USB Host Shield For Arduino UNO, MEGA, Compatible with Google Android ADK

This is revision 2.0 of USB Host Shield. Thanks to the new interface layout it is now compatible with more Arduinos - not only UNO and Duemilanove but also big Mega and Mega 2560 work with Standard variant of this shield out of the box. No more SPI re-wiring and code modifications! This is a great shield if you want to interface with Android phones or tablets too :)

Note: You will need to solder some of the pads to provide power to the USB socket and also the shield.

This shield is shipped as the picture has shown, containing a populated and tested board plus a set of stackable headers, which is properly soldered.


Arduino Compatible board with standard connector layout, including ICSP connector, should work.

The following device classes are currently supported by the shield:

• HID devices, such as keyboards, mice, joysticks, etc.
• USB to serial converters - FTDI, PL-2303, ACM, as well as certain cell phones and GPS receivers
• ADK-capable Android phones and tablets
• Digital cameras - Canon EOS, Powershot, Nikon DSLRs and P&S, as well as generic PTP
• Support for more devices is currently in development.

Packing List:

• 1x USB Host Shield

Resources:

• Arduino library and examples, hosted on GitHub
• Schematic, pdf file

One is called the host (or server) and the other one is called peripheral (client). The Host device controls the peripheral device and also provides power to it. When you connect any USB device like a mouse or a keyboard to your computer, your computer acts as the host and controls (or polls) the client device (keyboard or mouse or even an Arduino).

For a successful communication to happen using USB protocol, you need at least one of the device to be the host, which means that you cannot connect two keyboards together and expect them to communicate with each other. Featured By RoboticsBD.
