Wondering what best method is to get more than 6 VE direct connections to the Cerbo (presently 3 VE direct, 3 USB/VEdirect). Looks like I need 8 VE direct connections now. Can I just use a USB Hub and connect an additional three USB/VE-direct connections to the other five this way???
You can use a USB hub to connect more VE.Direct-USB dongles.
Cerbo can accomodate 15 or so VE.Direct devices as set out in thew comparison table:

Use a good USB hub though, one with a chipset from a reputable manufacturer. There are some rubbish USB hub chipsets around or poorly constructed USB hubs. These ones cause endless random issues.
Any links to suitable known working USB hub models? Minimum 5 ports
