Title: Hub for pi and block eruptors Help Post by: gravitate on July 23, 2013, 06:56:31 AM Hi I have been reading a few threads but cant work out which is the best hub to buy? Does anyone have a link to one on ebay please? I have 12 block eruptors so would like to use at least 10 (might sell 2 depending on what hub I get).
I have a hub with 4 ports and I got 2 block eruptors running last night. I then plugged 10 into my ac power suplied 10 port hub and it kept spitting back errors all night. does this mean I have got the wrong hub? Also one more question please. Is there a maximum amount of eruptors you can connect to a raspberry pi? How do you do this? Do you just have one hub feeding many all with powerr suplies?

I have 12 USB Block Erupters connected to the Raspberry Pi, via 3 HUB's, each with a 5volt/3amp PSU. Your problem must be with the power supply of your HUB, as each USB Block Erupter requires half ampere. So, 10 USB Block Erupters would need a minimum of 5 amperes! And don't forget the HUB still needs energy for itself and also for the RPI... Title: Re: Hub for pi and block eruptors Help Post by: gravitate on July 23, 2013, 07:12:37 AM OK thank you! Where can I buy these gismoz on ebay? I am in France. Also which hubs did you use?

Title: Re: Hub for pi and block eruptors Help Post by: ct1aic on July 23, 2013, 07:16:00 PM Ok, USB Gizmos = USB Block Erupters ;D
My HUB's: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290900607972 (PSU 5Volts, 2,5Amp) and http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230976716952 (PSU 5Volts, 1,0Amp, don't use this PSU) My PSU's for the HUB's & RPI: Velleman PSS0530 - http://www.velleman.eu/products/view/?country=es&lang=en&id=376248 - 5Volts, 3,0Amp.

I am currently in search of a one that can support 10. Here is a list of ones that should work. I dont think you can use any 3.0 usb hubs. http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals#Powered_USB_Hubs http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f143/batt01/2013-07-22231834.jpg |
