uhubctl - USB hub per-port power control

Project mention: I2c-USB-hub: An i2C Controllable USB 2.0 Hub | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-11

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.

Project mention: Is it possible to build an SDR only using parts available at JLCPCB? | /r/sdr | 2023-07-06

As far as assembling an SDR from discrete parts, you can check out the MCHF kit or Asher Farhan's sbitx. Great radios, but nothing like the value prop of the RTL-SDR. If you're just looking for a cheap radio to listen with, I'd recommend Airspy.
