Abstract
The description relates to prototyping systems, including hubs for electrically connecting devices. One example can include an electrically insulative substrate and at least two connector tabs defined by the substrate. Each connector tab can include a data contact a power contact and a ground contact positioned on the substrate. A data bus can be positioned relative to the substrate and electrically connect all of the data contacts, a power bus can be positioned relative to the substrate and electrically connect all of the power contacts and a ground bus can be positioned relative to the substrate and electrically connect all of the ground contacts in accordance with a first prototyping format. The example can also include adapter contacts positioned on the substrate and configured to electrically connect to a data contact, a power contact, and a ground contact of another device that complies with a second different prototyping format.
