Descrizione
Theremino USB BUS V1: Dedicated Power and Modular Expansion Hub
The Theremino USB BUS V1 is a specialized expansion module designed to simplify the connection and external power supply for multiple Theremino MasterSMD controllers.
It is specifically engineered to interface with the MasterSMD’s secondary 4-pin USB port, serving as a distribution point for both data communication and centralized power for large, complex systems.
Key Features and Functionality
-
Modular Expansion: The module provides 7 dedicated ports for connecting MasterSMD modules and managing their communication.
-
Daisy-Chain Capability: Supports connecting one USB BUS V1 to another in a slave chain, allowing for virtually unlimited system expansion and synchronization across multiple segments.
-
External Power Supply Input: Accepts a centralized external power source.
-
High Current Capacity: Supports a maximum external current of , ensuring sufficient, stable power for multiple Masters, numerous sensors, and actuators connected to the bus.
-
Clean System Integration: Connects directly to the MasterSMD’s 4-pin secondary USB port, ensuring clean data transmission while providing dedicated, high-capacity power distribution for the entire expanded system.
Why Use the USB BUS V1?
The USB BUS V1 is essential for large-scale Theremino projects, providing the necessary infrastructure for stability and growth:
-
Large-Scale Automation: Powering and connecting up to 7 Masters per module, with potential for further expansion via daisy-chaining.
-
Ensuring Stability: Isolating the high current consumption from the PC’s USB port, preventing power-related communication issues and voltage drops.
-
Centralized Power: Simplifies cable management and guarantees robust power delivery across the entire multi-Master setup.
