VINT Hub Phidget, HUB0002_0
This VINT Hub has six high-speed VINT ports and is ideal for new Phidget systems.
The VINT Hub is one of the most commonly used Phidgets. Connect up to six devices to your computer through a single USB port. Phidgets are "Plug and Program" - When plugged in, they are automatically discovered by the Phidget drivers and made available to your program. You can configure each port to operate in different modes that make it easy to interface with VINT devices, analog sensors, or logic-level circuits. Each port also has a power and ground pin, providing direct access to the USB voltage supply.
Features
- Six versatile ports that can operate in different modes
- Communicate with an intelligent VINT Device
- Read a 0-5V Voltage or ratiometric sensor
- Act as a PWM-enabled digital output or digital input
- The mode of each port is set in your program, allowing for flexible use in projects
The HUB0002_0 has improved immunity, resulting in a longer maximum cable length for any device with the Shield icon printed on the enclosure. It also supports high-speed megabit communication (marked with Speed). For some VINT devices, this will result in faster data rates and lower latency.

* - Ports 0, 1 and 2 share power, as do ports 3, 4 and 5. This specification is the maximum shared between each set of 3 ports.
** VINT Port voltage is taken dierectly from USB voltage, so it may not be exactly 5V depending on what kind of USB port the HUB0002 is plugged into.
*** ADC is 12 bit, oversampled to 15 bit.
