  • I2c-USB-hub: An i2C Controllable USB 2.0 Hub
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 11 Sep 2023
    In my experience this support was rare. I had an issue a few years ago with multiple USB 3 cameras (Intel Realsense) on a mobile robot that would periodically freeze up and need to be hard-reset, and a power-controllable hub seemed like the least-bad way to hack around it. I found my way to this tool, with its convenient list of compatible hardware:

    https://github.com/mvp/uhubctl

    Of the USB 3 options on the list, several were EOL or impossible to find, and when I ordered one each of the remainder, there was only one I could get working, and it wasn't reliable about being able to reset a device that had frozen to the point where Linux no longer had sysfs entries for it.

    We ended up instead using a hub with an internal jumper to disable bus power, and then putting the self power line through a separately-controllable relay.

    Best you can tweak is to disable the WiFi / Bluetooth and possibly the USB ports (edit - USB look no go https://github.com/mvp/uhubctl)

    There's an extremely useful feature called USB Per-Port Power Switching, that's somewhat rare because nobody knows about it. If you use a Unix-family operating system, then here's a C driver. Windows doesn't currently have this feature, but could add it in the future -- let's hope they do!

    https://github.com/codazoda/hub-ctrl.c or https://github.com/mvp/uhubctl can be used if the hubs have "Per-port power switching". The second link also has a long description.

    If you were using a USB-powered drive and Linux/Mac/Unix, you could use uhubctl with one of the (uncommon) hubs that support Per-Port Power Switching (PPPS).

    Actually some of the Pi boards USB ports can be controlled by Uhubctl but you have to note the restrictions on the board you are using - mainly how many you effect and the "minor" fact of the USB also controls the Ethernet and WiFi power on some boards!

    I've also used Qlab on both ends to trigger USB led flashes via OSC using uhubctl. You'll need a usb hub for that.
