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: [USB Hub PCB](https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.0.0.4c8f2e8dy9DuHk&id=562500308765&_u=p4s1ugq4225) [Wires](https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.0.0.4c8f2e8dy9DuHk&id=561223966721&_u=p4s1ugq21b2) Some pictures: ![WechatIMG1](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/1/1d172776ca4c6a7a4ec17633041ed27f68cd4410.jpeg) ![WechatIMG2](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/d/d49f0aaf9f17c07fa5e7f61d1fce49a767118148.jpeg) ![WechatIMG3](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/c/cb69de9d6195911f814a26fc2b2473e4e53a8c96.jpeg) ![WechatIMG5](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/4/4df00654c87fde006c2e69c4446e4b91e1bcfa44.jpeg) ![WX20190225-223718%402x](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/7/724a99786d1a8d3339913f15267bf2105b3526c6.png) ![WX20190225-223742%402x](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/9/9f3d4db477df1e6db44a865df2938cb7f4d52fac.png) A test video: [GameShell with usb hub](https://youtu.be/yTqEfe0Z9u4) ---

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 🙂
