摘要： The description relates to prototyping systems, including hubs for electrically connecting devices. One example can include an electrically insulative substrate and at least two connector tabs defined by the substrate, each connector tab including a data contact, a power contact, and a ground contact positioned over the substrate. A data bus can be positioned relative to the substrate and electrically connect all of the data contacts, a power bus can be positioned relative to the substrate and electrically connect all of the power contacts, and a ground bus can be positioned relative to the substrate and electrically connect all of the ground contacts.

摘要： The description relates to electronic prototyping platforms. One example can include an electrically insulative substrate having generally opposing first and second major surfaces and that includes an orientation feature that is visible on both of the first and second major surfaces. The example can include a first mounting hole through the substrate that is bordered by a first electrical conductor associated with data transmission. The example can also include a second mounting hole through the substrate that is bordered by a second electrical conductor associated with electrical ground, and a third mounting hole through the substrate that is bordered by a third electrical conductor associated with electrical power. The example can also include an edge connector tab defined by the substrate and having three exposed electrically conductive contacts that are coupled to the data electrical conductor, the ground electrical conductor, and the power electrical conductor and insulated from one another.

摘要： The description relates to prototyping systems, including hubs for electrically connecting devices. One example can include an electrically insulative substrate and at least two connector tabs defined by the substrate. Each connector tab can include a data contact a power contact and a ground contact positioned on the substrate. A data bus can be positioned relative to the substrate and electrically connect all of the data contacts, a power bus can be positioned relative to the substrate and electrically connect all of the power contacts and a ground bus can be positioned relative to the substrate and electrically connect all of the ground contacts in accordance with a first prototyping format. The example can also include adapter contacts positioned on the substrate and configured to electrically connect to a data contact, a power contact, and a ground contact of another device that complies with a second different prototyping format.

摘要： A computer mouse module comprising a power supply component; a movement sensor, an encoder operable to encode data collected by the movement sensor, a transmitter for transmitting the encoded data to a computer and a physical connector for detachably attaching a handle portion to the computer mouse module. The computer mouse module may be attached to the handle portion to form a functioning mouse where a user grips the mouse handle portion to control the mouse.
