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?
Greetings.
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...
