Noob here, having some trouble chaining my USB 3.0 hub to RPi 3 with a 2.0 hub (Noticed it was mentioned earlier). The hubs seem to chain together fine when hooked up to my PC but my sticks aren't detected when chaining with the Pi. Not sure what I am missing, maybe my 2.0 selection was poor?
I couldn't get my Anker's (I have 10 port models) to work with chaining at all. Ended up buying some of these
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ALLWDFW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 with the data cable connected to a 2.0 Superbgpag and the other to the Ankers for power.
Could you add a picture of that setup, please?
Just a thrown together desktop setup to tinker with when I need a break from work really. Actually working on it now, so it's slightly sloppier than normal, but not by much.
There are two Ankers here, neither send data, just power. Data cables all go to the Superbpag. The one in the front powers the two fans and I have one of the 2Pacs power-only cable running to charging power at the moment to test running all 7 at 300 (I have one plugged in to the charging only port on the back Anker as well). The Anker in the back has the other six power-only cables attached and is hanging by the cables so that the 2Pacs are slightly angled from tension on the cables - I did have to play around with which connections for which 2pac worked best.
RPi3 is connected only to the Superbpag (and HMDI, keyboard, mouse). Pi freezes occasionally with this setup and has to be restarted. I think it's an issue with power (or PSU) going in to the Pi, not the USBs, but I'm not sure as I haven't taken the time to look at that yet.
The wire mesh basket it's hanging over is just something I happened to have lying around unused that fit the bill. I originally tried to set this up with everything mounted upright using a Vans shoe box my son had. : ]
