Abstract

A plug-and-play Hub that provides an intermediary between an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and peripheral electronic devices. The Hub has a power and data interface to the UAV and peripheral ports that allow the peripheral electronic devices to connect to the Hub. The peripheral ports provide power to the peripheral electronic devices and also allow data communication between the Hub and the peripheral electronic devices. The Hub may detect when a peripheral electronic device has been plugged into a peripheral port and access communication protocol information and voltage level information by way of the peripheral port. A Hub voltage converter receives power from the UAV and converts the UAV power source voltage to a voltage level that is suitable for the various peripheral electronic devices. The Hub has a data hub that mediates data communication between the UAV and the various peripheral electronic devices.
