Everyone needs more USB ports, for mouse, keyboard, external USB drive, Joystick, and many more USB devices. One can never have enough USB ports :) Add some more USB capability to your Raspberry Pi Zero, Zero W, or Zero WH with this unique and cute USB hub! Designed especially for Raspberry Pi Zero series of board.
This is a 4-port USB hub for the Raspberry Pi Zero series of the board, and it stacks onto a Pi Zero like any other pHAT. It comes with a custom-made USB micro B PCB hook, to connect the OTG micro B USB port on Raspberry Pi Zero to this USB hub, nicely fit and it is secure than pogo pins, yet no soldering required! Better? It comes with a USB to UART (CP2102) function and is connected to Raspberry Pi's UART via the 40-pin GPIO socket, ready to debug your raspberry pi.
The USB hub will take power directly from your Pi Zero or from the onboard MicroB USB port (USB to UART), so you have a choice either to power your Rpi zero from the mainboard or USB hub. There are several LED indicators, for POWER, TX, RX and there is a dedicated LED for the USB transaction indicator.
