Revision 2.0 of the USB Host Shield library for Arduino, driving the MAX3421E USB host controller. It supports USB devices including game controllers (PS3/PS4/PS5, Xbox, Wii, Switch Pro), Bluetooth HID, MIDI, mass storage, FTDI serial, and Android ADK.

Use cases

  • connect a PS4 or Xbox controller to an Arduino
  • read files from a USB flash drive on Arduino
  • use a USB keyboard or mouse with an Arduino
  • send and receive MIDI over USB on Arduino
  • host Bluetooth devices with an Arduino USB shield
  • interface an Arduino with Android via ADK

When to choose

  • you have a MAX3421E-based USB Host Shield and an Arduino-compatible board
  • you need to host USB peripherals like gamepads, HID devices, or mass storage on a microcontroller

When to avoid

  • your board has native USB host support and you want a simpler driver stack
  • you need a license other than GPL or require a formal license file
  • you are not using AVR/Arduino-compatible hardware
