USB accessory for GameShell

I made a tiny usb accessory so that GameShell can provide usb slot.

Still need 3d print case, maybe this weekend.

I bought the PCB and wires from taobao, this is the link:

I realize I’m late to the party, but this is a fantastic idea, and a awesome way to avoid the issues of USB-OTG!

i’m ordering those (or similar) parts this weekend. i think we can get it into the lego back. maybe a little modification to the side for USB. anyone know of a nice TINY hub that could maybe be added to give say 4x USB in an attached back panel which someone can 3d design for us to print?

I’m pretty sharp with a soldering iron, and have several hubs lying around. If a cheap usb hub with a little work will do the trick, I think we’re in business. As far as I am concerned, I don’t personally need outside access to the ports, I’m very interest in what this could mean for expandable storage.

yes I was thinking of just butchering something like that, but I’ll have to find sellers that actually ship to Canada first :slight_smile:
