UNO USB Host Shield for Arduino

The UNO USB Host Shield compatible with Arduino is based on the MAX3421E, 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. For a successful communication to happen using USB host shield 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.

Features:

• Works with standard (dual 5/3.3V) and 3.3V-only (for example, Pro Arduino) boards.
• Operates over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range
• Complies with USB Specification Revision 2.0 (Full-Speed 12Mbps Peripheral, Full-/Low-Speed 12Mbps/1.5Mbps Host)
• Supports HID devices, such as keyboards, mice, joysticks, etc.
• Compatible with Mass storage devices, such as USB sticks, memory card readers, external hard drives

Applications:

• Interfacing HID Devices: Connects keyboards, mice, and joysticks to Arduino projects.
• Game Controllers: Allows the use of Sony PS3, Nintendo Wii, and Xbox360 controllers with Arduino.
• USB to Serial Converters: Supports FTDI, PL-2303, ACM, and certain cell phones and GPS receivers.
• Android Devices: Enables communication with ADK-capable Android phones and tablets.
• Digital Cameras: Interfaces with Canon EOS, Powershot, Nikon DSLRs, and other PTP cameras.
• Mass Storage Devices: Connects USB sticks, memory card readers, and external hard drives.
• Bluetooth Dongles: Adds Bluetooth connectivity to Arduino projects.
• Custom USB Controllers: Create custom USB controllers for various applications.
• Data Logging: Log data from USB devices like sensors and storage devices.
• Robotics: Integrate USB peripherals into robotics projects for enhanced functionality.
