Interface description
-
Micro USB interface (USB-C)
Through the Micro USB interface, the Nous Hub can connect to various computer devices, obtain power and communicate with the computer devices.
When charging the Nous Hub, make sure the voltage is below 6V. -
Micro HDMI interface (camera)
The Nous camera module does not support automatic communication recovery. If the camera module is disconnected from the Nous Hub during use, it may cause the Nous Hub program to run abnormally. Therefore, it is recommended to plug and unplug the camera module when the Nous Hub is shutdown. -
USB-C electronic module expansion interface (not limited to servo module)
Nous Hub can intelligently identify the ID address information of electronic modules. When Nous Hub is connected to multiple servos (the other electronic modules are the same). you only need to modify the ID address of the servo during programming, without specifying the interface to which the servo is connected. As shown in the figure below, specify the ID address bit of the first servo connected to Nous Hub as 01, the second as 02, and so on.
Quick start
Enter the system operation interface
Shut down: After pressing the power button for 3 seconds, a prompt box will
pop up on the screen and you need to confirm that you want to shut down. Click
