Arduino USB Host Shield V 2.0 ADK for Arduino

Arduino USB Host Shield V 2.0 ADK for Arduino

The Arduino USB Host Shield V 2.0 ADK for Arduino is equipped with a USB Host library that provides support for various USB device classes, including Human Interface Devices (HID), mass storage devices, and Bluetooth dongles. This library simplifies the process of integrating USB functionality into Arduino projects, making it accessible even for those new to USB communication.

The shield’s design includes provisions for reconfiguring the SPI and interrupt pins, allowing flexibility in pin assignments to accommodate different project requirements. This feature is particularly useful when working with Arduino Mega boards, where certain pins may be allocated for other purposes.

Overall, the Arduino USB Host Shield V2.0 ADK is a powerful tool for expanding the capabilities of Arduino boards, enabling them to interface with a wide range of USB devices and Android smartphones or tablets. Its compatibility with various Arduino models and support for multiple USB device classes make it a valuable addition to any Arduino enthusiast’s toolkit.
