Hi all,
I'm in the process of ordering computers, and had a question about USB power to Bpod. My lab has had a problem in the past with USB providing insufficient power to Bpod.
It looks from Device Manager that a working Bpod draws 500mA from a USB2.0 port. From what I understand, that is in spec for any USB2.0 port, and that the ability to draw five unit loads (vs. one 100mA load) is determined by the device itself, not the computer's USB port.
Am I understanding this correctly? Is there anything I need to look out for in the new computers?
Thanks!
