	The E-Stop input is shorted with a jumper wire by default. If you would like to implement an E-Stop system, we recommend connecting a normally-closed (NC) switch to the E-Stop input.

			====Multiple Motor Controllers====

			If your project uses multiple motor controllers with E-Stops, we recommend wiring them separately because wiring them together can cause ground loops that introduce instability. The best solution is to buy a multi-throw E-Stop switch that provides a separate circuit for each controller.

			You can search for on an electronics retailer like Digikey for a DPST-NC switch for two controllers, or 3PST/4PST for three or four.

Direct USB Connection

	The best way to know before getting your hands on a device is to check its specifications for whether it can serve as a USB host. Alternately, a quick way to figure out if your device can serve as a USB host is to try plugging other devices (such as a mouse, or USB memory stick) into your Android device.		The best way to know before getting your hands on a device is to check its specifications for whether it can serve as a USB host. Alternately, a quick way to figure out if your device can serve as a USB host is to try plugging other devices (such as a mouse, or USB memory stick) into your Android device.

			To allow the use of the network and/or USB connections, the following lines must be added to your AndroidManifest.xml file:
			<syntaxhighlight>
			<!-- Required for network access -->
			<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

			<!-- Required for USB access -->
			<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.usb.host" />
			</syntaxhighlight>

			You'll need to initialize the method that the Android device can use to communicate with the Phidget.

			<syntaxhighlight lang="Java">
			//Allow direct USB connection of Phidgets
			com.phidget22.usb.Manager.Initialize(this);
			</syntaxhighlight>

			Once the device is closed, to completely clean up after using Phidgets, you must uninitialize the USB connection as follows:

			<syntaxhighlight lang="Java">
			//Disable USB connection to Phidgets
			com.phidget22.usb.Manager.Uninitialize();
			</syntaxhighlight>

	The white schematic on the left shows a simplified version of the REL2103's circuitry: An optocoupler that activates two MOSFETs.

			{{UGC-Entry\|Can I use this relay without a VINT Hub?\|
			\|
			Unlike most VINT devices that communicate to the VINT Hub by sending packets on the data line, the REL2103 is simply controlled with the port in digital output mode. This means that you can control it with other digital output devices. For example, you can control it with a Phidget 1018 like this:

			[[Image:REL2XXX_1018.png\|link=\|500px]]

			Here's a simplified diagram to clarify how the input side of REL2103 works:

			[[Image:REL2103_circuit.png\|link=\|650px]]

			The red wire requires 5V to power the opto-isolator diode, and the white wire requires at least 3.3V to switch the MOSFET.
