Well, power-wise it's limited to a 5 unit load (100mW each) for USB 2.0. USB 3.0 can go to 900mW (150mW per load). This means you probably couldn't daisy-chai

Not infinite but still a compelling design.
- bugmenot 17y agoIt would be trivial to give the system its own power bus. Right now each piece has a male USB port and a female port. Just add a male power plug and a female power plug to each. The last one takes power from an external power supply. If needed to isolate the systems, make each piece a full fledged hub so everything isn't considered on the same circuit. Indeed the article mentions the creator already arranged for external power input, so he may already have thought of this or a comparable solution.
