Guest groggycl Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 The question is sympli and maybe kind of stupid, but i wanna be sure before actually doing it. Can i use the camera usb port, put a 4 ports usb hub and the conect the camera into one of the ports, and use the other 3 for maybe a blutooth, a flash pen drive and one for other future projecs? Is that possible? because there aer so many guides going arround showing the usb available on the board, but i'm not so confident on my soldering skill, so i prefers using the camera usb, the i thought, the camera is just 1,3 mg pixl, it does not matter losing it, but then i realized i can connect it to the hub itself.. So, easy, is that possible?
Guest Sadist Posted March 23, 2008 Report Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) yes, but I had problems which I believe are due to the voltage from the web cam connector being sufficient only for a few devices. I couldn't run touchscreen and other devices without detection problems. Im sticking with my working Touchscreen untill I can be bothered to open her up again. The solution is to use a 5v and ground off of the mobo and use the dc+ and dc- from the cam port, although this of course will necessitate some soldering iron action!
