YoctoHub-Ethernet, YoctoHub-Wireless and YoctoHub-GSM
You can add network connectivity to your Yocto-Display, thanks to the YoctoHub-Ethernet, the
YoctoHub-Wireless and the YoctoHub-GSM which provides repectiveley Ethernet, WiFi and GSM
connectivity. All of them can drive up to three devices and behave exactly like a regular computer
running a
VirtualHub .
1.27mm (or 1.25mm) connectors
In case you wish to connect your Yocto-Display to a Micro-hub USB or a YoctoHub without using a
bulky USB connector, you can use the four 1.27mm pads just behind the USB connector. There are
two options.
You can mount the Yocto-Display directly on the hub using screw and spacers, and connect it using
1.27mm board-to-board connectors. To prevent shortcuts, it is best to solder the female connector on
the hub and the male connector on the Yocto-Display.
You can also use a small 4-wires cable with a 1.27mm connector. 1.25mm works as well, it does not
make a difference for 4 pins. This makes it possible to move the device a few inches away. Don't put
it too far away if you use that type of cable, because as the cable is not shielded, it may cause
undesirable electromagnetic emissions.
Enclosure
Your Yocto-Display has been designed to be installed as is in your project. Nevertheless, Yoctopuce
sells enclosures specifically designed for Yoctopuce modules. The recommended enclosure for your
Yocto-Display is the YoctoBox-Display model. It has a small removable stand enabling it to stay
upright, it is also equipped with powerful magnets allowing it to stick on ferromagnetic surfaces. More
details are available on the Yoctopuce web site
