I don't know if this is the best forum. It is 'general electronics' but at the same time, I am using an Arduino.
I have been trying to interface a USB with an Arduino. Doing some research, I found I needed a USB host - makes sense. I was looking around to find a good USB host board. I know there are shields but decent ones are fairly expensive. I came across this (http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/usb-h...MIsZ3b9r_e4QIVBrXtCh0-uQ7aEAkYAiABEgKeVPD_BwE) but on the website it wants me to select a software option. However, for my project, I don't just want the USB host only to work with a sinlge type of device. Just like a computer, I want it to be able to have any device connected to it.
Is there a USB host out there (preferably that works with Arduino) that will allow me to just plug in any USB device, whether it be a mouse, keyboard, flash drive, MIDI keyboard etc?
Thanks,
Bod
