5.5. Scalability
If you wish to synchronise more devices, multiple U8S can be connected together (either in a
star topology or daisy chained) to allow up to 32 devices to be managed from a single host
computer simultaneously
In order to daisy-chain multiple U8S, each U8S needs to be connected to mains power
individually and the first U8S in the chain should be connected to the local computer through
the "host port". The host port of the next board in the daisy-chain is then connected to any of
the first U8S downstream USB ports. More boards are added in the same way.
Using this daisy-chain approach, a maximum of three additional boards can be linked, allowing
a total of 32 devices to be sync'd from a single host computer.
The green connections above are optional under normal circumstances when performing peer
control, monitoring and data transfer (syncing) and are only required if you wish to up-date the
firmware on all boards simultaneously.
