How much current is needed for these 3 devices.
As far as I am informed single USB port can provide 0.5Amps.
If I need more than that for all 3 than I have to find a hub with external power source and that would add one more cable on the cockpit.
So I would end up with 2 instead of 3 cables.
Just to clarify my worries. Currently, on my cockpit there are:
- 3 DVI cables for monitors (Eyefinity)
- 3 power cables for monitors
- USB cable for G25 + interconnection for shifter
- USB Leo Bodnar adapter for pedals
- power supply for G25
- USB for webcam
- USB for keyboard
- USB for mouse
- audio cable for headphones
Maybe I should get 7-ports, powerd USB hub and stick my keyb, mouse, camera and simprojects stuff in it. Now, that would be an improvement.
I hope that wont cause difficulties for your devices?
