The Wireless VINT Hub is a simple way to use Phidgets in locations away from a computer by making them available on your local network via the Phidget Network Server. The HUB5000 requires a local WiFi signal and a power supply. You can also wire it directly into your modem or network switch using an ethernet cable. 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 Hub's 5V regulated power supply.
