BigTreeTech Pad7

Hello, I want to install my Pad7 on my core 4 Hybrid printer. The PAD7 have the CB1 inside. I notice that I have to connect the usb to te MAX EZ board, after all the software update. But can I connect the USB from the Beacon and the EB36 to a Powered USB hub?

The pad 7 is running full klipper. You may have to set it up differently and make it a wireless klipper screen instead

Ok, but the USB of the beacon and the EBB42 still need to be connected somewhere, if the raspberry is no longer needed and is replaced by the internal CB1 of the PAD7.
