charging port peripherals battery display
why?
•devices drew too much power ! •devices weren’t getting enough
power ! •bad USB cables / peripherals ! •bad software ! •bad device

v2 - stupid USB hubs
v3 - better USB hubs
Cambrionix hub
Cambrionix hub • 32 ports • smart power delegation •
fault indicator • disables problem devices
