USB Host Shield 2.0

Description

Meet the USB Host Shield 2.0: a powerful add-on module that enables Arduino boards to function as a USB host. Unlike a normal Arduino USB port, which only allows the board to connect to a computer, this shield allows your Arduino UNO, Mega, or ADK board to directly control and communicate with external USB devices. Based on the MAX3421E USB host controller, the shield supports a wide range of USB peripherals including keyboards, mice, gamepads, barcode scanners, USB flash drives, Bluetooth adapters, and Android devices through Android Open Accessory (ADK) mode. The module is fully compatible with Arduino UNO, Arduino Mega 2560, and Arduino ADK boards. It stacks directly onto the Arduino and wor
