[Elecraft] Windows 8.1 tablet power

[Bill Frantz]

Back feeding a Raspberry Pi from USB bypasses the fuse in the 
Pi. It is probably a good idea to include one in the power 
supply to the hub. That is how I powered my Pi.

When I changed to a Beaglebone Black, the USB wouldn't work. I 
had to remove power to the hub and power it from the Beaglebone 
before I could connect USB devices.
