Document

Eagle PCB local download Main components:

• Voltage converter chip：TC74HC4050 File:TC74HC4050AF.pdf
• Main control chi: MAX3421E File:MAX3421E.pdf

Development

• Need library: https://github.com/Microduino/Microduino_Tutorials/tree/master/Microduino_Libraries/_06_Microduino_USBHOST_MAX3421E
• Serial debug is disabled under default condition.
  • You need open the file "settings.h" from library folder;
  • Find "#define ENABLE_UHS_DEBUGGING 1", an then change to "#define ENABLE_UHS_DEBUGGING 1", then save it.
• USB_Host_Shield_2.0 library usage:
  • Bluetooth libraries:

An ordinary Bluetooth adapter. You can easily add different Bluetooth services, such as a PS3 or Wii controller or SPP which is supported through Bluetooth virtual serial port. A number of different examples can be found in the examples directory.

• • HID library:

Connect USB peripherals. Such as a mouse, handle etc.

• • BTHID library:

Connect HID devices via Bluetooth, currently supports HID mouse and keyboard.

• • SPP library:

Allow you send data to your Microduino from PM/mobile phone via Bluetooth.

• • PS4 Library:

Allow you to use the Sony PS4 controller via Bluetooth and USB.

• • PS3 Library:

Use DUALSHOCK3, navigation or motion controller via Bluetooth and USB.

• • Xbox Libraries:
  • Xbox Libraries:

The library uses USB as the Xbox 360 controller.

Application

Light a LED via a mobile using the ADK example library:

Prepare work

• Prepared hardware: Microduino FT232R, Microduino Core, Microduino USBHOST, OTG cable, make sure your Android device supports and turn on the USB debug mode, USB cable;
• Prepared software: USB_Host_Shield_2.0 library, Arduino IDE(1.0 release and upper);
• Uncompress the zip folder and rename to "USB_Host_Shield" because Arduino IDE doesn't support any special characters, then copy to libraries folder of Arduino IDE;
• Connect the Microduino FT232R and PC using USB cable to download program and serial monitor;
• Connect a LED to I/O port D6 of Microduino-Core.

Debug

• Open the example program "ArduinoBlinkLED" from ADK folder of examples;
• Change LED_BUILTIN to Microduino pin in "#define LED LED_BUILTIN", such as "#define LED 6". But can't be D13, because D13 is used as SCK;
• After compiled, select the board "Microduino Core (Atmega328P@16M,5V)", download directly;
• Connect the mobile phone and Microduino USBHOST by OTG cable and USB cable;
• Open the serial monitor, will display "Arduino Blink LED Started";
• The phone will automatically pop up the application "ArduinoBlinkLED", download and install it;
• After installed the application, will prompt to open the USB connection fittings, and click OK to enter the program interface;
• Successful connection will show "connected", and can control the LED light on and off via the button.
