PiAngle Kickstarter campaign launches

Idle Hands Development by McMaster student Sean Hodgins (@idlehandsdev) and Abdul Shehata has launched a Kickstarter project for PiAngle: a Raspberry Pi zero plug-n-play 4-port USB hub!

“So you just got your brand new Raspberry Pi Zero and now you want to have a keyboard, mouse, and maybe some Wifi, wouldn’t that be nice? The PiAngle safely powers the Pi zero and at the same time adds 4 USB Type A ports. All without any soldering to the Pi Zero board.

 

This unique design takes advantage of the Pi Zeros multiple USB B Micro connections. The USB OTG becomes a 4 Port USB Type A, while the power USB receives a solid 5V.”
