Hello all ok so I am having to look for an appropriate power adapter I tell you what I have.

A Rapsberry pi 2

2 R-box rockminers and power adapter's

and this usb hub http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-Port-USB-Hub-2-0-Powered-Via-USB-By-System-Bus-for-Laptop-Computer-PC-Desktop-/111642310359?hash=item19fe6676d7:g:NAIAAOSweW5VJlB7 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-Port-USB-Hub-2-0-Powered-Via-USB-By-System-Bus-for-Laptop-Computer-PC-Desktop-/111642310359?hash=item19fe6676d7:g:NAIAAOSweW5VJlB7)

I want to run a usb cable from the Hub to the pie and power pi from the hub and I don't want to use the basic power adapter that comes with the hub

I don't want to fry the Pi so what is the best power adapter to go for that will connect to the Hub what is the correct voltage and amperage

Hope some one can help

Sam

lot of us using rpis and hubs for our compac usb miners but Im in the US and the one I use (superbpag) is not for sale in the UK. but other hubs in that thread might be UK rated.

the mining gear is not yours but these threads have hub info and rasp pi info scattered in them.

Rasp pi are tricky need the right hubs for a power source and to run.

RPI's like usb 2.0 hubs for most part.  If it's for a raspberry PI I would ask before spending good money if someone had good luck, or look some sites tell  compatible ones.  But power is a big thing on how much a hub put's out.

I have one of those cheap hubs mentioned in first post they are about as cheap quality as there is.  Only really good if you plan on modding it.  Your better off getting one with better power and better quality.

I just got a couple more of these, to modify. Believe it or not, they have gotten "CHEAPER" with them and started leaving resistors/capacitors or something (?) else out of them, lot's of open pads with stuff missing! Still trying to decide if I should waste the time modifying them or just trash them....

To sam1987, I would see if you can get the Pluggable 60 watt 7 port 2.0 hub in the UK. Should be enough power to run 3 sticks and the Pi.

EDIT: jumped from the club pool page, so see sam1987 doesn't need the power for sticks, so you can probably get away with 1 of the lower power Pluggable 2.0 hubs.

Interesting I would have not guessed they would get even cheaper.   Past they were ok for modders.  But it's  much easier to get a decent quality usb hub that is already set up for proper power.

If they got even cheaper  going for decent quality is really only choice.

Thanks for all your help guys.

nice I knew someone would have the link for you.
