hi, I should connect 4 Arduinos to the PC, motors, LEDs, etc but I don't have enough USB ports available. I would like to use a USB hub if it is possible, and which USB Hub should I use? Thank you

Hello There! The BIG BIG BIG thing is you want a "Powered" USB Hub which means you plug it not only into your PC but also an electrical outlet. I funny enough am just going though a revamp of my setup and moved to the Sabrent 10 Port USB Hub that others have recommended here. 

I have quite a few but all my hubs are powered to make sure they all get appropriate power needed. 

If doing PWM Fans you wont need much there, smaller strips of LEDs will be ok but you don't want to get too crazy without external power. 

In the grand scheme of things it mostly comes down to making sure have a decent brand Powered Hub.

Hopefully that will help.
