Other options include CAN (PC->USB-CAN converter->daisy chained boards) and I personally haven’t tried it but multiplexing 8 uarts using CMOS multiplexer might work.

Thanks madcowswe, but I don’t know how to do it with the Usb Hub, I already have USB Hub hardware, but for software it is how I need to use it to communicate thank you.

Is the main computer linux? If so, you can easily give each device a unique name based on which USB port it is plugged in to. Then you can name them odrive1, odrive2… etc.
