Re: Powering your USB Hub at Competition
I thought teams were being encouraged to plug the Cypress directly into one USB hub, and plugging the joysticks and gamepads into the other. As for how this may cause comms issues, since the Cypress device has to be reprogrammed each time it is enumerated. Perhaps power dropouts cause this to happen repeatedly.
