dosing device or a stirrer, can be connected.
You will find precise information concerning the pin assignment of the

Two USB connectors (Type A sockets) are available for connecting devices

USB hub (distributor). If you wish to connect more than two USB devices,

connected USB device into the system configuration (Device manager).
