USB Host Shield for Arduino Uno, Mega, or Due

This shield is suitable for an Arduino Uno, Arduino Mega or Arduino Due. The shield turns the microcontroller into a USB host. This makes it possible to connect, for example, a mouse or keyboard.

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-supported Android phones and tablets
Mass storage devices: USB sticks, memory card readers, external hard drives, etc.
Bluetooth dongles (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 must be installed. This can also be installed via the 'library manager' in the Arduino IDE.
