Colswe-Hub-Ethernet is a Fast-Ethernet module that can host three Colswe modules to access them remotely. It can be powered either by a USB Micro-B cable, or directly from the Ethernet cable (PoE compatible with 802.3af standard).
Colswe-Hub-Ethernet can be used in the same way as a VirtualHub running on a little PC, but it is much easier to setup and maintain than a PC. It smaller and consume less. It is compatible out-of-the-box with all existing applications using Yoctopuce API. As for the VirtualHub, it can run autonomously using HTTP callbacks.
Three Colswe modules can be connected directly, one of which can be fixed directly on Colswe-Hub-Ethernet and connected using a Board2Board-127 connector. More devices can be connected thanks to the YoctoHub-Shield extension. Colswe-Hub-Ethernet can power Colswe environmental devices up to 2A.
Warning: although the 3 downstream ports hosting Colswe environmental devices use USB micro-B connectors, Colswe Hub Ethernet uses a specific protocol simpler than USB to talk to the devices. Therefore, it is not possible, neither to drive or even power a regular (non-Colswe environmental) device using Colswe Hub Ethernet nor to use a regular USB hub, such as the Micro-USB-Hub on the downstream ports. If you need more downstream ports for Colswe environmental devices, you can use a YoctoHub-Shield.
