Review on πŸ”Œ MakerFocus Raspberry Pi 4 Expansion Board Ethernet/USB HUB HAT 5V, with 1 RJ45 Ethernet Port (10/100M) and 3 USB Ports, Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4/3B+/3B/Zero/Zero W/Zero WH by Brian Foster

Works great when the right overlay is selected!

Plugged into my Pi and nothing, no light, no usb, no ethernet like there was no power. However, I ran lsusb and it showed up as a dwc-otg device. So I added "dtoverlay=dwc-otg" to the config.txt file and now everything is fine! I was able to plug the DVD drive into the USB port with no problems and it played music through the hifiberry hat I added above for the Pi Nile. It is now possible to play CDs through Pi-Zero using the DAC converter on my amp. Sounds a lot better than the standard Pi output, all in a small package that I can slip in my shirt pocket (well, except for the power supplies that I have to lug around). Well!
