VINT Hub Phidget

The HUB0001 is a drop-in replacement for the HUB0000, supported by Phidget22 version 1.8 or newer.
HUB0001 will enable data rate increases of up to 10x for future generations of VINT devices.

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:

Six Versatile I/O Ports

With a VINT Hub Phidget, you can interface six devices to your computer through a single USB port. Each VINT port can perform one of four roles: Communicating with an intelligent VINT Device, reading a 0-5V Voltage or ratiometric sensor, acting as a digital output, or reading switches as a digital input. Each port has a power and ground pin, so you can also use the ports to gain access to the USB voltage supply directly.

Plug in one of our many VINT-enabled Phidgets that perform a wide variety of functions. Control motors and LEDs, measure temperature or motion, or build a large scale system with many inputs and outputs.

Easy to Use

VINT Devices are 'plug and program': automatically discovered by the Phidget API with the same ease of programming you've come to expect from Phidgets. Each VINT device has a full API with functions and events to make programming a snap.

Analog Sensor Compatible

Sometimes, you just need a few simple analog voltage sensors. Luckily, your collection of Phidget Analog Input sensors is not obsolete; each port on the USB VINT Hub can interface a 0-5V sensor. The VINT Port is backwards compatible with both ratiometric and non-ratiometric Phidget analog sensors.

Digital I/O Mode

In digital output mode, a VINT port can be used to drive LEDs, relays, digital circuits, and other simple electronics. Each port is PWM-enabled, allowing you to dim LEDs to a specific brightness.

Wire a switch or sensor contact directly into a VINT Port, and use the Digital Input mode to read the state of the switch.

If you need more than six inputs or outputs, you can expand by attaching a VINT I/O module. For example, there are VINT digital output modules with 16 outputs, allowing 96 digital outputs on a single VINT HUB Phidget! See the "Compatible Products" tab for a list of modules.
