This is Splittr: a custom-made USB-A splitter. It plugs into your laptop's USB-A port to split it 4 ways! My inspiration for this project was the fact that whenever I was working with my FRC team's robot, I could not directly interface with the control system with only 1 USB-A port on my laptop, so I made this splitter. The pcb and the case are completely my own original design. 

*Please refer to my Github repository for the pcb design.

 

Assembly Instructions

  • Put the pcb into the bottom half of the case and make sure it is secure.
  • Plug the pegs into the top of the case so that they stick out the flat side. (You may need to use pliers for this step.)
  • Plug the top half into the bottom half by aligning the ports on the bottom half with he pegs on the top half.
  • Make sure to flatten out any pegs left up after both halves are connected.

All Done!

 

I hope this design is useful to people who do not have access to computers with more ports, and helpful as a project or tool to people trying to learn engineering. I also hope you like my designs! :)
