If you Google “pixhawk external usb” you will find options.

I have never seen an I2C USB and I have looked.
This is the closest I have found on the subject and it plugs into the USB port on the Pixhawk or yo make up a USB cable to connect it tot he USB port direct.

The I2C connection on these boards is for the LED’s but it’s easy enough to connect a I2C splitter.

yes it’'s easy to do the I2C split but I have yet to see any form of USB that works on the I2C buss.

Ah, I may not have understood what he was asking. Thanks Ricky!

i have used that external USB module which also came with the built-in LED but i dint want the LED i was looking for something which just has the USB port and can be plugged in via I2C.

generally i want a external micro USB port for the setup which can be mounted at more approachable location the frame.

No, this won’t work. But you can extend the USB port by connecting to the USB connector. This is obvious yes?

If yor just after a USB port then have a look here.

Ihave used the USB port on a few builds. It’s easy to connect and mount.

I think they are out of stock every where.I am thinking of desoldering the USB port on the telemetry and make harness and use these port which are available from aliexpress and mount one of these of the outside of the frame.
