It adds 4 more USB 3.1 ports to Raspberry Pi 4B, and the power on each port can be turned ON or OFF separately via software.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEGA4 has the same board size as Raspberry Pi 4B, and can be mounted underneath. The U-shaped adapter (included) can make data and power connection between MEGA4 and Raspberry Pi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEGA4 is also a powered hub and you can connect 5V power supply to its USB type C connector and significantly increase its current output ability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can turn on\/off the power on each USB port via the software or via UUGear Web Interface (UWI) on PC, Tablet or Smartphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough MEGA4 is designed for Raspberry Pi 4B, you can use it as a USB 3.1 hub on other computers. You may want to use a USB3.1 extension cable for the connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSOFTWARE INSTALLATION\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo install MEGA4’s software, please run this command in your home directory:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccode\u003epi@raspberrypi ~ $ wget https:\/\/www.uugear.com\/repo\/MEGA4\/install.sh\u003c\/code\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your Raspberry Pi has internet connection, it will immediately download the script from our website, and you will then see the “install.sh” script in your home directory.
