Powered USB Hub Help PC Interface
Posted by dapj20 on Jul 13, 2015 in Schoodles
I got a strange problem as i added more and more peripherals, the pc gave odd messages, "i cannot detect what you are doing" and things like that. I almost flipped trying to locate the culprit. The problem was not in any peripheral but in the USB port powering the system itself. The SMPS was not loading much. Certainly the peripherals were drawing more and the warning could have been more like "use your own power". Computer Data Interface
When power fails, i keep working and listening to music from a Flash Thumb drive. When music stops, i turn of computer, the lead acid batteries gone below 20 V DC. This avoids deep discharge of my batteries. The Powered USB gets undetected when the supply falls below 4.5 probably.
