Apr 30 06:49:43 <tuyp200> DrJ: just out of curiosity, have you done anything extra (like add resistors) to the USB-ports of your Pi? Nice project BTW.
Apr 30 13:37:36 <DrJ> tuyp200: I've only had the raspberry pi for a couple weeks
Apr 30 13:37:42 <DrJ> have not done much at all with it yet
Apr 30 13:38:55 <DrJ> besides the streaming audio setup
Apr 30 14:32:19 <tuyp200> ok, we had problems at work with a 3G USB stick so I'm alway curious about other USB devices.
Apr 30 14:56:12 <DrJ> with the raspberry pi?
Apr 30 14:56:31 <DrJ> I'm using two USB devices with it without issue
Apr 30 14:56:33 <DrJ> a USB sound card
Apr 30 14:56:38 <DrJ> and a USB to serial adapter
Apr 30 14:56:45 <tuyp200> yes, it's a known issue
Apr 30 14:58:14 <DrJ> I have read about how some USB devices may not work the best or even crash the raspberry pi if they require power
Apr 30 14:58:51 <DrJ> of course the solution to that is a powered USB hub
Apr 30 14:58:52 <tuyp200> Yep, here's the thread about the issues: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=5830
Apr 30 14:59:31 <tuyp200> we put resistors over the polyfuses. did the trick.
Apr 30 15:00:07 <DrJ> I'm not the best with hardware stuff ... so I would just go the powered USB hub path
Apr 30 15:00:57 <DrJ> what do you use the pi for then?
Apr 30 15:01:55 <tuyp200> wireless information display.
Apr 30 15:02:22 <DrJ> cool
