I backed the #BLEcaberQU on kickstarter. https://ble.caberqu.com. Mine just arrived! You plug in power, then take a #USB cable and plug it in (both ends, the box has two remaining ports).

Max power; top speed; supported USB standards; appropriate stored info like manufacturer code; more.

Exceeds all expectations!

Here it is: The first clear image of an eclipse of the Sun by the Earth, taken from the surface of the Moon.

This is what last night's lunar eclipse looked like from the Blue Ghost lander's perspective on the Moon. Amazing!
