USB Host Shield for Arduino

USB Host Shield for Arduino

Non-returnable
BD 21.500
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.

This shield can easily be placed on an Arduino Uno, Arduino Mega or Arduino Due. The shield makes a USB host of the microcontroller such that, for example, a mouse or keyboard can be connected to the Arduino.

The following types of devices are supported:

  • HID devices: keyboards, mice, etc.
  • Game controllers: Sony PS3, Nintendo Wii, Xbox360.
  • USB to Serial converters: FTDI, PL-2303, ACM, etc.
  • ADK capable Android phones and tablets
  • Mass storage devices: USB sticks, memory card readers, external hard drives, etc.
  • Bluetooth dongles. (Please note: Some Bluetooth devices may draw more power than the Arduino can supply, if a bluetooth device does not work, an external power source must be used.)

The board is based on the MAX3421 chip and works with the SPI pins on the Arduino. 

To use the board, the USB Host Shield 2.0 library needs to be installed. This can also be installed in the Arduino IDE via the 'library manager'. 

For the schematic, see the datasheet under the tab "Downloads and Links".
