Programmable USB Switch? [closed]
Is anyone aware of a USB Switch that is programmable or controlled via the PC?
I am writing a test application that requires the device (a mobile phone) to be plugged in via USB to a PC for initialization and then plugged in to a wall charger for a particular test.
Ideally I'd be able to have the phone plugged into the switch and then have two outputs from the switch - one to the PC and one to the wall charger. And then be able to set which connection to use from the PC.
Any thoughts?

simple and cheap, will have to change it to operate relays instead of just powering lights.
I haven't build the powerswitch example, but have used vusb for both serial and keyboard projects. works with really cheap hardware.
