Arduino USB Host Shield A000004

Arduino Programmers, USB and ICs – Arduino A000004, The Arduino USB Host shield lets your Arduino control USB peripherlas such as HID devices, mass storage, Android ADK devices and others. It complies with USB Specification Revision 2.0 (full-speed 12Mbps peripheral, full-/low-speed 12Mbps/1.5Mbps host) though actual throughput will depend on the Arduino. The on-board MAX3421E USB peripheral/host controller handles the electronic and low level USB protocol interfaces for you. It also protects against electro-static discharge (±15kV ESD) which might otherwise damage the board. The controller manages USB flow control, double buffering and time-sensitive operations greatly simplifying your software development. The shield communicates with the Arduino using SPI and to compensate you for losing pins to the SPI link it has 8 general purpose inputs and 8 outputs of it’s own that you can control.The shield is also Tinkerkit compatible allowing you to quickly connect a range of control, sensors and indicators.
