multiple usb links to module

[merlinpi]

newby with Apex, got the ALD module and the grey display. both are usb connections.
my issue:
the apex base unit has 2 usb ports: one goes to the 832 and that leaves me with one other, how can i do? thanks for any help.

You can plug the ALD into one of the three EB832 AquaBus ports, and then you can also connect another module to the spair AquaBus port on the ALD... And so on...

You can connect the Apex and peripherals via Aquabus any way you want to suit your preferences and equipment installation. Except for very large systems, it really doesn't matter.

EnergyBars have 3, 4, or 6 Aquabus jacks (depending on the EB model) which are meant to be used as hubs.

not sure about aquabus (newby thing... and the ALD had only the USB cable) but I tried jonmos75 suggestion and it does apparently work all i need to do is keep crossing fingers and see if ALD would work on energybar 832.

Apex systems do not use USB for system interconnection. It may look like USB but it is not; it is called AquaBus.
