I was searching for something like this high and low last year. I don't remember what I needed it for, but that unsolved use case may now rest in peace.

Thank you. I just rediscovered your channel again and am going to need to watch your videos over again to attempt to pick up some knowledge working with the entire PI series. I spent 43 years as a developer on mainframes and PCs as well as, when necessary, a sometimes network hack. So, I am hoping this won’t be that difficult.

@randomwang6668 2 года назад

I have wanted this kind of wireless USB hub since I was developing a gaming device for consoles 4 years before. But at that time I didn't know too much about the raspberry pi and Linux stuff, the 2.4G and 5.8G chipset can't have this big bandwidth and compatibility for different kinds of devices. Now, this is it! Thanks for your sharing!

@whizbangery 2 года назад

Was looking for something exactly like this. Thanks for sharing this video. Was a quick setup and works well along with whatever you have running on the RPi.

@SickThought 2 года назад

Quick note: You don't need the virtualhere software for this, the functionality is built into the linux kernel already. All you need is the usbip software. Of course, this doesn't come with a GUI application in typical linux fashion, but the cli is pretty easy to use. And I can't say anything about how well it works with windows clients as I've only tried with linux clients, but it should be supported. The performance is actually measurably better for me (probably because it needs less context-switching or sth), and it doesn't come with the limitation of only being able to use one device at the same time (vs the trial license of virtualhere).

@NovaspiritTech 2 года назад

yup i also have a previous video about usbip

@ddlc7022 2 года назад

Do I need virtualhere on Mac ?

@DdZ-lv3jq Год назад

Does it also support displays connected through USB ? Or elaborate USB hubs (with ethernet, display and different usb types). The USB hub all outputs it through a single USB-C so from a hardware side it shouldn't be a problem but I can imagine the bandwidth sky rockets.

And here I am you indeed have the solution to my problem witch I think is common to most music content creators out there. imagine you have a mac m1 with USB c and you have a USB keyboard to connect to ableton or what ever. and your forced to have a USB c hub connected to the laptop at all times while working with the music keyboard. this clever thing that I cannot find it would make any MacBook content creator have the full wireless experience while working. thank you man , but I cannot do it . i rather pay for it.

@davocc2405 2 года назад

Dr Don - a while back you showed this rather epic little battery for the Zero that plugged neatly on the back; this could turn all sorts of devices into a sit-back-and-relax wireless config that's rechargeable, wonderful for living room configs potentially. Do you still have that battery backpack device?

@geneepak 2 года назад

Great video! would this work for a midi controller? Or would there be signal latency?

@GerinoMorn 10 месяцев назад

I consider trying it for wired usb headphones. I'm guessing any delay should be negligible (and sound being slightly delayed from video is less noticeable anyway). I'm just thinking of a power pack for this - of course a decent usb battery is the route, but I'm wondering if it's ok to put it just through PiZero or should I figure out some ultra small scale powered hub separate from pi zero?

@RpWhite 2 года назад

Using USBIP I was able to connect an OLD Qume QT-31 to a Linux box via help from your video. I have always wanted to do this, but never got 'around' to it, but once I saw your video I decided to try again. Had to play with it a bit, but it works fine. Also using a ZERO 2 W and it works fine with USB HAT (which I didn't need) but looked cool so I thought why not. So for less than 30 bux I have a wyse (like) serial terminal hooked up to my Linux box over WiFi via the Zero 2. Cool!

@povilasstaniulis9484 2 года назад

I've used USB over network before. This is only good for low-speed devices like printers, scanners, security dongles, cameras etc. Running something like a USB 3.0 flash drive over network isn't going to be fast due to additional overhead of the protocol (and the software). For those, you're better off just making a Samba share. Also, the software you're suggesting to use is trialware/payware. Can be easily patched though if you're short on funds. Linux has a USB/IP stack built into kernel and there are free solutions available which can work with it (none are as user friendly though).

Can this solution be used for video signals that would normally use a USB cable? Specifically I want to have a rear camera from a dash cam connected not via USB cable but wirelessly. The camera would have its own 5V power source (inside a horse trailer) but the footage would show on a screen in the car (the main dash cam screen or perhaps a standalone device like a phone or tablet). ???

Are you using it with windows? I got it running on the zero and it is working but my windows pc isn’t seeing the device.

@axelboice3346 3 месяца назад

Does the USB device connected to the RPi Zero show up in windows connection manager as the correct device or something else? For example if I plugged my Razer Tartarus Pro Gaming Keypad into the RPi Zero, will it show up as the Razer Tartarus Pro? Or will it show up as something else? I recently bought the Scientific Handheld BT-500 adapter to try to use it but it doesn't passthrough the original device info so I can't use Razer Synapse 3 at all when connected that way.

I have a small ECU that manages a pneumatics valve. This ECU has a USB plug and it plugs in a wired controller. I don’t think it has any complex software such as Windows or else. Would this allow me to get rid of that USB cable and have my controller operate wirelessly? What I mean, is this a standalone thing? Or does it need a supporting operating system?

@notsrynot Месяц назад

Would this work in such a way that when I connect to the device I’m looking to make “wireless” that it can be recognized by windows as a COM device. I ask because the program that will be interacting the device looks for the within the active COM devices
