USB Host Shield Hardware Manual

USB Host Shield 2.0 pinout

USB Host Shield 2.0 pinout


Today, I posted a static page containing USB Host Shield hardware manual. On this page, I give introduction to the shield hardware, explain board layout, connectors and jumpers. Finally, I show some useful modifications that can be made to the board to expand its capabilities.

I decided to post it incomplete – at present, only 2.0 shields are covered. However, I’m not going to stop here – Mini will be described next followed by rev.1xx. Owners of rev.1xx may want to take a look at current page anyway since 2.0 and 1.xx are not that different.

While writing this manual I tried to cover every detail. If you think that I missed something, please let me know!

Enjoy,
Oleg.

    i got to ask, where did u find these data ?? thanks

    i understand. i got it from one of the code on the usb.h file. i am just curious where u find out that the state attached is 0x10 and so on so forth. Thanks.

  • Thanks for your hard work. I have a question regarding MAX3421E. According to the errata sheet from Max website (http://datasheets.maxim-ic.com/en/errata/MAX3421E_REV1.pdf). This chip has three revision of firmware. I wonder which revision is mounted on your UHS? Does example/libraries have work-around for the differences?

    Hello Oleg

    I have already a (little) question about the usb-shield. Now we can buy the arudino due, but it’s an only 3.3 volt device. There are some soldering-jumper on your usb-shield.
    Now my question: Can I switch the usb-shield to work with only 3.3 volt or need i a voltage converter between the two circuits?

    Thanks and wishes
    Peter

    • The shield works as-is from 3.3v – if you feed 3.3v to both 5v and 3.3v rails. There will be another problem – Due has very different architecture and won’t work with the library without modifications in low-level MAX3421E interface.

    I hoped, if I build similar spi-functions like the other arduinos I can make it working. But i don’t looked at the code until now.
    My first prototype work with a mega2560, maybe later i will try the due, because i will made jpeg en/decode stuff…
