VINT Hub Phidget
The core of our product line, the USB VINT Hub has 6 VINT ports allowing for endless possibilities for USB sensing and control.
The VINT Hub is one of the most commonly used Phidgets. Connect up to 6 devices to your computer through a single USB port.
Each VINT port can perform one of four roles:
- Communicate with an intelligent VINT Device
- Read a 0-5V Voltage or ratiometric sensor
- Act as a digital output
- Read switches as a digital input
- The mode of each port is set in your program, allowing for flexible use in projects.
Technical details:
- Plug and Program - Device is automatically discovered by the Phidget API when attached
- Pulse Width Modulation Enabled - Ports in DigitalOutput mode support PWM, useful for dimming LEDs and other simple components
- Analog Sensor compatible - Each port is backward compatible with both ratiometric and non-ratiometric Phidget analog sensors
- USB Voltage Supply - Each port has a power and ground pin providing direct access to the USB voltage supply
- Improved Performance on newer VINT devices. See the Advanced Topics section of the User Guide for more details.
