ADK USB Host Shield for Arduino (USB Host Expansion Board)

The ADK USB Host Shield is an expansion board designed to add USB host functionality to Arduino-compatible development boards. It enables Arduino boards to communicate directly with USB devices such as keyboards, mice, game controllers, USB flash drives, and Android devices. The shield communicates through the SPI interface and is ideal for robotics, human interface device (HID) applications, data logging, and Android Open Accessory (ADK) projects.
