Using setDeviceSerialNumber()

This is some pared down code that basically turns on the Power Plug Phidget (Python). def main(): #Create your Phidget channels digitalOutput3 = DigitalOutput() # Power Plug Phidget, ID: PSU1000_0 << other code re other Vints is omitted for clarity >> digitalOutput3.setIsHubPortDevice(True) digitalO...

Re: Controlling a relay board with VINT Hub Phidget.

ok, my mistake. Maybe I got onto that page and assumed that the phrase "digital output" applied to anything with a digital output. But if I'm using the digital output of the VINT hub, can I just drive it directly? Do I just skip the pull-up resistor? The relay board is actually a 12V board...

Controlling a relay board with VINT Hub Phidget.

I have a VINT Hub Phidget, and I want to control a relay board. I read the web page on the open collector output. https://www.phidgets.com/docs/Open_Collector_Digital_Output_Primer. The relays will turn on an external power supply. If there is no power to the relay board, or the VINT Hub, I want to ...

Re: disabling Voltage input collection...

Actually, I am using VCP1001_0, which has a +- 40 V input. Should I then set the voltage change to 40V? The API says: "The channel will not issue a VoltageChange event until the voltage value has changed by the amount specified by the VoltageChangeTrigger." I assumed this really meant by a...

disabling Voltage input collection...

Is there a simple way to totally disable further data collection on a VoltageInput device? I used voltageInput0.setOnVoltageChangeHandler(onVoltageChange) to set the handler, and then set the data rate, but at some point I want to turn off the data collection. I will try setting the VoltageChangeHan...

Does "high speed" mean USB 2 or USB 3?

I'm intersted in using a Phidget SBC to run a USB 3 camera. However, I can't find exactly what USB ports the SBC has. They say "high speed", which I assume means USB 2. Does anyone know for certain?
Thanks for your time.
