Description: 1. Arduino UNO USB Host Shield is an add-on board that enables Arduino UNO to function as a USB host, allowing direct communication with USB devices such as keyboards, mice, joysticks, or mass storage devices. 2. This shield provides two USB 2.0 full-speed ports, each capable of supplying up to 500mA current. It also features a resettable fuse on each port for overcurrent protection. 3. Unique benefit: The Arduino UNO USB Host Shield simplifies the process of interfacing complex USB devices with Arduino projects, eliminating the need for external controllers or additional microcontrollers. 4. It features a low-power mode to save power when no USB device is connected, and an optional pull-up resistor on D+/D- lines for better compatibility with certain devices. 5. This shield utilizes the FTDI USB controller chip, which allows the Arduino UNO to emulate a USB keyboard or mouse, making it suitable for various HID (Human Interface Device) projects. 6. The Arduino UNO USB Host Shield also
