Yepkit USB Switchable Hub by YKUSH
YKUSH boards allow the user to selectively switch ON and OFF the power of each of the USB devices connected to the Hub downstream ports. The control is done using an application in the host system (e.g., PC to which the YKUSH board is connected). Switching ON/OFF a YKUSH downstream port with a device connected to it has the same effect than physically Connecting/Disconnecting a Device to a port of a typical USB hub.
 
The switching control is performed by sending commands to the on-board microcontroller (YKUSH board control unit), which is seen by host as a HID USB device not requiring the installation of specific drivers. The communication between the host and the board control unit is based on a simple message protocol. The communication protocol is documented and detailed in the Product Manual available for download bellow, in the Documents and Resources section.
 
A control application is also available for download bellow, in the Documents and Resources section. This application implements all commands and functionality currently supported by YKUSH boards. It's a fully functional command line console application that can be used as-is or as a base for user development of own applications.
 
The control application is made available for Linux and Windows operating systems. Nonetheless it uses cross-platform libraries which facilitates porting the application source code to be built in other operating systems. The software is distributed as open source. For Windows a pre-built executable is also available for download.
 
The board performs the power switching of the downstream ports by switching the VBUS lines. For some self-powered USB devices (USB devices that use an external power supply to draw power) the additional switching of the data-lines may be required to fully disconnect the device. For these cases please check the YKUSH 3 board.

Application Example
Consider the scenario of a home server DIY implementation. One of the functions of this system is to perform daily backups of the household computers.
 
With YKUSH the home server is able to switch ON and OFF the USB external HDD drives, effectively powering them ON/OFF. This way it is ensured that the drives are only powered when they are being used to backup data enabling a higher longevity of the drives and lower power consumption..

Safety Warnings and Usage Guidelines

Based on the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on General Product Safety (GPSR), we present a list of safety warnings. The aim is to protect users from potential hazards resulting from improper use of products/devices.

1. General Safety Measures

* Use the device only in accordance with its intended purpose and the manufacturer's instructions.
* Before first use, read the user manual carefully.

Hazards for children:
* Keep the product/device out of reach of children. Children are unable to assess existing risks.

2. Mechanical Hazards

* Check that all components are properly assembled before operating the device.
* Avoid using tools that may damage the product or contribute to its damage. Do not modify the product: do not open/disassemble it!

3. Electrical Hazards
* Connect only to a socket with the appropriate voltage, in accordance with the manufacturer’s requirements.
* Improper handling of products powered by mains voltage may result in fatal electric shock! If the product and/or the connection cable are damaged, do not touch them; there is a risk of fatal electric shock! Never use the device if the power cord is damaged, frayed, or cut. Avoid touching the power cord or plug with wet hands.
* Product with a separate power supply: before connecting the device to a plug-in or external power supply, ensure that the voltage, polarity (plus/+ and minus/-), and plug dimensions (e.g., inner/outer diameter) match the device.
* Product with a mains plug: the power outlet used for connection must be located near the product and easily accessible. Always unplug the power cord by pulling the plug, not the cable.
* Product with a power cord: the power cable must not be pinched, bent, or damaged by sharp edges. Do not place any objects on the power cord or step on it. The cable should always be arranged carefully to prevent tripping.
* Product intended for soldering: use only appropriate electronic solder and an electronic soldering iron. The soldering process should be performed quickly to avoid overheating and possible damage to the product.

4. Usage Precautions

* Place the product on a stable, flat surface to prevent it from tipping over.
* Always maintain sufficient space around the device (as recommended by the manufacturer) to ensure proper ventilation.
* The operation of certain products (e.g., machines or tools) requires the use of personal protective equipment to minimize health or other risks. This includes, for example, suitable hearing protection, an appropriate respirator/dust mask, or safety goggles, as well as proper gloves, safety footwear, and clothing.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning
* Before performing maintenance or cleaning, read the product’s user manual.
* Improper cleaning agents may not only damage the product but also cause other hazards — follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.

6. User Warnings
* Elderly persons or individuals with limited mobility should exercise particular caution when operating the product and, if necessary, seek assistance from another person.
* If the device operates abnormally (e.g., emits smoke, overheats, or produces unusual sounds), immediately switch it off, disconnect it from power, and contact authorized service.
* Store the product in a dry and cool place to prevent mechanical and electrical damage.

7. Disposal
* All electrical and electronic equipment placed on the European market must be properly disposed of. This means that, at the end of its service life, the device must be disposed of separately from unsorted household waste.

8. Importance of Following the Warnings
Following the above warnings minimizes the risk of personal injury, device malfunction, and material losses. Ignoring these recommendations may lead to serious health and material hazards. Protect yourself and your loved ones by following the indicated safety measures. Detailed warnings or product safety information are available in the user manual supplied with the product or in PDF format on the manufacturer’s/supplier’s website.
