Simply mount the USB Docking Hub under the Pi Zero using the bundled spacers, screws, bolts, and your Pi Zero will get 5 extra USB 2.0 ports and two more peripherals! The USB Docking Hub has been carefully designed with four custom-made pogo pins, and the four supporting poles have been elongated to further increase the headroom between the Pi Zero board and the USB hub board. Qualified design against the latest Raspbian OS.
a micro USB port for power input up to 2.3A consumption.a 3.5mm audio jack, supporting both recording and playback.an RJ45 Ethernet port with Realtek RTL8152B 10/100M chip.an independent protection circuit to limit total current to 2.3A.5 x electrolytic capacitors to filter electrical noise and stabilize voltage.We have received many requests for supporting more USB ports, especially when you are dealing with fat USB dongles which may block and waste the adjacent ports. Since then, we have shipped over ten thousand units of Pi Zero Hub HAT around the world. It has been extremely popular with our customers and the Pi community. We launched the first 4-Port stackable USB Hub HAT for Raspberry Pi Zero with the pogo pin approach back in March 2016. Just snap your Pi Zero onto the top of the docking hub station, the four pogo pins on the hub station will connect to the signal pads on your Pi. The video below is from the review by RasPi.The Pi Zero USB Docking Hub is a stackable USB Hub that comes with 5 x USB 2.0 data and charging ports, a micro USB port for power input, an RJ45 port for Ethernet, and a 3.5mm audio input/output jack. Maximum Output Current: 2A for all ports in self-power mode, 500mA for all ports in bus-power mode Weight: 14 g (net weight without any accessory) You can either comment out the “dtoverlay=dwc2” in /boot/config.txt, or plug an OTG adapter to the data micro USB port on Raspberry Pi Zero.
Remarks: if you ever enabled Ethernet Gadget on your Raspberry Pi Zero, you will need to disable it to use Zero4U. If you use this USB hub with other types of computer, you can use a USB cable (not included) to connect the mini-USB port on board to the up-stream USB port. The Pi Zero USB Docking Hub is a stackable USB Hub that comes with 5 x USB 2.0 data and charging ports, a micro USB port for power input, an RJ45 port for Ethernet, and a 3.5mm audio input/output. The blue LED on board works the power indicator, and will lights up when power is connected.Įach USB port has a dedicated white LED as transaction indicator, and a dedicated electrolytic capacitor to help stabilizing the output voltage.
However you can use the JST XH2.54 connector on board as the alternative power input port. The USB hub will take power directly from your Raspberry Pi Zero, so you don’t need to power the USB hub separately. The 4 pogo pins on the back will connect the PP1, PP6, PP22 and PP23 testing pads on Raspberry Pi Zero, hence no soldering will be needed. After mounting this USB hub to your Raspberry Pi Zero, it immediately has 4 USB ports that could transfer data in USB 2.0 high-speed. This is a 4-port USB hub for Raspberry Pi Zero, and it can be mounted to Raspberry Pi Zero back-to-back. This version of Zero4U works with Raspberry Pi Zero V1.3 (with camera connector) and Raspberry Pi Zero W (with the help from a ferrite ring, details here).
