Master

The PomeLabs Master Module (PML-MST-01) is the central hub of the PomeLabs ecosystem, responsible for powering all connected modules, maintaining signal transparency throughout the circuit, and enabling communication with a host computer via USB Type-C — no complex wiring, just connect and control.

1. Overview and Role

The Master module is the core of the system, fulfilling three distinct roles: power distribution, signal transparency, and computer communication.

Power Distribution

On the power side, the Master module is responsible for supplying energy to all connected modules. This is achieved through embedded PMU (Power Management Unit) blocks, which ensure that the voltage delivered to each module is properly regulated and protected against faults such as overvoltage, overcurrent, or short circuits. This centralized power architecture simplifies wiring and ensures consistent, stable operation across the entire system.

Signal Transparency

On the signal side, the Master module behaves like a standard child module — it is fully transparent to the signal chain. This means it can be inserted at any position in the circuit without altering signal routing or behavior. No special placement rules apply, giving you complete freedom when designing or expanding your system layout.

Computer Communication

The Master module also serves as the communication gateway between the module network and a host computer. This link is established through a USB Type-C interface, enabling data exchange, configuration, and monitoring directly from a connected PC or laptop. This makes it straightforward to set up, debug, and control the system through software.
