some minor things left to fix first.

  Are you sure? yes | no
