    Hi,

    Can someone please clarify the difference between the Microhard USB Dongle and the Microhard Add-on with USB Hub? Can I use either one of these to connect the Starling 2 UAV (with pMDDL 2450 modem) to the ground station? In the future, I would like to connect multiple UAVs to a single ground station over the Microhard mesh mode. Can this be achieved using either the USB dongle or the USB hub without any development effort?

    Thanks,
    George

      Hi @george-kollamkulam
      The "Dongle" is standalone and can be paired with any system with USB and 5V.
      The "add-on" specifically plugs into VOXL 2 B2B connectors.

      This info may help you to better understand our Add-on boards:
