How to program USB host shield?

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Hello

I need your help as soon as possible.

I have a Arduino Mega board and a USB host shield (like this : http://www.ebay.es/itm/like/261880660401?limghlpsr=true&hlpht=true&ul_noapp=true&hlpv=2&chn=ps&lpid=115&ops=true&viphx=1).

I need send some information from PC using Serial communication to Arduino mega by its programing port, and send this information by the USB host shield using Serial communication too.

It must run like a bridge, I send information from pc this information passes through the board and it is sent through the USB host shield.

 

 

PC=======>Arduino MEGA====>USB HOST SHIELD=====>OTHER MACHINE

 

 

All using serial communication.

 

 

It seems easy, but I couldn't find someone who tell me how I could do it.

I need some example code or something. It is very important because I need do it for a work.

Sorry for my English.Thanks in advanced

    Understood - The post that Clem left has excellent information on using the USB Host Shield; especially some gotchas with clocking the data. Here is the Github link for the shield (lots of example code…

    Good day all

     

    I know this is an old post, but looking for some assistance.

     

    I have an Arduino Uno with an USB Host Shield connected.

     

    Got as far as being able to read the USB Device descriptors etc with help from code and libraries on this site and Github.

     

    My goal is to connect an inverter  with USB to the Host shield.

    Inverter is pretty simple, I send a command to it in hex, and it replies with the data in the device.

     

    How do I go about sending a string of data via USB on host shield, and listen to USB on Host shield.

     

    Thanks in advance
