UHK 80: Allow for wired connection from left half

[bat09]

Are there plans to allow for wired connection functionality when connecting to the left half instead of the right?

Sorry if this has been asked before.

Do you mean for the left-half to be completely independent, or do you wish for the option to swap which side’s USB sends data to the host? If I’m not mistaken, the right half is the “brain”, and will always need to process the left-half; so an independent left-half is not likely.

Anyway, it’s definitely been discussed a few times, but I doubt it will be implemented any time soon.

Here’s the last time I remember it being mentioned:

UHK80 Left Half Lag/Freezes

Knowing the firmware code, I wouldn’t expect a true “left half is the master” implementation in any forseeable future. Of course, routing reports from right half to left half isn’t that difficult, but there it is a question why would anyone want to do that - double the latency, half the reliability… …the only reason that comes to mind is one more usb host connection, so it would be possible to switch between two usb-connected computers just from uhk.

I mean left half as the master. Thanks for the reply and link, that answers my question.
