The Arduino USB Host Shield allows you to connect a USB device to your Arduino board. The Arduino USB Host Shield is based on the MAX3421E (datasheet), which is a USB peripheral/host controller containing the digital logic and analog circuitry necessary to implement a full-speed USB peripheral or a full-/low-speed host compliant to USB specification rev 2.0. The shield is TinkerKit compatible, which means you can quickly create projects by plugging TinkerKit modules onto the board.
Arduino compatible with the following hardware:
Arduino Uno 328
Arduino Diecimila / Duemilanove 328
Arduino Mega 2560 (??recommended)
Arduino Mega 1280
Using Arduino USB HOST function, let your Arduino communicate with other USB devices, and supports USB HUB function.
The following device classes are supported by the shield:
- HID devices: keyboards, mice, joysticks, etc.
- Game controllers: Sony PS3, Nintendo Wii, Xbox360.
- USB to serial converters: FTDI, PL-2303, ACM, as well as certain cell phones and GPS receivers.
- ADK-capable Android phones and tables.
- Digital cameras: Canon EOS, Powershot, Nikon DSLRs and P&S, as well as generic PTP.
- Mass storage devices: USB sticks, memory card readers, external hard drives, etc.
- Bluetooth dongles.
