Arduino USB Host Shield

Description

Shield for Arduino with USB Host MAX3421E controller and USB type A slot. It has led out all of the Arduino pins as well as additional slots for communication interfaces. Its driver is MAX3421 system that supports i.a.:

• the device with HID interface, i.e. keyboard, mouse, etc.
• game controller: PS3, XBox360 Nitendro and many others
• transducers of USB-UART, such as the popular FTDI and PL2303
• flash drive mass memories
• digital cameras, for example, the devices for Canon EOS, Nikon DSLRs
• Bluetooth USB modules
